Author Notes
Instead of chips and dip, I like to make this combo for parties. But then again, how can you not like fried bread combined with aioli? —Erin Jeanne McDowell
Ingredients
- Smoked Paprika Aioli
-
6
cloves roasted garlic (30 g)
-
1
heaping tablespoon lemon zest
-
1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard (12 g)
-
2
egg yolks (114 g)
-
1 cup
extra virgin olive oil (237 g)
-
2 teaspoons
smoked paprika (6 g)
-
salt and lots of freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Frybread
-
2 cups
all purpose flour (240 g)
-
1 tablespoon
baking powder (12 g)
-
1 teaspoon
salt (4 g)
-
1/4 cup
butter, melted and cooled slightly (57 g)
-
1/2 cup
warm water, or as needed (108 g)
-
oil, as needed for frying
-
coarse salt, as needed for garnish
Directions
- Smoked Paprika Aioli
-
Make a smooth paste from the garlic, lemon zest, and mustard. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, and whisk in the egg yolks.
-
Gradually add the olive oil to the yolk mixture in a thin, even stream - whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until all the oil has been incorporated and the aioli is light and fluffy.
-
Season the aioli with the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
- Frybread
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and add the warm butter and water. Mix to combine, the mixture will look like a shaggy mass. Knead the dough until it is smooth, 1-2 minutes.
-
Divide the dough into about 16 pieces (this makes for mini flatbreads to give everyone one or two...you can also make larger ones or cut them into strips, etc.), and round the dough slightly. Cover with a damp paper towel and let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil for frying.
-
When the dough has rested and the oil is hot, fry the breads until it is golden brown and slightly puffed up on both sides.
-
Drain on absorbent paper towels and garnish with coarse salt. Serve warm with the aioli.
I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!
