Fry Bread

Cultural Context

Fry bread is a traditional Native American dish that originated in the 19th century, particularly among the Navajo people. It was created as a result of forced relocation and is now a symbol of resilience and cultural identity. Fry bread is often served at gatherings and celebrations, reflecting its importance in Native American culture.

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup lukewarm water
oil for frying

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour offers more nutrients and fiber.

oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier due to its monounsaturated fats.

1

Start by adding 2 tablespoons of sugar to a bowl.

2

Add 1 cup of lukewarm water and mix.

3

It has to be lukewarm water, because if it's too hot it'll fry your yeast and if it's too cold it won't activate.

4

Add 2 cups of flour to the mixture and stir everything together.

5

Let the mixture sit for 2 hours.

6

After resting, divide the dough into pieces.

7

Here's a quick little tip to know when your oil is ready: get a wooden spoon and dip it into your pot. If it bubbles, then it is ready.

8

Fry both sides of the dough until golden brown.
