How to Make Fry Bread at Home Recipe

First what we’ll do is just take four cups of flour and add it to the mixing bowl.

Next we add 3 teaspoons of salt and you can add more or less depending on how salty or unsalty you like your fry bread.

Then you can add three teaspoons of baking powder to the mixing bowl.

I’ll mix it slowly and after mixing it good you will want to make a well in the center of the bowl where you will add warm water.

You get about two to three cups of water make sure it’s warm and pour it in the well you kind of just mix it up.

You will see we kind of feel the consistency of the mixture and you will find whether or not to put more water or more flour to the mixture based on how it feels as you continue to mix it with your hand.

It’s okay if your dough kind of starts to get if it’s a little wet, just add a little flour. Really you can’t go wrong because you can adjust as you go.

Once you have the consistency of the dough that you want which would be a loose and soft.

It might be a little sticky but don’t worry it is where you want it to be. Next get a dry dish cloth and just cover your mixture bowl with the flour mixture in it and let it sit for about  20 to 30 minutes.

Once your dough has risen just go ahead and get them out and make them into little balls so I let them rise a little bit longer about 10-15 minutes and you can put this on a baking sheet and then cover it.

For the frying part, you will need a deep skillet pan for Dutch oven and fill it with usually use great value vegetable oil or my all-time favorite is the snow-capped lard which pretty much grew up on this lard and it’s the best.

So what I do is just put some and just let the oil melt and I usually put it on how about an eight too high and then what you’re going to do is just going to let the grease melt and get really hot and be careful don’t let no kids around and be very cautious about that because it could get a little scary.

Once the oil gets hot you want to take your dough and just shape it into a flat saucer shape and you can use a rolling pin as well if you like.

I like to use my hands to stretch it you kind of just like a pizza. Have it between your hands and as you can see it starts to get bigger just stretch it out out of the way and what I like to do is just make a little circle in the center that way air can get through it when it is frying you have you just set it in here very carefully and just kind of push down on the fry bread so it doesn’t pop up all over.

Then you’ll start to see it turn brown around the edges and in the center that’s the sign to turn it over so the other side can get brown. It doesn’t take very long after that once your grease is very hot to cook it.

Then take it out of the grease and shake off the excess grease over the pan and place it where you will put the rest of the cook fry bread.
