INDIAN FRY BREAD
Many Native Americans have a recipe for Fry Bread. This one listed is not ours. We have perfected our own and we hold ingredients that make ours special. One of those is tinpsula. This is a food widely used by many Native Indian tribes, and was one of the primary foods used by the plains Indians. Although tinpsula makes our bread different, there is much more than that that goes into our processes of Fry Bread.

- Heat oil to 350 degrees in a frying pan or kettle. Lightly flour surface and pat and roll out baseball size pieces of dough.

Dough is done in about 3 minutes depending on oil temperature and thickness of dough.

Tips for Making Perfect Fry Bread:
- Use the right flour. All-purpose flour is the best choice for fry bread, as it produces a light and fluffy texture. You can also use bread flour, which will give you a chewier fry bread.
- Make sure the dough is the right consistency. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not too sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If the dough is too dry, add more water.
- Let the dough rest before frying. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the fry bread more tender. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Fry the bread in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan with a few inches of oil. Fry the bread until it is golden brown on both sides.
- Drain the bread on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the fry bread warm. Fry bread is best served warm, with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or fruit.
