Quick Skillet Fry Bread

Quick Skillet Fry Bread delivers crisp, golden edges with a soft, fluffy center thanks to a simple baking powder dough. Lightly salty and perfect for soaking up sweet toppings like honey, jam, or syrup, it’s just as good beside a savory breakfast plate. Serve warm for a comforting treat any time of day.

Quick Skillet Fry Bread
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), making sure it is at least 1 inch deep.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add water gradually until a ball forms and the dough no longer sticks to your hands, about 5 minutes; you may not need all the water.

  3. 3

    Pull off plum-sized portions of dough and press them into 1/2-inch-thick disks.

  4. 4

    Fry the dough pieces in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes, then drain on paper towels or napkins before serving.
