3. My dear KitchenWitch!

That sounds yummy!

What sort of bread is it?

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

5. It is a very basic baking powder bread

In historical terms, fry bread arose to be a staple when the Navajo were put on the reservation and basically given only government commodities.

It has all purpose flour, nonfat dry milk, baking powder, salt and water as the dough.

It is deep fried in vegetable oil.

(Ch)Fry bread, frybread, make me some frybread
How can you be my Nana if you won't make me frybread.
Frybread, frybread, make me some frybread,
How can you be a Nana if you won't make some frybread.

Make me some frybread, chop up some peppers,
Make up some frybread- add some beans and cheese
How 'bout some frybread 'n lettuce n' tomatoes
Make it any kind of bread but make some fry bread please.

(ch)

I'll herd the sheep for you I'll chop the wood.
I'll mud the roof if you'll only make frybread
I'll sweep the floor auntie, I promise I'll be good.
I'll learn a song for you but please make some fry bread.

(ch)

Wheat flour or white flour
Use any kind of flour
Heck even Jewish rye flour
But make some frybread please.

(chorus, repeat and fade...)
This song dedicated to all of Bob and Bonnie's children.
Shouts to my Nana, my Bubbe, Ana Egge and Mrs. Laurie, my 5th grade
English teacher at Groton Heights.

15. think 'rising' SPK

proving the yeast/soda/baking powder has the power to poof the bread

17. Ummmm frybread..

I was in Santa Fe N.M. two weeks ago for Indian Market and munched on frybread and mutton sandwiches all week. I will have to learn how to make my own frybread, because Alison thinks that it is too fattening, thus not to be encouraged at home. Please post your recipe tomorrow.

[KitchenWitch]

18. Will do!
