Directions
Authentic Navajo Indian Fry Bread (Taco Bread),Step by easy step recipe for a Native American all-purpose flat bread dating back to the nineteenth century. Fry bread is considered a food of inter-tribal unity and is made at all Indian pow wows. It has a crispy outside and a chewy inside. Serve with butter & honey, powdered sugar, or cinnamon & sugar. Or add ‘taco’ ingredients to the top to make an Indian taco bread salad. You can also fill these with anything then fold them up to eat. Or simply serve plain with soup, stew, etc. *EDITED TO ADD: This is an old recipe and I know many of us no longer use so much salt – if that’s the case for you then I suggest REDUCING THE SALT BY HALF.,I doubled the recipe and my whole family loved it! I made deserts (similar to elephant ears), fry bread hotdogs (similar to croissant hotdogs) and open faced PB&J’s. So good! I am planning on making frybread tacos this weekend.
