How to make Doughboys (Fry Bread)

[@reneebaer9929]

I just made these, because you made this look so simple & delicious. They are finished & I dusted mine with powdered sugar & I couldn’t get over how light & fluffy they were and really really good! Thanks for the video

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thanks for letting me know Renee. I'm glad you enjoyed them. -Dennis

[@Cerulean0987]

Im from Northern Maine and we called them dough boys. They are typical fair food that we enjoyed once a year when the fair came to our county. They are delicious. We ate them with all sorts of toppings including powdered sugar and cinnamon, cherry pie filling, molasses, and pizza sauce and parmesan cheese.

My mom just took some white bread dough balls and rolled them about 1/4 inch thick by about 6" round, then fried them in oil with a little butter til risen nice and browned but not quite burned. No sugar, just yummy fried bread and butter pat on top. She also called them doughboys.

[@lexconor8498]

Grew up in northern RI, doughboys were a treat at any amusement park or flea market. Cinnamon and white or confectioner's sugar were a must!

[@NOMCCBAMA]

My mother used to do the biscuit thing. She had a cutter for biscuits / donuts. She would take the insert out of the donut cutter and used it to cut the center out of the biscuits. She deep fried both and coated them with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. The center pieces were called donut holes.

My grandmother on my dads side was German she made homemade bread pretty much everyday. She made doughboys for us once when we visited her. They were slices of bread dough pan fried like a pancake then spread with butter. That's a doughboy for me!

[@elsalisa146]

She was a farmers wife. German. Living in North Dakota.

[@denisecomeau6847]

I was born in Mass. and first 10 yrs and never had these.Then moved to Maine and Mom discovered Doughboys as she learned to bake alot of bread..I am making these as I type this....yummmy!

[@wolfman011000]

My Oma made something very similar in Germany but she use to use flavoured sugars, she put the sugar in a brown bag with afew biscuits shook them, then onto a rack with a tray under it to recover any sugar dropping off Oma was frugal. She mostly used vanilla or cinnamon flavoured sugars, but also citrus zest flavoured and kirsh or rum flavoured for the adults. Thank you for all the videos take care and God bless.

[@dianakendall5115]

What a delicious biscuit your mother once shared with her family and how you are showing and telling us.

[@eilidhaylee9519]

I grew up on fried dough, I still make it to freeze, take out what I want. I stretch out the bread dough thin, fry in oil. Makes great base for sandwich bread, pizza, cinnamon sugar, or just plain melted butter served with a soup or pot of beans. This is know as Langos from Hungary.

[@mrskkrueger]

My mom always called them dough boys...I grew up in Indiana, Mom grew up here as well. Now, I make them with canned biscuits, just to save time, and I put a pat of butter in the middle, fold the dough over, and fry it in a cast iron skillet. I will try this recipe on a weekend that I have more time!!! Love all your shows here, and I learned a ton from you!!! Thank you so very much!!! I appreciate you!

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

You're welcome Mrs. Krueger. I'm glad to hear that someone is benefiting from the videos.

[@maryalove5534]

(: Like the "Pillsbury" Biscuits????? ... ☺

[@sarafriday1901]

Dough boys in NZ is a dough that are rolled in 2 balls and placed on top of our stews 20 to 30 minutes b4 the stew is fully cooked.

[@dianakendall5115]

They look so delicious and what a treat watching you tasting them…thank you

[@madamem7856]

On the Canadian prairies, these same type of fried bread are often made in a thinner elongated shape with points at each end and called "rabbit ears". It's interesting to see all the various shapes & names for fried bread depending on where you travel.

[@robarbuckle7586]

Dough boys are made in Newfoundland as well

[@lilmomma6112]

my grandmother used to make the first recipe and also called them doughboys and we are in new brunswick canada we also had them for breakfast with corn syrup no sugar it was our favorite thing for breakfast i have tried to find the recipe for years and i just happend to stumble accross this video thanks a bunch for uploading :)

[@christinemott8799]

Ty for the walk down your memory lane. I have fobd memories of Mom and I when I was.little too. Nice.

[@jackdodson1749]

I'm reading a book about the Peninsula War in Portugal (1807-1814) and they (English Troops) mention foraging to find some flour to make Dough-Boys. I came upon this searching for an explanation of what they were.

[@littlefeather6012]

Im from RI and it surprised me that not to many people are familiar with dough boys ... so thanks :)

[@JJLom777]

Or, Dels. Or, New York System weiners. Or... 😄😉😊

[@KrispyBread]

My class and I in fifth grade had to do a 6 paged typed report on a state. We drew out of a hat and I got RI! We also have to bring a food from our state. Thank you soooo much for this recipe!

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

I stumbled across your recipe and I make homemade bread just about once a week or at least every week and a half. I looked at your recipe and it looks very bread machine friendly so instead of mixing up the dough with my hands I'm going to mix the dough in my bread machine and then lay it out on the counter and finish the recipe the way you did it. I'm mixing it up now and the bread machine and I'll let you know in just a little while how it turned out. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@keywestconch8]

For many years my husband won't eat canned biscuits since I first made then from scratch. As soon as he notices what I'm doing he get really happy.

[@marienz9555]

We make similar versions of doughboys in New Zealand minus the sugar coating instead we slather them with butter and golden syrup or jam.

[@scruffy281]

I loooove these nostalgic cooking videos. I am trying as many of them as I can. Sugar, fried foods, butter be damned. I don't care. They bring back so many good memories for me. As I grew up in Texas , and still live here, I am enjoying also trying out recipes from all over the USA. It is going to be fun to try out these Doughboys from Rhode Island from the east .......they look so good!! Thanks for sharing...

[@doodlebug7349]

I live in Kansas now but born and raised in Indiana and my grandma called them dough boys! I would always beg her to make them when I would go and spend a week or two with her and Grandpa during the summer. My mommy would make them the same way your mother would and I just couldn't eat them! 😐 Oh sometimes I would help her and we would make them round with a hole in the middle just like a "real" doughnut! I miss those days! Thanks for the memories!! God Bless

[@rl4889]

Love your video

[@crochet9100]

I made these today! Everybody loved them! Thank you for the recipe. I had to use my stand mixer. Several years ago I found I had to use it to mix the flour in when making bread. I can knead well enough, but not strong enough to mix all the flour in before it gets to kneading stage. I'd never heard of doughboys till I saw your video, but they are utterly delicious!

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thanks for the positive comment Crochet. I appreciate knowing they were successful. As for the stand mixer, I agree. It makes things a lot easier when kneading bread dough.-Dennis

[@susiq4857]

When I was a kid, my Dad would buy raw dough from the local bakery and we would either fry it in olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, or fry it in vegetable oil and then roll it in sugar.

[@anitak8056]

Thank you for sharing they look delicious 😋

[@enemyofmyenemy6713]

in Louisiana they make Benyas a fried puffy dough with powered sugar dusted on them. so amazing

[@arnrocarnroc]

Great recipe! Thanks for this video. I’ve tried using the Pillsbury dough as well and it does taste like chemicals. Remarkable they even taste as great as they do when you follow their recipe.

[@mneff69]

My dad made them from a can as well but we would do it during a fish fry in the same deep fryer as the fish. Then we put them in a paper sack with sugar in it and shake them up. He would dump all fish, seafood and the biscuits on paper sacks to absorb grease. When done eating we would throw the mess in the sacks then take outside so house wouldn't smell like a fried fish lol. Thanks for your recipe and taking me back in my child hood as well. P.S. We called them sugar biscuits.

[@keylargo2001]

You want to try a new spin on this recipe. Make a Portuguese Sweet Bread and make it into dough boys. They do this in Provincetown and it is amazingly good.

[@mpkjonmyyrtimmikratgaska3247]

keylargo2001 y

[@Barneyrubble241]

we use pizza dough and fry it at lower temps in olive oil. Then dip them in powdered sugar or put a marinara sauce on them.

[@catching20]

Hit the tube harder on the counter to pop it open. Like ya mean it! Take the biscuits out, make a hole in the middle, deep or shallow fry. Put chocolate, glaze, cinnamon sugar, etc. They are only yummy while warm. Both sons have friends that still comment how good the donuts were that I always made, during sleepovers. Lol. Still makes me happy that they remember. I'm going to make yours tomorrow. Ty for taking time to do vids!

[@heatherlinton5057]

My Dad used to call stew dumpling doughnuts. He was born and raised in Edinburgh

[@sharonlatour6230]

We used to do the canned biscuits and we called them doughnuts. we'd eat them rolled in cinnamon sugar.

[@christinemott8799]

Me too

[@50hellkat2]

Great recipe. I have had them with sugar/cinnamon sprinkled on them. Yum.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

That's how I remember eating them as a kid. I agree. Yum. -Dennis

[@lmaprez7447]

Mmm looks good, can’t wait to try your recipe. Thank you for your fast and easy recipe and also well explained 👍🏼 have a wonderful day

[@AussieAngeS]

I love those doughboys that you made, they look wonderful. I grew up with zeppole, my mother made them all the time and she still does.

[@zuliecastaneda6909]

Newfoundland Canada calls them dough boys too

[@nuachick]

[@gaybeans8098]

Has any cooked them over a fire? They are really good over a fire

[@barbschaefer4929]

hi my mm called these maryanns when she made bread she would slice some offand fryit on thefrist rise we loved them thank you

[@1948tedebear]

my Czechoslovakian Grandmother use to make a sweet bread dough with additional eggs, milk, honey+sugar and add a ROUNDED TBSP of wheat gluten, same dough she used to make pugach ( potato pizza) and nut roll, she would cut and fry the left over dough for us kids and roll in sugar, I don't use the honey in my receipt.

[@DonnaKohl458]

I wish I were your neighbor, I would love to eat the treats you send them. My mom would buy frozen bread dough, thaw it and fry little balls of dough in peanut oil. We ate them with mixed honey and butter. Your recipe looks so good. I'm going to make them. Thanks for the recipe. Oh, I grew up in Ct. Now I'm in Tx.

[@grammyb5216]

You’ve gotta keep the DoughBoys coming. You could do so many over the top delicious food to go on the Fry Bread. It will sell itself easily. If I am able to get something going with Indian Fry Bread! It’s the BOMP. Enjoy living and please stay safe and healthy!

[@reneebaer9929]

I used bread flour (I wanted yo use up) and it made them really light & fluffy….

[@TM-rv5ke]

They look so easy to make, a little strawberry jam with them should do it for me😊

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thank you. And thanks for the Bill Gates comment (edited out?). I made these a little while ago and enjoyed them with butter and honey. Delicious. -Dennis

[@garland978]

That works very well with pre-made pizza dough. I remember the biscuit dough ones also. Thank you for the time travel.

[@jamesmerv]

I love this recipe, Chef please give me orignal english muffin recipe.I tried several didn't come out properly. Thanks &bye..

[@ggarl12]

[@brittanylynne7794]

i just discovered your channel; great stuff! My fiance is originally from rhode island and loves doughboys. Im from Massachusetts and never heard of doughboys or pizza strips til I met him. Always neat to discover and try new foods!

[@grammyb5216]

Help me! Im gonna do it. Say a cooks prayer for me please. Ask God to help be food taste amazing to the eater. Think I’ve still got it??? Will let y’all know how I do. 😩 These are so special and good, you can add so many wonderful ingredients to them and the Flat Bread makes even an egg with cheese taste amazing. Can hardly wait to make them. I’m also trying the Indian Fry Bread with no yeast in the mix. Thank you for teaching us 💗🙏

[@maryalove5534]

(: You can do it ... ☺😚

[@LeeEngle]

Wonder if you made them into tortillas and then fried them if they would be like Mexican bunuelos - they add cinnamon to the sugar, too

[@puck34fan]

Dough boys! I’m a Main-ah and miss them so much!

[@denisecomeau6847]

I am Mainer also! you should make them-I am right now!! Dont wait-happiness is just a bowl away...

[@jamiegerger]

those would be so good filled with fruit preserves or apple butter. then tossed in sugar.

[@beatbearrecords14]

Shout out from RI

[@annafyfe212]

In Idaho we call them scones, or wind bellies

[@robertmosher381]

[@josephshattuck5210]

You can always add more but you can't take it out

[@josephshattuck5210]

Just saying the traditional way is put him in a brown paper bag. And shake them that's the New England way

[@salsaslife362]

[@robertpieper1438]

My Step-Mother used to make these and I have looked long and hard to find them. Today I found them via your video! Thank you! They are just like I remember. Oh and I thought I should mention I grew up in Ohio but guess where she was from? Connecticut and Rhode Island! 😋

[@jennyclark2950]

I grew up on the bread . IT is delicious .

[@jennyclark2950]

Fry bread that is .

[@arlogittings9827]

I see a lot of doughboys in stews and soups, I am wondering if it might not have originally been dough bouy. . .

[@jaybirdone]

What my Mom would make for us when young in a very poor household - still a famous recipe to me.

[@CinemaSeven]

I've been looking for a recipe like this, but are they similar to beignets? I think cinnamon sugar would be a good combination to sweeten it up.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

They're similar, but not quite the same. Beignets I think are made with eggs and/or butter in the dough. Cinnamon sugar is a common way to sweeten these up before eating. Thanks for the comment.

[@megatexification]

Where does yeast come from?

[@sherrisignore7488]

im from Rhody too!!

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

I like that comment. Thanks. -Dennis

[@papabear5506]

Anyone know how to adapt this for use with a sourdough starter?

[@mariemeeds3809]

Growing up we called these dough- gods!

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

Boy do those look good!

[@mamamaters]

they look so good, i cant wait to try them, when i do donuts and want to sugar them i toss them into a bag with sugar that way you wont have a sugar mess to clean away 😉

[@oneitalia2312]

Yes, why does he put them right on the counter with the sugar? LOL!

[@neridaneuman9534]

[@paulcolbourne5555]

Known in Newfoundland as toutons

[@TheAbz1975]

South Central district of Los Angeles has a doughboy.

[@elliciacarmen2617]

What kind of oil is it cooked in?

[@brittanyriley522]

We call it dougboys in maine!

[@JJLom777]

They got that name because they look like the hats the WWI soldiers wore. In fact, the soldiers themselves became to be known as "doughboys," over time. This information came to me as a child from my grandfather, who was in the war. For once, I can't entirely say I care about the accuracy of his statement so long ago. But, he was there. So, I believe him.

[@kimodonnell4865]

I'm from ri! Love your recipe. Are you originally from ri?

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

I grew up in Mystic Connecticut and moved to California to go to college. I've been here ever since. I love it here.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Hi Grisel. I've been doing research, as usual. Popovers would be easy and fun. I have plans to experiment with sous vide with a friend and popovers would be good to make while the lamb is cooking. Keep watching my channel for them in the near future, and thanks for the suggestion.-Dennis

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Hi Grisel. This morning I uploaded to KZbin the video for the Popovers. They were easy and fun, as expected. Thanks for the suggestion. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4qviWWqnrV3rrs
