Description
Crispy, chewy sourdough fry bread made with discard or active starter. A skillet-fried favorite that brings big flavor with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
1 cup sourdough discard (or fed starter)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plain yogurt or milk
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Neutral oil for frying (like avocado or canola)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine sourdough discard, flour, yogurt, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
2. Let dough rest for 30 minutes, covered.
3. Divide into 4–6 portions and roll each into a 1/4-inch thick round.
4. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
5. Fry one or two rounds at a time until bubbly and golden, about 2–3 minutes per side.
6. Remove to paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm.
Notes
Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Freeze leftovers and reheat in oven or skillet. Customize with herbs, cheese, or cinnamon sugar.
