Gluten Free Fry Bread
This Gluten Free Fry Bread recipe creates fluffy and golden fry bread, perfect for sharing and indulging during fall festivities.
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it's a blend that contains xanthan gum)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- oil Oil for frying (such as vegetable or coconut oil) Use for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture forms a soft dough. If the dough appears too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour until it reaches the right consistency.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes, just until smooth.
Shaping and Frying
- Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to create discs about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1-2 inches of oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough in; it should sizzle immediately.
- Carefully place the flattened dough discs into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fry bread and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve your Gluten Free Fry Bread warm, topped with your favorite flavors like honey, jam, or hearty chili.
Notes
Tips for Success: Don’t overwork the dough to avoid a tough texture. Keep the oil temperature consistent to ensure even cooking. Consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for seasonal flavors.
