Season 2 | How to cook fry bread home and on a budget.

Life is getting so expensive these days, and everyday costs are creeping up - whether it’s bills, gas or kai - it ain’t easy out here.
Here’s a cheap recipe from Aunty Trish to help feed your flat or whānau.
Fry bread isn’t very traditional but it is definitely a well known Māori kai.
There are many different ways to eat this fluffy, crispy, pillowy goodness.
Smother it with some butter and drizzle with golden syrup for a sweet treat, fill it with some creamed Pāua for a pocket of deliciousness or have it as a side dish with your Oven Hāngī. Get creative with it.
We looked for the cheapest ingredients we could find and all together the cost for making Fry Bread came to a whopping $8.37 - with all these ingredients you can make a few batches.
Most of the ingredients are household staples too so it could even be a lot cheaper if you already have the ingredients.
Ingredients:
2 cups Plain Flour
2 tablespoons Dry Active Yeast
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 cup of lukewarm water
250ml cooking oil
