Cooking Lesson: Frybread

Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to a bowl.

Add 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together using a fork.

Add 1 cup of warm water to the dry ingredients and mix with the fork until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, wetting hands to prevent sticking.

Place the kneaded dough into a clean bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 8 equal sections, rolling each into golf ball-sized pieces.

Flatten each piece into roughly 6-inch discs on a lightly floured surface and set aside on a floured plate, covering with aluminum foil.

Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the oil reaches 350-360 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry each disc in the hot oil until golden brown on each side, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Once fried, place the frybread on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Keep the frybread warm in the oven or microwave until ready to serve.
