Cooking Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to guarantee that all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gradually add warm water to the dry mixture. Stir until the dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth, about 5-7 minutes. After kneading, let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
Roll the dough into circles approximately 7 inches wide and ¼ to ⅛ inch thick. Make sure the dough is evenly rolled out to guarantee even frying.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or deep frying pan to a temperature of 350-375°F. Carefully place the rolled dough into the hot oil, laying it away from your body to prevent splashes.
Fry the dough for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it turns golden brown. Use tongs to flip the frybread carefully.
Once cooked, remove the frybread from the oil and drain it on paper towels to absorb excess grease. Navajo Fry bread is traditionally served in Native American cuisine, offering a delicious addition to various meals.
For best results, verify that your oil is at the correct temperature before frying. If the oil is too cool, the frybread will absorb more oil and become greasy.
If it's too hot, the outside will cook too quickly while the inside remains raw.
Additionally, feel free to experiment with toppings or variations of the recipe, such as adding spices or using different types of flour.
Enjoy your frybread warm and fresh for the best flavor and texture!
