Really good! Where I'm from we have this as well but we call it "fry bake" and this is a great recipe for it!!! One thing to note, let your dough sit for a few minutes It will form better air bubbles when you fry it!

I have tried several different recipes for fry bread in the past. I can stop looking I finally found the one:) It reminds me of my Grandmas, that the highest compliment I can give. I followed the recipe exactly but used a trick from another recipe when I patted out my dough. It is very sticky so slather your hands with oil prior to patting out the dough, Happy Frying.

Loved it! Was looking for something that would be similar to Taco Bell Chalupa, and it was great!! No more overpriced Baja Beef Chalupas with very little meat!! 8~) I've tried Fry Bread before, and it go well, this worked perfectly. Thanks so much for posting!

Incredible! This tastes like the real thing and is very easy to make. I mixed mine in a bread machine for extra smooth dough, but that might have been unnecessary.
