This delicious fry bread recipe is a perfect dinner, topped with taco ingredients like Guacamole and Salsa, or a sweet dessert, sprinkled with powdered sugar!
This tasty main dish is also called Navajo Tacos. It originates from southwestern Native Americans as a result of being relocated from Arizona to New Mexico, and using cooking staples given to them by the government.
Over the years, fry bread has become a unique cultural symbol. They are also commonly referred to as Indian Fry Bread or Pop Overs. Lots of names for lots of goodness!. Source
For Many Native Americans, Fry Bread Is Tasty, Nostalgic—and Complicated
Savory. Everyone in my family eats them a bit differently. We usually serve them up with cooked hamburger and beans, and let everyone add their own toppings: tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
Sweet. Others in my family pour honey over them, or slather on butter and jam. A few also like to add powdered sugar and just eat it as is.
If you want to keep things simple, enjoy it like many of those in my family and just add powdered sugar to it.
Fry Bread Recipe: How To Make The Tasty Native American Staple
Fry bread is best when fresh, so we don’t recommend making it ahead of time. However, you can mix up the dough and store it in the fridge or freezer until it’s time to fry.
Fry. When you’re ready to fry, remove the desired number of balls. Leave each ball in the baggie and thaw in the fridge overnight.
About 30 minutes before fry time, remove the dough from the baggie and let the dough come to room temperature. Fry according to recipe directions.

Fry bread or Navajo Tacos are crispy pillows of dough with a soft inside. Complete it by adding sweet or savory toppings!
Perfect frying. Make sure your oil stays at a consistent temperature of about 350°F. If the temp is too low, the bread will be tough. If it is too hot, the outside will burn before the inside cooks through. Soak the beans. To lessen the amount of gas in the beans, soak dried beans in a large bowl of water for 8–12 hours (or overnight). Drain and rinse beans before use. Serving suggestions. We feel this fry bread is best served with beans, but for a sweeter version, you can also skip the savory toppings and serve it with powdered sugar and/or honey.

I had never had Native American Fry Bread until we moved to Utah. It’s a huge favorite at County Fair’s, and the local “Pow Wow” event held each year by the local Native Americans, here in our beautiful State.
A true deep immediate abiding love! I love bread of any kinds. I try to keep our relationship a little distant, otherwise…one of us would blow-up like the Good Year Blimp!
Indian Fry Bread Recipe
I assumed Fry bread would be difficult. It’s not…in fact it’s pretty easy to make and only takes a few minutes to whip up! There are multiple versions of fry bread, from yeast to sweet breads. Everyone has an opinion about this recipe, and what is “original” or “traditional”. No disrespect is intended. This is the recipe I found works best for me and is delicious.
This recipe is great because it only requires five basic pantry ingredients. You’ll be creating your own love story in no time.
In a medium size bowl add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix together with a wire whisk.
Gabubu Bread Recipe
Add 1/2 cup milk and 2 Tablespoons milk. Make sure you use a liquid measuring cup when measuring liquids. There is a difference.
The original recipe calls for just 1/2 cup of milk. I found that makes the dough too dry! So adding two extra tablespoons of milk creates the perfect dough! This dough will form easily by just mixing it with a rubber spatula. I like to use a rubber spatula because the sticky dough comes off it quickly as apposed to a wooden spoon.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. I love using my dough disc. It works perfectly for kneading doughs and rolling out pastries.
What Is Fry Bread? Plus, How To Make & Eat The Native American Classic
The secret to the perfect Fry Bread, I’ve found, is to only knead it a few times. I scrape the dough onto my floured dough disc, then I gently roll it around on the flour to make sure it is well coated with flour. Then I gently knead it four or five times until it’s just easy enough to work with. Pat the dough into a rectangle.
Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This will help prevent it from being so sticky. You can opt to skip this step if you like. Just know in advance it may be a little tricky to roll out that dough!
Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll each ball into a 1/4 inch thick disc. Using your finger or a sharp knife poke a hole into the center of each disc. This will help the bread stay flat during frying.

The success of this dish lies with making sure your oil is the right temperature! Not hot enough, and you end up with a greasy fry bread. Too hot, it will cook too quickly and be doughy in the middle.
TIP for perfect frying: If you don’t have a deep-frying thermometer, you can add a kernel of pop corn to the oil, when it pops you’re oil is ready. Popcorn pops at 350°. You can also place a wooden spoon handle in the hot oil, when bubbles gather around the stick the oil is ready for frying!
TIP: I recently discovered that deep frying anything in a large deep pot, or kettle, is less messy than using a large cast iron skillet. It not only helps keep your stove top clean…it prevents the oil from popping on you! That’s a huge win in my book.
Native American Fry Bread Recipe
Carefully place the dough disc into the hot oil, by placing the bread dough into the hot oil lying it AWAY from you! Always, always, always place items you are frying into hot oil by lying it away from you. Safety first!
Allow the bread to cook 3–4 minutes or until golden brown. Using tongs lift the fry bread and carefully turn the bread over and cook the other side. Total cook time for both sides shouldn’t exceed 4 minutes.
As the bread cooks it will bubble up. We want those bubbles! They’re crevices for butter and honey, or jam, or powder sugar, or cinnamon sugar…or…well you get the point!

Remove fried bread from the hot oil, with tongs, and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Allow to drain and cook the next fry bread.
This recipe will make four separate pieces of fry bread! If you’re feeding a larger crowd, or working on those Goodyear requirements, you may want to double this recipe.
Now it’s up to you how to serve them. You can slather ’em up with honey butter. You can serve them with jam or powder sugar. I go with that honey butter every time…it’s lip-smacking, finger licking, deliciousness!
