Indian Fry Bread

    I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner the other day before running off to work. I needed something simple, but yummy. So, once again I explored my cupboards to figure out what I had to work with. I ended up making my own version of Indian fry bread.

    First I made my Indian fry bread, which is really simple:

*3 cups of flour (I used whole wheat flour because it's better for you, but you can use whatever you have)

*1 tbs baking powder

*1/2 tsp salt

*1 1/2 cups of water

*Oil for frying (I used olive oil)

    My toppings: 

*Onion

*Mushroom

*Peppers

*Tomato

*Tomato sauce

*Parsley

*Garlic powder

*Onion powder

*Salt

*Pepper

*Basil

 

Combine all the ingredients together and put it in the fridge for about half an hour. While you are waiting grab some vegetables. You can use whatever you want. I used mushroom, onion, peppers and tomato's.

After you have chopped up your veggies, simply put them in a frying pan with some olive oil (or whatever oil you choose to use), and wait for them to get nice and tender.

Whenever you are ready to put your vegetables in the frying pan, get your dough out as well, so everything ends up done at the same time. Split your dough in half, make two balls and then flatten them out out bit. Now   they can be dropped into the heated oil. 

 

Let them in the pan until they get brown.They are big, so unless you have a giant frying pan you will have to do one at a time.

When it's done frying, sprinkle on some spices. I used-onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley.

While your veggies ares till in the frying pan, get out some tomato sauce. It can be pizza sauce, pasta sauce, crushed tomato's, or whatever you have, and put it in with the veggies to cook. When it's all cooked, take it out and pour over your fry bread.

Now top it off with some more spices! I just used the same ones that I had put on the bread after it was done frying.

In the end, you have a delicious meal for two. They were huge though, so if you want to feed more people you can make the balls smaller so they feed more.
