I used to live next to a reservation near Altus Ok. I was privileged and honored to be invited and go to a couple of pow-wows. Delicious food, excellent fry-bread bread and wonderful people.
I lived in Lawrence Kansas and became friends with a coworker who was Navajo. We were telephone operators. She had gone to Haskell Indian University there. Her husband was Crow. One day, I was traveling back to my hometown to visit my mom and she said stop by. I did and she gave me some frybread to eat on the way. She said it didn't turn out as good as usual, didn't rise as much, but i couldn't tell. It tasted just wonderful. She gave me her recipe. The history of frybread that I had seen said Indians had hunting lands taken away, so our government gave the commodities of flour, dry milk powder, etc. And the Indians turned these bare ingredients into fantastic frybread.
@@Apachewolf those foods were made to destroy the masses. Watch for Crisco, vegetable oil, soybean oil & soy ingredients including tofu and corn oil... they caus€ m€m○ry ¡ssu€s (¥lzh€¡m€rs). Scientifically proven in the 80s. They interrupt the neurological pathways and cause so many problems. You know, the food we eat often changes however, going out to eat and cooking in these crippling oils is a constant in most people. Soy oil was a big factor for me.
I'm loven your channel!! Just ran across this. Soo, with that being said,, I'll be giving this recipe a try. I don't measure either & everything I do,, the end product doesn't end well 😅. This looks easy enough bit I'll find out soon enough. Thank you for being here & sharing your skills & humor 😊😊❤
Don't know, my family never used dried milk, we used our dried milk for the baby lambs N kids. My mom made the best frybread, she barely touched the bread when she shaped it, she only used flour, baking powder N salt.
I’m from México and when you started to make the preparation I realice we have the same roots, the Flour Tortilla is almost the same. Thank you for share the Navajo Bread with us.
I live in Maui, Hawaii. Thank you for coming to show us. I always wanted to know how to do it. I used to go to pow wow in California and always liked the fry bread tacos...delicious!
Thank you very much for sharing your recipe for Navajo fry bread. It looks delicious! Watching your mother making fry bread reminds me of my mother in the kitchen. She would also use her hands to measure the right amounts of everything including flour to make tortillas. They become experts with their hands and that’s how they teach us as kids. I love how your mom measures the salt and the powder milk, she is awesome! Again, thank you both for this great video.
I am of Cherokee decent and my mother used to make this bread. I think there are a few different recipes out there, all about the same. What a delicious bread, we make tacos with them. Thank you for this video, your mother is adorable!
Oh my, you two are having so much fun. And Alice, you make it look so so easy. Your explanation of the flour/baking powder ratio is brilliant. Thank you. I love fry bread - Navajo tacos; cinnamon sugar fry bread; chili cheese fry bread; and fruit pudding fry bread.
This vidio blessed me in my time of need. Since whatever is on the Internet stays forever, imagine the number of people blessed from here forward. Thank you for your witness.
This was so wonderful to watch. The fry bread looks delicious and I'm going to try making it, but even more wonderful was your family unity.Thank you for this great video
Hello from Germany, I really love this video😊 I know fry bread from the lakota people...yummie!! Need to come to America, see my friends in South Dakota!! Its so awesome to see you both in the kitchen.
When your fry bread sings to you..."I want you to want me...I need you to knead me..." Your beautiful momma cracks me up! I could sit and drink coffee with her every morning of my life and never tire of it!
Enjoyed your info very much. I was living on Navajo Reservation for about 6 years close to Window Rock. Went to my first 3 Years of school there. Was a small blond hair blue eyed young man that often spent time in Hogans sharing bread and boiled mutton With my Navaho school mates. These were some very pleasing and memorable times of my life. This was around 1949 to about 1953 or 54. Loved the pow wow celebration always and sat in on some men only traditional events that I had absolutely no idea what Wes going on other then drums and singing. Scared my Mother to death because they wouldn’t let her come in to get me back home.....lol. This video brought back so many fond memories....thank you for,sharing... Jim Schimpf Fredericksburg, Texas
I grew up the same way here in these blue ridge mountains of west Virginia. I remember the good times though my momma cooking fried bread and beans on our cook stove. We did have a cistern outside , a outhouse. My granny is cherokee nation I remember her stories of growing up in north Carolina and then Virginia. I sometimes want to go back . God bless .
Yep, I remember growing up with outhouse, no electricity, no running water, no toys...lol. Very simple life and glad I grew up that way, must been about 14 of us kids running all over the back country of the Rez had a great time!
I've known many Navajo over the years. My foster daughter is full Navajo raised just south of Page. She was with us during the school year, and home in Az. During the summer. Sandy taught me how her family made fry bread. It is the same except she added one or two eggs depending one how big a batch. I never mastered the way she mixed it. She used two fingers and would pull the flour somehow that was moist up over the center well of liquid. It was so well mixed and perfect by the time all the flour was mixed in, it reminded me of a friend who made French pastries and her fine doughs. Like all cooks we all add our signatures. A little of this and a little of that. There is no one exact way, but the one you like best. Your mom is cute and the same height as my mom. Now show us how to do mutton to go with the fry bread!
I lived in Grants, NM for 6 years and worked at the hospital. They made fry bread and beans on Fridays and we had people come to the hospital to eat lunch. Also, there were Fry bread stands along I-40 that people stopped at during the day. I'm back in Texas and do miss it for sure.
Thank you much for your lovely demonstration and the sense of humor you all have to go along with it. Have been wanting to learn how to do it. Now it's time to experiment and learn....Thank you, Mom!!!
My Grandpas mother was native his Dad was Spanish he was born in Los Lunda New Mexico and I love that I have native Indian roots. He road horses and he made tortillas small round ones.grem chili or red chili. I would have liked to have a closer relationship with that part of my roots. Thanks for sharing 🥰
Omg the things people live through and come out to be wonderful adults. My word walkin that far for water and only 5 years old. You sir have my respect and admiration. I would love to read more of your stories. Wish you could write a book. This is a lot of work to make frybread. I cant imagine makin enough for a big family
Yes, a book would be interesting...lol. From early life on the Rez to all the paths one takes that gets them to a current point in life. Encounters and situations some might find hard to believe might make for some interesting ready in this "Circle of Life" we all live in. We all have a stories to tell. Sometimes life IS stranger than fiction.
my wife found out about 5 years ago that she is Metis decent, and this is something that she wants to try to make, she is a great bread maker, so l have no doubt that she won't become a master of making this, thank you for the lovely video with your mother, we are going to try to go to a Pow Wow and check out the fry bread area. Thanks again,
What a sweet mom!😊 Enjoy her! Both my parents passed not long ago. I know I'll see them in Heaven, but do miss them now... Anyway, enjoy your family!❤🎉
Your channel just popped up in my feed and the word “Navajo” got my attention, so I decided to click on it and I’m so glad I did. Not only did I enjoy your Mom’s spirit and sense of humor, I also learned a little about your culture and early childhood. In Jamaica, we use the same dough to make fried dumplings which are a lot smaller than fry bread and not nearly as flat. The difference with the ingredients is, we add baking powder to the mixture to make the dumplings rise when they’re fried. These dumplings are predominantly breakfast food.
Thank you for this! We just got back from Four Corners and I had my first Navajo fry bread there and I have been craving it ever since!!! I tried a recipe that I had found, but according to this video I did everything wrong! Haha! I used all purpose flour instead of bread flour and added WAY too much flour (my dough was more like tortilla dough) AND I kneaded it instead of just mushing it with her hands like your sweet grandma did. Thank you!!!
What a sweet Mother you have! Thank you to my brothers and sisters in the Navajo Nation. My Mom's name was Alice and she became a good cook too! From Susan of the Chipewyan Nation.
EnJoyed watching both mother and son... first time to come across this channel. 🥳 I will return; Thank you, Sweet Loving Son. 😊 this recipe was a new one to me, Thank you for sharing such a memorable time with your mom. 🥳🎉 🕊 Peace abide, stay well and safe. 💖 Blessed New Year!
One of my best child hood memories is when our local tribe would come to our school and teach us and make us fry bread, It would fill the entire school up with the most amazing aroma. It was such an amazing treat. Thank you so much for teaching us!!!!!
Enjoyed this video so very much! Your Mother is such a joy. Love & joy just radiates from her being. I totally understand about your upbringing. I am a Cherokee from eastern Okkahoma. We had wood stoves, drew water by hand from a well, had an outhouse, etc. I believe our parents generation were some of the toughest people ever! We now have all the modern conveniences and dearly love them. Lol
Hey, I have to thank you both for the tutorial! I am part Native American, Muscogee Creek Nation but I didn't get the chance to grow up in the culture as I was adopted. I'm busy trying to "Catch Up"! This will become a tradition for my family from now on! Can't wait to make some to see how it turns out. Cross our fingers?! Thank you again!
Lol... I wish I could speak it fluently. Mom didn't let us talk it around the house, maybe she thought we would talk about her...lol. So I picked up what I could from my cousins.
@@amyyazzie249 I'm half First Nation of Canada and half bilagáana as you can tell from my mother. My navajo step father raised me on the Navajo reservation. Dene of BC Canada and Dine are closely related, they speak the same root language.
I was very impressed how you spoke Navajo so well. Most Navajo don’t speak their own language right. I raised my children off the Reservation and my children lost our language I didn’t realized it until it was gone. I can understand and speak Navajo I just don’t have anyone right to speak it with. I lived in Minnesota most of my life.
My first and best experience of eating fry bread was at a church gathering at a local Navajo family's Hogan, somewhere between Smith Lake and Thoreau NM in about 1979. My Great Ant was a missionary and elementary teacher in the area for over 30 years and I spent a couple of weeks with her. The Hogan was wired for electricity and plumbed for water and a toilet, but the utilities were still a few years away from reaching them. The ladies sat outside on the ground with a stone oven and fire and were putting out a ton of fry bread. It was terrific, I could not get enough of it. The large pan of meat was also delicious, I did pause a moment when I found out that it was from the same goat I had played with the week before. But all in all, it was a new and wonderful experience for this 12-year-old city-dwelling Gringo. And I have never had fry bread anywhere as good as what I had that day. Perhaps I will try making it from your Mom's instructions, but I dought I can make it as good.
Fry bread is one of the most delicious foods in the world! I love that every cook has their own recipe, and that she measures using experience and by feel and look.
That was so enjoyable to watch - I measure by hand like your mother when I make tortillas...it would be so odd for me to measure it all out after eye balling it all these years. Now what I can't do is roll by hand 😊 she's expert at it.
How amazing to see a Mama and Son do a cooking show together. She makes that Fry Bread dough with a lot of patience and love. I can tell I have to work on developing my patience while kneading it, not try to rush it so fast. Oh...and, Mama is right... they were paid off! LOL Thank you for sharing this moment! Now, I'm off to the kitchen to make some.
Awe, she reminds me of my grandma, she was Cherokee and she measured the same way. Oh how i wish i was as smart as you and got her on tape. I truly miss her! Cherish your mom while you can.
Love your mom! I was born and raised in New Mexico, spent time around Gallup, eating Navajo Fry Bread and Navajo Tacos . . . my Navajo Fry Bread came out tough the first and last time I tried making it, so hope to improve my skills watching your mama!
What a fun video! When I worked for the State of New Mexico - the cafeteria would make Navajo Fry Bread - the line was long ... they made taco's with them. I am from the Pacific NW and our fry bread is totally different. It seams much faster to make but I gotta say It's the BEST - I'm sure it depends on where you grow up. Thank you! I really enjoyed.
Love your mom and stories what the government have done to all Navajo and American is awfull full disclosure because of there knowledge and they we’re connected to earth your mom is awesome
Praying for the people of Hawaii. May God keep you safe. Thank you for sharing with us.

It's funny how much better frybread taste with commodity foods when I was growing up on the Rez.

Love your mom! I was born and raised in New Mexico, spent time around Gallup, eating Navajo Fry Bread and Navajo Tacos . . . my Navajo Fry Bread came out tough the first and last time I tried making it, so hope to improve my skills watching your mama!
What a fun video! When I worked for the State of New Mexico - the cafeteria would make Navajo Fry Bread - the line was long ... they made taco's with them. I am from the Pacific NW and our fry bread is totally different. It seams much faster to make but I gotta say It's the BEST - I'm sure it depends on where you grow up. Thank you! I really enjoyed.
Love you both so much! Just found your channel!
Looks so good!!!
Here in Corpus Christi, Tx I went with Friends to a wonderful Pow Wow. Some Navaho ladies were making fry bread. It was delicious.
