Description

This Indian Frybread recipe is simple, traditional, and endlessly versatile. Perfect for sweet or savory toppings, it’s quick to prepare and absolutely delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water (or milk)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Optional toppings: honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or taco toppings.

Instructions

  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water or milk to form a soft dough.
  • Knead dough on a floured surface for 2–3 minutes, then let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 6–8 portions, roll into discs, and fry in oil heated to 350°F until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve with sweet or savory toppings.

Notes

  • Resting the dough ensures better texture.
  • Adjust the thickness of the discs for varied results—thicker for chewy frybread, thinner for crispy frybread.
