Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
-
Gradually add about 1/2 cup of water to the dry ingredients, mixing well. Add a little more water if needed to form a stiff, cohesive dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Cover the dough loosely and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
-
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
-
Use a knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into squares, strips, or circles.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
Carefully place the dough pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Remove the fried bread from the oil and drain on paper towels or brown paper bags.
-
Immediately drizzle warm honey in a thin stream over the hot bread.
-
Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired and serve warm.

Note
This recipe is a variation of traditional fry bread, incorporating honey for a sweeter profile. It is not the traditional savory version often served with stews.
For best results, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the dough to prevent it from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
You can adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference. For a thicker drizzle, warm the honey slightly in a microwave.
If you prefer a sweeter dough, you can increase the sugar in the dough mixture slightly.
Leftover fry bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispiness before re-drizzling with honey.
