In a bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, white sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together warm water and melted butter.

Pour the water and butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a slightly sticky and elastic ball forms.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then a towel.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface.

If necessary, knead in 1/4 cup of flour.

Shape the dough into 10 equal balls.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Roll each dough ball into an 8-inch round on a lightly floured surface.

Carefully place each round into the hot oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Remove the fry bread and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Repeat with the remaining dough rounds.
