This fry bread is soft, dense, and amazing with cinnamon sugar.
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.
