Navajo Fry Bread

Navajo Fry Bread is a delightful, crispy yet soft bread that is traditionally enjoyed as a staple in Native American cuisine. This Paleo version is made with almond flour and coconut flour, offering a healthier twist to the classic treat.

Ingredients

• almond flour - 1 cup
• coconut flour - 1/4 cup
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• water - 1/4 cup
• coconut oil (for frying) - 1/2 cup

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for a minute until smooth, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape each into a flat disc about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
6. Fry each disc for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
7. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve warm, optionally topped with honey, savory toppings, or as a side.
