fry bread
Native American staple
Fry bread is a flat dough deep-fried until golden and puffy, associated especially with Native American cuisines.
The dough is simple—flour, water, salt, and leavening—shaped by hand and fried in oil or lard.
It serves as the base for Indian tacos or is eaten with honey or powdered sugar.
We had fry bread at the powwow.
