Fry Bread Recipe

Last week, I posted a children’s book roundup which you can find HERE. One of the books we got was Fry Bread. We were reading the book together and it got us craving Bannok, which is a recipe from Carey’s grandmother. Liv had so much fun getting involved in the process, which prompted me to take a few photos and today I want to share the recipe with you!

This is a recipe Carey grew up eating and we will continue to make this recipe for our kids and generations to come as a reminder of Carey’s grandmother and their heritage. This book not only inspired a delicious treat, but sparked some great conversations between Carey and Liv.

ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cup of white flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons shortening

  • 1 ½ cup of water

inSTRUCTIONS

  1. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

  2. Mix your shortening into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter. This will allow you to cut your ingredients into fine crumbs.

  3. Create a well in the dry ingredients and add your water.

  4. Knead your dough on a hard surface for about ten seconds. Your dough will remain softer the less you knead it, so be sure to keep it short.

  5. Fry your bread up and enjoy with your loved ones!

We like to mix in raisins to give our fry bread a little sweetness, but you can also choose to mix in cheese. It makes a great snack or a delicious side for dinner.

Much Love,
