Easy Fry Bread

One of our family favorites for football games!


4 cups of all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups of water (plus more if needed)
vegetable oil for frying

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and water into a bowl.  Mix until well combined.  Add a tablespoon or more of water if the dough seems dry.  Pour mixture into a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for at least 20 minutes.  

Add vegetable oil to an oversize stock pot, placed on a large burner. Heat to 350 degrees ad then reduce heat to low, continuously making adjustments to keep the temperature near 350 degrees.  

Oil rolling pin and work surface (a silicone mad works great) and roll golf ball sized pieces of the dough into 1/4 inch thick discs.  Poke a hole in the center of the disc with your finger.  Gently drop the disc in the oil.  Fry for 60-90 seconds, and flip when light golden brown.  Repeat and  then remove from the oil.  Place in a pan or basket lined with paper towel to drain.

Serve with refried beans, taco meat, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and salsa.  Also tastes great with honey and powdered sugar!
