Everything about Frybread totally explained
Fried bread (also spelled
fry bread, also known as
bannock) is a
Native American food, found throughout the
United States. (It is also known as "squaw bread" in some areas.) Frybread is a flat dough
fried or
deep-fried in oil,
shortening, or
lard. The dough is generally
leavened by yeast or baking powder.
Topped with additions such as
beans,
ground beef, or shredded
cheese, frybread is served as
Indian tacos or
Navajo tacos. If sweetened, or served with sweet toppings such as honey or
powdered sugar, frybread is very similar to an
elephant ear or to the confection simply known as
fried dough.
Frybread has a significant (if perhaps
stereotyped) role in Native American culture. It is often served both at home and at gatherings like
pow-wows and
state fairs. Frybread was named the official "state bread" of
South Dakota in 2005 . Also in 2005, frybread became the center of a controversy involving its role in
obesity and
diabetes among Native Americans. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that a plate of fried bread consists of 700 calories and 27 grams of fat.
Frybread is also known in South American cooking as
cachanga
