Directions
Indian Fry Bread,This past weekend my DH and I went up to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center here in Albuquerque and attended some interesting talks about Native seed gathering and food. This recipe was included in the offerings. It was delicious. The cooks put assorted toppings on the fry bread. It was my first time trying it and I thought it was delicious.,This is about the best recipe I’ve seen here for fry bread. Some of the others are very similar, because it is a basic recipe, but you’ve covered all the bases here in your excellent directions.. from varying the size to poking the little hole in the middle. Now I don’t have to put my recipe up,, cuz this is it. 🙂 The only thing I would change is to not knead it so much.
