fried bread

Pan-crisped dough slice

Fried bread is bread that has been cooked in hot fat or oil, typically in a skillet or frying pan.

In British cuisine, it refers specifically to slices of white bread fried until golden and crispy, served as part of a full English breakfast.

The term also encompasses various traditional breads from other cultures that are fried rather than baked, such as Native American fry bread or Indian puri.

Nothing soaks up bacon grease quite like a piece of fried bread.
