sugar

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is heart-healthy and flavorful.

In a mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix them together.

Make a well in the mixture and add canola oil.

Add about 3/4 cups of water and stir until it comes together as a dough.

Adjust the consistency by adding more water if too dry or more flour if too wet.

Divide the dough into 8 to 10 balls, each about the size of a golf ball.

Flatten each ball into a disc and make a small hole in the center to keep it flat while frying.

Heat a skillet with a little over half an inch of canola oil until hot.

Flatten each dough disc again in your hand and place them in the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown on both sides, then remove and drain on a paper towel-lined sheet.

Top the fry bread with your choice of toppings, such as taco ingredients, dessert toppings, or sharp cheddar.
