Fry Bread Recipe

Prepare the dough. In a large bowl, add the all-purpose flour, dry milk, aluminum-free baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix until well combined.

Add the vegetable oil and warm water. Stir with your hand until a sticky dough forms.

Lightly knead the dough in the bowl with your hand just until a soft, smooth dough forms. If the dough is overly sticky, dust it with flour. (See notes 1.)

Shape the dough into a smooth round ball. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes.

Pinch off a golf ball sized ball of dough and roll until smooth. Repeat with the remaining dough to create eight evenly-sized balls.

Use a rolling pin or your hands to roll out each piece of dough to a six-inch round. If desired, poke a hole in the center of the fry bread for a more even frying experience. (See notes 2.) 

Fry the dough. Line a sheet pan with a paper towels. Heat a large deep skillet or a frying pan with about two inches of oil. Heat the oil to 350°F. Once the oil is hot, add the dough, one at a time, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. 

Remove the fried dough to the prepared wire rack and fry the remaining dough.

Fry bread is best served hot. Enjoy!
