| Lakota Fry Bread
Posted: 10/20/2007 10:49:15 AM | My best friend and her husband live on the PIne Ridge Reservation. This is the fry bread recipe she uses.
Her version of fry bread - makes 16 to 24
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp baking powder
1/3 cup oil
1/2 to 1 cup dry powdered milk (dont use the commercial kind, if you can get commodity.
2 cups water ( a little more if more milk is used.
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in it and pour in water and oil. Knead thoroughly to a stiff dogh. Add more flour. The dough should not be sticky.
Take a handful and pat it into a flat round with a depression in both sides of the center, or make a twisted round. Depending on the shape and how much you knead and twist and pull it, the fry bread will taste quite differently. Slap it around plenty and make sure the dough is not sticky.
For Indain tacos ( or to serve with wojape berry pudding over it). Make a flat taco, about 8 to 9 inches across and 1 1/2 inches thick at the edges, with a depression in the center of both sides to hold the sauce.
Fry in in hot oil, either a fryer or frypan with at least 1 1/2 of oil in it. Keep crumbs and such skimmed off the oil.
Oil temperature should be about 375, not smoking. Breads will puff and turn golden. Flip over to fry on both sides.
Remove to drain on paper, dont stack them on top of each other until cool.
Even is you are going to make thousands for a pow wow, this is about the right size for a working batch.
It will be noticeable that the ones different people shape come out different even those from the same dough.
If feeding kids work more powdered milk into it.
How many it makes depends on the size you make them.
clean up and saving the frying oil, skim out all the crumbs on the top. Cut up an apple and fry slices in the fat. Cool it. Pour trhough a funnel lined with a cloth towel back into the can, discarding the brown sludge at the bottom. | |

Posted: 10/21/2007 9:13:10 AM | I have to find my recipe for the same but I add Pumpkin to it. Pumpkin frybread with Mesquite honey from my peoples recipie in Chinle, AZ. Navajo Rez, Clan of "The Tangle People".
I think the Lacota and the Navajo breads are very similar. The Ogalala Sioux guy I have been dating would argue this, but you don't see him putting the plate of frybread down! lol...
Thank you for your recipe!
Ha'ish Panana! (May all be beautiful in your world)
