HOW TO MAKE INDIAN FRY BREAD
Bread:
Step 1: Place the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well and pour into the warm water. Using your hands, mix well until it forms. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before breaking the dough into small balls.
Step 2: Into half-inch, thick circles that are around 6-inches in diameter, roll the dough.
Step 3: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Once hot, add the dough ball and fry until all sides are golden. Transfer to a paper towel when done and set aside.
Topping:
Step 4: Place the soaked beans in a crockpot and cover them with water. Set to cook for 4 to 6 hours on low until tender. Add about 2 to 3 slices of chopped bacon to the crockpot 2 hours before the beans are done.
Step 5: In the meantime, cook 1 pound of hamburger.
Step 6: Add the hamburger to the cooked beans, then spread them on top of your desired toppings.
Step 7: Serve the Indian Fry Bread immediately. Enjoy!
Tips:
I do not recommend frying the fry bread ahead. They are best to serve right out of the fryer.
If desired, you can make the dough in advance. Simply store them in a plastic wrap and tightly cover them. Keep them in the fridge overnight. When ready to use, let the dough sit on the counter, then proceed with the recipe.
