Notes
Tips and Tricks
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the dough. If it's not hot enough, the fry bread will absorb too much oil and become greasy. If the dough is sticky, dust your hands and work surface with flour. You can add flavorings to the dough, such as herbs or spices, to make it more interesting. Serve with toppings like butter, jam, honey, cinnamon sugar, or savory spreads.Nutrition
