How to Make a Healthy Fried Dough Snack

You can make a healthier version of fried dough at home, with just a few ingredients. It's not fried and it's not dough, but your taste buds will not know the difference. Unlike traditional fried dough, this healthier version of fried dough is not sopping with grease. A typical piece of fried dough, or an elephant ear, as they are sometimes called can have about 700 calories. This healthier version of fried dough has less than half that number of calories. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Toasting the bread.

      Place the the naan bread onto a piece of foil and place it in the oven once it has heated up to a broiling temperature. Place the bread the foil if you want to, it's optional. Do the same if you are using a grill.

    • 3

      Watch the bread as it bubbles and browns slightly. Only keep the bread in the oven for one to two minutes. Do not let it get too brown around the bubbled edges. Carefully remove the bread from the oven.

    • 4

      Spray a low-fat butter peaks and valleys of the puffed up bread. Or use a butter knife to spread the butter or margarine product. The butter spray is what will help keep the cinnamon and sugar mix on the bread.

    • 5
      The finished product.

      Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mix onto the butter on the bread. Use as much or as little as you need. To give the bread a true fried dough flair, sprinkle on some powdered sugar. Enjoy.
