Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Traditional Navajo Fry Bread.
Step 1
To start your delicious fry bread adventure, grab a heavy skillet and heat up some vegetable oil until it reaches a sizzling 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oil warms, take a large bowl and sift together the flour, baking powder, powdered milk, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
This step not only combines the ingredients but also adds a little air, making your fry bread light and fluffy.
Step 4
Next, slowly pour in the water, stirring gently until a sticky dough begins to form.
Step 5
Don’t worry if it feels a bit messy; that’s part of the fun! Once your dough is ready, dust your hands with a bit of flour and shape the dough into a nice, round ball.
Step 6
Now comes the exciting part: carefully place your dough ball into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry it up until it turns a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Step 8
Keep an eye on it; the aroma will be irresistible! When it’s perfectly browned, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fry bread to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 9
This will help soak up any excess oil, leaving you with a crispy, delicious treat.
Step 10
Enjoy your homemade fry bread warm, perhaps with a sprinkle of sugar or a savory topping of your choice!.
