5 easy recipes for Fry Bread for when you're craving the fried fair food - minus the fair. Tony: also known as genocide survival rations. Just a bit of history on the creation of fry bread. When the indigenous populations were moved to concentration camps (aka reservations) they were unable to hunt or follow any of their traditional ways of obtaining food. The government then supplied rations in an effort to delay starvation. The corrupt BIA agents would keep any good rations to sell off and give the natives spoiled foods including rotten tallow and weevil infested flour. Having no other options frying dough made from the flower was how some were able to stay alive. These days natives see frybread as part of their culture not realizing it symbolizes survival in the face of adversity. Unfortunately many non natives see profit from this simple dish and commercialize it as mentioned. I recommend if you do want to try fry bread remember its origin and if possible buy it from native chefs as it will blow your mind in comparison to the thick, soggy, heavy, grease sponges non natives attempt to make. Look for the grandmas and aunties making it by hand and if you see a grandma using with what looks to be a branch from a tree to turn the bread in the grease buckle up as your taste buds are in for the ride of their lives! Other wise you might just get canned biscuits fried in vegetable oil by some pimple faced teen (which is now common place as whites take over the pow wow scene in an effort to profit.

Hi Sam and Max, Great show always. Really enjoy this one even though I'm late watching it. Growing up in Sicily this was a standard on weekend. My Grandmother would make the fried dough or doughboys with flour, salt, yeast, and water. The yeast so they would be fluffy on the inside. Cover them with melted butter, a little salt and powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar. The perfect match with a garden salad on a Saturday afternoon. At the fairs on the East Coast (RI, CT, MA, NY, NY, PA) they are doughboys or fried dough. Great recipe you made and am going to try this week!

The Navajos learned this from the Spanish in the 16th century. Mexicans call these sopapillas or bunuelos depending on the shape or if they are sweet or not. Sopapillas are made with hotter oil and they turn into little pillows. The Navajos traded with the Spanish and they did have spices, beans, rice, and peppers. The rest of the Southwest Native Americans learned how to make them from the Navajo, and the rest of the Native Americans learned this from modern pow-wows in the 20th century.

Awesome episode! After watching, I started experimenting with the dough and it truly is versatile. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS: Roll the dough out very thin, and fill it with fillings (endless possibilities; everything from sweet to savory) WRAP IT UP LIKE A CHALUPA AND FRY IT TILL BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN BROWN! I made: CHIPOTLE CHROIZO-GOAT CHEESE AND EGGS-CREAM CHEESE AND FRESH RASBERRY SPREAD-AVACADO WITH CILANTRO AND CARNE ASADA! -You can seriously go crazy with these things!

Sam. Been watching your videos for a while now and love em! Made many of the dishes and everytime myself and who I cook them for think they are delicious. Was gonna ask if you could try making a dish involving alfredo. My girl absolutely hates alfredo. So it would be nice to change her opinion on it hahaha even tho alfredo can be pretty ehh and bland. I'm sure you can spice it up tho and change her view on alfredo. Thank you keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching

When our ancestors were prisoners on reservations they were given rations. Often the rations were rancid or insect infested. They used the flour and lard and made fry bread to prevent starvation. Some call it traditional food but really only since forced removals. Try salted caramel sauce, using as pizza crust and grilling, wrapping hot dogs in the dough, slow cooking roast, green chili peppers and onions and topping with that

Your language is juvenile for a man of your years and offensive. You have trouble getting down to the point. Suggest you write a script to help you from wandering around. Watch some other presenters and you will see a difference between those who are in the camera talking about what they're GOING to do and those who are well organized and demonstrating what they're doing.

I live in Oklahoma, and in the town where the Choctaw and Chickasaw headquarters are. where this is very, very common, made all the time & you can get it everywhere - and its always referred to as Indian Fry Bread or Native Fry Bread by those making it (mostly natives) and most people HOH talk to. I LOVE all these different topping ideas! Ill definitely be trying this!

AWESOME! As a full-blooded Native American, (Cherokee Creek/ Assiniboine Sioux) I totally approve! lol Fry bread is reservation food; food ration, or food distribution program creation. The federal government gave us flour, oil, dry beans, and other foods. Thank you so very much for doing a video on this delicious treat! Wado! (thank you)
