Gluten Free Fry Bread - First recipe


I use Tom Sawyer Gluten-Free Flour for ALL my baking/cooking. All recipes are made with this flour which contains xanthan gum and unflavored gelatin - if you are using a different blend or a combination of different flours/starches, you'll want to add binder as needed.


Gluten-Free Fry Bread
2 cups flour
1 egg
2 Tbl vegetable oil
1 Tbl baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup powdered milk
3/4 cup warm water (+/-)
vegetable oil for frying

Pour approx 2" of oil into a saucepan and heat over medium heat.

Mix flour, baking powder, salt until combined. Beat egg, add oil and add to flour mixture. Add 1/2 cup water and stir with a fork, adding the remainder of the water if needed. Dough should be soft and somewhat sticky yet firm enough to hold shape.

Form into pool ball sized balls and let rest for 5 minutes under wax paper or paper towel.

Drop a small piece into oil to test the heat - it should quickly bubble and turn golden brown within 20 seconds or so.

Pat each ball into flat rounds, approx 6 inches across and drop into the hot oil. Let cook 45-60 seconds and the flip over. Bread is done when it's golden brown.

Drain on paper towels and enjoy. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a sweet treat or top and serve as tacos.

Enjoy!
