Fry Bread?

LovinBeingMommy · 08-06-2012, 09:47 AM

Does anyone here have a good fry bread recipe? My mom adores it, but can't get anyone to share their recipes with her, so we just have to wait until an event like pow wow when people are selling it. I'm finding that Monkey quite likes it, too. I haven't decided. I've had really good fry bread and really awful fry bread.

From what I can gather, fry bread recipes are passed down mother to daughter and very rarely shared outside the family, much less with white people (me). You can buy a mix, but it doesn't taste the same. I know which family makes the *really good* fry bread, but I don't actually *know* any of them. I just recognize them because of their importance in the tribe.

I would really like to learn how to make fry bread so we can have it more than once a year at pow wow, where people are selling it. Can anybody help with that? I'm clueless. I had one offer to teach me, then she never followed through (and hers isn't very good, just better than nothing).

pioneer woman has a recipe. my dad does something similar, only he just uses a basic white bread dough, rolls it to abt one quarter inch, covers/let rises for half hr, then cut in two inch squares and fry in oil.

I live in New Mexico... we have fry bread coming out our ears.

It is at every yard sale, flee markets, every school function/fundraiser, every craft fair and at the county fair, it is also at MOST church functions as well.

I have made it a few times as a child, but we didn't really follow a recipe, it was just "add all this" lol The key key key is lots of kneading each individual piece. And also LARD. no other oil will do. It is SO delicious, but soooooooooo bad for you too. lol Our county fair is this week and I really hope to have some there.

Pioneer Woman's is really thin! Looks really crispy and hard in her taco pics, too. Stuff here is usually an inch or more thick. Maybe it's just how she made it... We'll test it and see what happens.

She made a note it looked crispy but was really soft and pliable. Hope it works!

I used to make it'll a lot. It is a very basic recipe. I think I posted it here awhile back.
