Native American Fry Bread

 

We finally made our fry bread! I ended up using a different recipe than I originally posted because I forgot the dough had to rest 2 hours and did not manage my time properly today. So I used Mom's Navajo Tacos and Indian Fry Bread recipe over at Cooking Classy since their dough only needed a 5-10 minute rest time. I would love to try the recipe from Stay at Home Chef one day and see how it compares!

I feel like I should make a confession before I go any further. I hate frying! I find it too time consuming and hate having all the frying oil to dispose of! The only times I find myself frying is when we're trying out recipes from cultures we're learning about like this fry bread, the tostadas and platanos we had last month, and beignets when we "visited" New Orleans.
