How To Make Frybread In Just A Few Minutes
If short on time you can skip the homemade dough and use Rhodes rolls or Pillsbury biscuits if you’re looking for a quicker option. My mom made it this way growing up and it’s super easy. All you do is let them rise and then roll out each individual roll and fry.
If you aren’t planning on enjoying the fry bread right away, you can keep it warm in the oven until you’re ready to serve.
Simply place them on a baking sheet in the oven at 175°F. This will keep them nice and warm, without drying them out and making the outsides too crispy.
Authentic Indian Fry Bread
This easy fry bread recipe is perfect to use for a quick night dinner of Navajo tacos or you can eat them as a sweet dessert similar to my beignets recipe. We love to serve it both ways. Serve however you prefer.
It’s a Native American bread that originated in the Navajo Nation. It’s enjoyed all over the US and especially in the Southwest.
In different regions you’ll also hear this called fried dough, fry dough (bannock), fried bread, doughboys, scones, pop overs or elephant ears. Sopapilla are similar but puffier and in the shape of a rectangle.
Fry Bread With Cinnamon Honey Butter
Though similar with their light fried texture, their is a difference between the two. Fry bread are smaller, thicker and the dough is more chewy, while elephant ears are bigger and more airy inside. Elephant ears are traditionally only topped with cinnamon and sugar, too.
This recipe is best when it is fresh but you can prepare the dough ahead of time. Store your dough in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or in a Ziploc bag up to 2 days. You can also flash freeze your dough balls. Once your dough balls are frozen, place each of them separately into a freezer safe bag. When ready to use, thaw overnight in the fridge, bring to room temperature and proceed with frying.
Other bread recipes we love to make at home instead of purchasing include this white bread recipe, pita bread recipe, naan bread and french bread.

Here you will find easy family-friendly recipes for every occasion.Fry Bread is such a special treat! Right when it comes out of the hot skillet, you can literally put anything on it. When I was growing up, melted oozing butter with sprinkled cinnamon and sugar was always my favorite.
I’ve been making this Fry Bread all through the last 25 plus(!) years for my boys. (Yep, that’s a long time of making fry bread!)
Traditional Indian Fry Bread
Heat the milk and butter in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir until the butter has melted all of the way. (Or add another 30 seconds.) Allow the milk mixture to cool to the touch.
Once the butter has melted and the milk has cooled (to the touch); add to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the sugar, salt, and yeast. Add in the beaten egg.
Note: I used my Kitchen Aid with the dough hook to make this. Low speed. You could easily use a large wooden spoon to mix it all together and then knead on a floured surface when it gets too hard to stir. That’s how I did it before the Kitchen Aid era.
Fry Bread — Wellforculture
You may use all-purpose flour. But the texture will be a little different. I prefer to use bread flour in this recipe.
You are going to use a total of 4 to 4 and 1/2 cups of flour total. Do not add it all at once. It also depends on the climate you live in. I live in a very dry state. But, when I make this on a rainy day, I may have to use a little more flour.
Shake in another half of cup of flour (or more). But only shake in a tablespoon at a time. You may or may or not need the last half a cup of flour that you have left. But you want the dough to be able to
Fry Bread Recipe
It is ready to form a ball and put into a large greased bowl. Cover with a greased piece of plastic wrap. Put into a warm spot to rise. You want it to at least double in size.
Tip:I always like to set my dough inside of the microwave– a draft-free area.. I put a small bowl of boiling water in the microwave along with the dough. It will be done rising in about 30 minutes. Doing it this way cuts your time in half!
Tear off a piece of dough and cover the bowl back up. Stretch the piece of dough out a little at a time. But not too thin… and not too thick.
The Quest For The Perfect Roti
Carefully lay the piece of dough into the heated oil. Don’t walk away… only cook it for about 1 minute on the first side. With your tongs, move it around just a little bit. You’ll start to notice the dough puff up. It’s okay if you get an air bubble in parts of the fry bread.
Carefully turn over with your tongs. Cook for about another minute. This side tends to cook a little faster. So remember, do not get distracted and walk away from the pan. You know I always tell you these things from experience.
Have a large plate (I use a baking dish) to set the paper towels in for the fry bread to drain all the excess oil off.
Open Fire Fry Bread
Funny thing is, we didn’t always call it Fry Bread. In fact, here in Utah (and Idaho) it is also called “scones”. That’s what we called it growing up. So, as to not confuse my own children when I’d make the “real” sweet scones (which are also called “biscuits” here), we started calling this Fry Bread…like the rest of the country. Sounds a little crazy, I know.
Enjoy a big piece of Fry Bread either on the sweet or savory side. You pick! (My kids love these with taco meat with all the fixings.)

Frying Pan Bread (skillet Flatbread)
I can honestly say this recipe is a dream come true! It’s not only super easy to make, but if you’re a bread loving carb-a-vore like myself…the only thing better than freshly baked homemade bread…is Fried Bread!
What. Could. Be. Better? Oh, I don’t know…maybe slathering it with lots of butter and then drizzling it with loads of 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!
