Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon plus 6 cups vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup powdered sugar, as optional topping
- 1 cup honey, as optional topping
Directions
In the bowl of a food processor, mix the dry ingredients. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the oil and the water, and process until smooth. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until the dough is just elastic and comes together, being careful not to over work. Shape the dough into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and roll into a 7-inch circle, making as thin as possible. Poke a hole in the center with the handle of a wooden spoon or your finger.
In a large saute pan or deep fryer, heat the 6 cups of oil to 360 degrees F. Slip the rounds 1 at a time into the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes, turning once with a long-handled spoon. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining dough.
Sprinkle the fried bread with powdered sugar and drizzle with honey, as desired, and serve.

Made it just last night for Sunday dinner with family.We put Chile,cheese,lettuce,onions&roasted chiles with salsa on them.The fry bread was a very good base to build it all up on.As you can see in the recipe there is not much to it for the bread but you do have to put bit of work int making it. I think next time I will add some corn meal or even some toasted ground pine nuts to it.
