1 deep fryer (No basket needed) heat oil to 450
1 set of long metal tongs to turn fry bread in oil as needed
1 Large bowl for mixture
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Or) Just use 1 cup self-rising flour instead of all purpose flour, salt and baking powder
Add enough water to mixture to form moist dough
1-medium size bowl with extra flour about 2 cups
1 Large plate or drainage basket with paper towel to soak grease from fry bread when done
Add enough water to mixture as you knead the dough, Remember not to work the dough too much, as it will become very tough and very chewy. When you add the water and knead it with your hands, and it forms a soft moist ball, that is enough! Then let sit for about 30 minutes in Large bowl. As you wait, turn your oil on to heat, also have your medium bowl with extra flour ready.
After the 30 minutes, you flour your hands good, then take about an (egg-size) piece of moist dough and roll in your flour, then start forming and flattening out the small piece of dough.
Place into hot grease, (it will go to the bottom) but soon will rise to the top. You must then use your tongs to flip it over at once! Let cook till about 1 minute, flip back over with tongs. Cook till it is golden brown on both sides by flipping often.
Use tongs to remove from grease and place on paper towel for soaking the extra grease from your fry bread! Enjoy!
Note: Very good served with honey, powdered sugar, different kinds of jams or jellies.
Best of all to eat with any kind of your favorite stews and soups!
