My go to comfort food when I'm craving something warm and satisfying is fried bread. It's incredibly simple to make, taking just seven minutes from start to table, and costs almost nothing since you probably have these ingredients on hand already. The neutral oil I use adds minimal flavor while helping the bread get perfectly golden and crispy on the outside. I love how this quick snack comes together when I need an instant pick me up, and it's so versatile you can eat it plain or top it with whatever you're in the mood for.
