How to Make Fried Bread
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually pour in 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, stirring constantly until a soft dough forms. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve a soft, but not sticky consistency.
- The dough will be quite soft.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few times (about 5-6 times).
- Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut into rounds or diamond shapes.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the fried bread pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5-6 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
- Remove the fried bread from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately and enjoy!
