Gluten free blend I use from Petite Allergy Treats
Whisk together gf flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add almost 3/4c. of water and stir until combined. The dough will be fairly wet and sticky.
Preheat extra light tasting olive oil to 375° F in a deep fryer or a deep skillet on the stove.
While it's heating, lay out a piece of parchment paper on the counter and dust with 1-2 Tb of gf flour. Scoop out the dough onto the parchment paper. Sprinkle another 1-2 Tb of gf flour on top of the dough, then gently flatten the dough with your hand until it's about 1/4" thick. Cut into rounds or squares.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels, then set a cooling rack on top. Set aside.
When the oil is heated to 375° F, use a spatula to pick up a round, gently dust off the extra flour, then use tongs to place the dough round into the fryer. Fry for 1 1/2- 2 min on each side, or until lightly golden. Use tongs to pick up the fry bread, let the extra oil drip off, then set on prepared cooling rack.
Repeat with all dough rounds.
Put cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar in a bowl or a brown paper bag. Add the fry bread after it's cooled for a min and coat it in the sugar by flipping it over in the bowl or shaking it up in the bag.
I am SO excited about this fry bread because it's made with so few ingredients. It's a super fun treat, kind of like my low histamine donuts, but it doesn't have yeast or eggs, so it is truly very low histamine! In my opinion this is a good toddler bread (you can serve it without any sugar) or dessert because of the small amount of ingredients in it.
From the time she was 6-11 months Rosie only tolerated 5 foods, so I had to get very creative with what she could eat. From 12-18 months she could eat more foods, but we had to bring in one ingredient at a time, which was difficult with baked goods. I wish I had tried this recipe back then! She's a huge fan of it.
Recipe adapted from my mom's fry bread.

Just made these. They are awesome!! Is it possible to freeze leftovers?
Yes, absolutely! I froze them in a bag with parchment paper between the piecespecially. Warm one up in the microwave for like 10 seconds, or you could try a toaster oven too.
