Ingredients
Scale
For the Fry Bread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¾–1 cup warm water
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
For the Cinnamon Honey Butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to create the dry base for the dough.
- Add Butter and Water: Pour in the melted butter and ¾ cup of warm water. Stir until the dough begins to form a ball. The dough should be moist but not sticky. Add more water one tablespoon at a time if necessary.
- Rest the Dough: Cover the dough and allow it to rest at room temperature for one hour to develop texture and flavor.
- Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a wide skillet to a depth of 2 inches. Heat over medium-high until the oil reaches 375°F (190°C), using a thermometer for accuracy.
- Prepare Dough for Frying: While oil heats, pinch off tablespoon-sized dough balls and roll each out on a lightly floured surface to approximately ¼ inch thickness. Stretch gently with hands if needed.
- Fry the Bread: Fry the rolled dough in batches of 2 or 3, cooking about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the fry bread and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Sprinkle the fry bread with powdered sugar and serve immediately, accompanied by the cinnamon honey butter or your choice of topping.
- Make Cinnamon Honey Butter: In a bowl, beat together softened butter, honey, cinnamon, and coarse salt with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate leftovers for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is correct to avoid greasy or undercooked bread.
- The dough must be moist but not sticky; adjust water gradually.
- Freshly made cinnamon honey butter enhances the flavor but can be substituted with other spreads.
- Fry bread is best served immediately to retain its crispiness.
- Store any leftover cinnamon honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
