The Art of Making Fry Bread Dough
Sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl. Gradually stir in the milk until you achieve a workable dough consistency. If necessary, add more flour to ensure the dough can be handled easily.
Kneading and Shaping the Dough
Dust your work surface with flour and knead the dough with floured hands until it becomes smooth. Break off pieces roughly the size of your fist and shape them into flat disks. The thickness and form of these disks influence their texture when fried; Indian tacos typically require flatter disks with slight indentations on both sides to accommodate toppings.
The Deep-Frying Process Explained
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to approximately 375°F (190°C). Carefully place each disk into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown on both sides—this should take about five minutes per piece. Once cooked, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
This recipe yields around eight to ten small fry bread pieces or five larger ones suitable for Indian tacos.
