First, Newlin mixes 7 cups of Blue Bird flour and approximately 2 ½ handfuls of dry milk in a bowl. Next, she adds a few spoonfuls of baking powder to make the bread extra fluffy. Then she tosses in some salt for flavor.
Newlin then adds water and mixes all the dry ingredients into a dough. Finally, she flattens the dough into flat circles before frying until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Flattening the dough is an art form in itself and a crucial step that can make or break your fry bread. If you’re looking for tips to effectively press the dough, TikToker Erin Tapahe, @tapahe (Navajo), has a video that breaks down the best way to tackle this essential technique.
