How to Make Fry Bread

Those indulgent raised, glazed donuts are fried. You can do the same with any dough. Serve them hot with a little butter and syrup or honey and you will have a treat that the kids will clamor for.

Here?s how to make it:

1. Mix the bread as instructed from your favorite recipe or mix and let the dough rise.
2. Instead of forming loaves, roll or pat the dough on a counter until it is about 1/2-inch thick.
3. Slice the dough into wedges, separate the pieces, and let them rise again until twice as thick.
4. Heat a pan of oil until hot and slip the dough pieces two or three at a time into the hot oil. When one side is browned, turn the dough over. If the oil is hot enough, the dough should absorb little oil.
5. When done, drain the fried bread on paper towels.
