Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 3/4 cup warm water and 2 tbsp vegetable oil, mixing until dough forms. Knead on floured surface for 2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Divide dough into 8 portions, roll each into a ball, then flatten into 1/4-inch thick circles on a floured surface.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (350°F). Fry each circle for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed.
  4. Step 4: While frybread cooks, combine 1 cup mixed berries, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan. Simmer 10 minutes until berries break down and compote thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot frybread topped with warm berry compote for a genuine taste of tradition.
