Tips
- Fry bread is best served immediately out of the fryer. It’s not a good idea to fry them in advance.
- However, you can make the dough ahead of time if you wish. Place it in a plastic wrap and cover tightly then store in the refrigerator overnight. When it’s time to prepare, set in on the counter to warm up, then proceed with the directions.
