Cinnamon Sugar Fry Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together.
• Add the water and knead the dough until soft.
• Roll the dough until 1/4 inch thick, then cut out rounds 4 inches in diameter.
• Fry the bread in 2 to 3 inches of hot oil until puffed and browned on both sides.
• Serve with honey, or powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in cold water and vegetable oil until dough comes together into a ball.
• Set dough on a floured surface. Pinch off ten pieces the size of golf balls, roll into balls, and flatten each into a round. Make a small hole in the center of each round.
• Fill a deep skillet with oil to 3/4 inch; heat over medium-high heat. Add dough rounds in batches and fry until golden brown, about 20 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a large bowl and stir in the sugar, half of the cinnamon, and salt. Mix together and then add the oil. Once combined, slowly add the water, a little at a time, and mix with your hands until a soft dough forms, (you may not need all of the water).
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and bounces back when poked with a finger, about 5 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll out into 1/4-inch thick disks. Let rest while you make the orange honey syrup.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oranges with the syrup and toss to coat with the butter. When the butter starts to brown just a bit, remove the pan from the heat and add the orange liqueur and the remaining cinnamon. Pour the honey over the oranges and heat just until the honey starts to foam, about 3 minutes.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a large cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F. Add the dough disks to the hot oil, in batches, until they are golden and have puffed up, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
• Cut the fry bread in quarters and arrange on a platter. Pour the orange mixture over the top and garnish with a generous amount of powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray the inside (bottom and sides) of 2 loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. I used 9"x5"x3" pans. Set pans aside.
• In a small mixing bowl, prepare the brown sugar cinnamon filling and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• In a separate mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the creamed butter/sugar mixture while mixing on a low speed. Combine until just blended (be sure to not overmix).
• Pour 1 1/2 cups of the batter into the bottom of each pan (should be about 1/4 of the batter in each pan).
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the brown sugar filling in each pan on top of the batter.
• Top with another 1 1/2 cups of batter in each pan, then divide and sprinkle the remaining brown sugar filling on the batter in each pan.
• Bake for 55-65 minutes (start checking it around 55 minutes) until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf pan comes out clean.
• Let the bread cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes and then remove from pans and let them completely cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients for the dough in a bowl and add the milk. Mix with slightly floured hands until dough is formed. Knead dough for 5 minutes with slightly floured hands. Let rest dough for about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven (480°F, 250°C). Put the baking tray into the oven. So it will be heated up, too.
• On a slightly floured working plat form roll out the dough with a rolling pin. It should be thin (as thinner you roll it as crispier it will get during baking). Place the dough on baking paper (size of the baking tray).
• Mix egg yolk and milk. Brush the dough with this mixture.
• Mix brown sugar, grounded cinnamon and grounded cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the dough with this mixture.
• Put dough (on baking paper) on the baking tray in the oven and bake for about 5 - 10 minutes. The bread should be done within 5 minutes and will be soft. If you like it more crispier let it bake for up to 10 minutes. During baking the bread will develop several "bubbles".
• Take the cinnamon flat bread out of the oven and let cool on a cooling rack. Cut into pieces and serve.
• NOTE (28 April 2006): you can omit the cayenne pepper, if you don't like it. But I would recommend it, because that spicy taste goes well together with cinnamon. If you are hesitant, just try it with a pinch of cayenne pepper first (I added this note after BestTeenChef has reviewed the recipe. Thanks for the comment).
