Hi my name is Brenda and I'm Cherokee and I make Navajo fried bread the first time by myself and I was not taught by anyone I just know how I did cinnamon and sugar ones and made fruit ones with cool whip. I cook all the time. I'm so proud to be native American God bless you and your family.
My husband is from Mexico and my kids are half Otomi. I love watching Indian videos and seeing the people of Turtle Island living and thriving and sharing their traditions. Thank you so much. ❤
I always wondered what fry bread was and how it is made. My Mexican ancestors make a similar recipe, a dessert recipe. Once the fry bread is fried, we splash cinnamon and sugar on it. It’s called a buñuelo.
@theengineer8290 I was also raised with bunuelos. I made the fry bread and added the cinnamon and sugar to it. The fry bread was a little thicker, which made it better, but it was a different recipe that required butter and milk.
Not to be a internet historian but I don't know if we made bread back then. Mexico does have the best ingredients compared to the world but didn't have bread
I'm from Prescott Arizona, my dad was the chief health administrator and psychiatrist for the Navajo nation in window rock Arizona from the late 60s through the mid 80s. There was a very nice Navajo lady name Vera, who showed me how to make the Navajo cry bread back in the late 70s in Prescott.. and I've been making it ever since.. great video, sir. Thanks for posting this..yatahay !
We visited a summer parade in the Sierra Nevada range and a Washoe Indian grandma was covered in white flour patting the dough into circles. I tried it with taco filings and it was amazing. The best treat ever
I make it this fry Navahos bread,my family like it,i put butter and sugar above...it was delicious...I know about American Native tribes, Indians Indians...many musicians talented ,groups come to Athens Greece,with their American Native music and cds,and now i watch them on you tube...I love and respect American Native people Indians Natives,i like the way their are live,their history, culture snd their Meditation...very brave people with many human values....
I am Mexican American and I live in Minnesota though and I gotta say we have a lot of Native Americans over here and a lot of different tribes and such but I have never ever had more respect for the culture and the food!! It’s fkn amazing and I love Indian Tacos they’re fkn amazing ❤❤❤much love to you guys and May God always shine ✨ His light on you! 🎉
My aunt is Ojibwe and she makes fry bread for tacos or with butter and cinnamon and sugar. She also wraps strips of the dough around hot dogs and fries them. So delicious! One of my Ojibwe friends told me to use yeast bread dough to make fry bread which is also really good. She forgot to tell me to poke a hole in the dough before frying so I ended up with fry bread balloons. I just cut them open and filled them with taco ingredients. Thank you for the video!
My Uncle was native American and every member of his family including my cousin who was half native American died from heart disease before they turned 60 and every one of them ate the white mans food! I have a theory that some of the white mans food is not healthy for native Americans and if yeast was introduced to the native American diet by the white man maybe it should be avoided! I may be wrong but if I was native American I would avoid the white mans food our diet is killing us too!
My momma used to make us fried bread dough. We would put homemade strawberry jam, or homemade sweet butter from my dads Auntie. We are not Native, but have much respect and love towards all. Thank you
I don't know who came up with the Navajo Taco, but they are delicious. Please keep bringing on more videos. I like learning new types of food. Thank you.
I have distant relatives in Four Corners. Their mother is Navajo. I met them last month. I tried to make fry bread last weekend and it didn't turn out bad, using the same ingredients. This video helped a lot. Always wondered what it tasted like and now am slightly addicted. My son tried what I made and liked it too. Now I just have to perfect it, which is fun. Thanks so much for the video and tips.
Little advice. It actually comes out softer if your dough is a little moist. Which is done before covering with the towel. After you cover let it sit for 20-30 mins.
I was in elementary school, I belonged to the Native American Indian club here in California, and one of the things that I remember most that we learned how to do was make Indian fry bread. Has been and always will be one of my favorite dishes. my mom used to make it for us on occasion, as a special treat over the years.
This was awesome! Very cute, very funny. I request more cooking videos, especially Navajo tacos/ Indian tacos. When I just did a search for them, tons of non-indigenous people have cooking videos for them but I’d much rather see a wise Indigenous person who has had centuries of experience. 😜🥰
"wise indigenous person"... Smh. No such thing as indigenous anyway. People have lived in the Americas 150,000 years. It wasn't them. Dozens of human species that are extinct. Not related to any of us.
This takes me back when I was a kid growing up in Albuquerque and we use to take road trips up north and the Navajo people would be selling fry bread along the highway. Always loved when we stopped and got some . 🔥
Thank you for sharing how you make Fry Bread Navajo, Man! 😊 I enjoyed the humor and appreciate the content. I hope you all are doing good the family, twins, Angel, and grandpa & grandma. ❤😊
Hi Thank You for the recipe! My Xboyfriend is from New Mexico and always telling me about this bread, l haven’t seen him in 40 years but my Husband passed away and we had always remained friends! He is going to come to Texas and visit me and l will surprise him with this Bread! God Bless
You are also a magician! My family lived in Kansas City, Missouri and we went to rodeos every year. There were Tribal folks cooking bread in a huge pot of oil. Making by hand, they would let us kids pat it out ( with their close observation and assistance) and they would drop it in the oil and we would be amazed at it cooking. Then the lady would wrap it in papertowels, tell us to be careful--Its hot!-- and we would pay her 50 cents. This was 55 years ago. I dont know what Nation or tribe, but they were wonderful and so fun to be around.
I am Bosnian. My first boyfriend in Utah was Navajo. I was shocked when I first ate Navajo Bread because we have EXACT SAME RECIPE IN BOSNIA FOR MANY CENTURIES... I STILL HAVE NOT SOLVED THE MYSTERY OF HOW IT IS POSSIBLE SINCE WE ARE NATIVE TO BALKAN REGION OF EUROPE AND HAVE NO TRACES OF ELANY CONNECTION TO NATIVE AMERICANS BUT I LOVE THAT WE HAVE SAME THING WE GREW UP ON EATING BY OUR GRANDMAS❤
I'm Italian from Brooklyn N.Y. my Nonna made this for us grand children we call it Frete. My wife made it for me and my children. Small World isn't? We all Bleed the same Color!!! We all look up to the Heavens for Blessings from above. Blees you and yours!
@della2554 I love your theory 💜 I also ran into Navajo family after I posted this comment and we spoke about it. They think since wheat flour came with European settlers that it is possible we thought them the recipe as they told me this Indian Bread was not in their tradition until last couple of centuries 🤔 that makes nice Thanksgiving Story of cooking together. I wonder what author of this video thinks
@@shukriaapso8404 the indigenous did trade and share with the Europeans who came to North America,Turtle Island before the Europeans started genocide to steal "America". Canada back in colonization didn't have war against Indigenous from the crown but the crown did steal their lands. Lots of trade and sharing especially with the French and Indigenous in Canada so the recipes would have been taken back to European countries.
Navajo people were kept in internment camps and given only very basic ingredients like flour and animal lard to survive on so they often would make fry bread because the US army didn't provide prepared food much. Hispanics in New Mexico also make "sopapillas" which come from fried bread that was made in the south of Spain by the Mozarabic people. The word comes from a German word "suppa" which meant bread soaked in oil. In any case Navajos (and other Indigenous Americans) adopted foods from Europeans and European settlers adopted foods from indigenous Americans.
Hi I'm native American Indian I'm Cherokee and I was never taught how to make fried bread I just made it God bless your beautiful family. I love making Navajo fried bread I even make cinnamon sugar fried bread and it's really good
I love your vlogs!!!!You always make me laugh! Thank you , brother. You dont know how many homes you reach with your humor, and positive energy. I also would like to know how i can get your apron. Your fry bread measurement is hilarious. Im watching the blog from my hogan in Sanders, Az. May the Creator always bless you and your family.
The best fry bread video ever! Awesome bread lesson & mad funny Teacher 😂😂 I love the real visual family in the back round just going about their day! Keep teaching brother you're Blessed with making folks laugh & great recipes I enjoy your channel! I subscribed! 🧘♀️👊🙏💫
Aloha from Hawai'i 🤙I enjoyed this video! Mahalo for sharing. I traveled/drove across the country a while back and made a stop at Four Corners to show my niece and nephew. We had the fry bread there (our first time tasting) and we liked it, along with the local crafts and local artisans. What a special experience.
I love Navajo fry bread. I lived near the Navajo people years ago .. they are the nicest people you ever met. I love their culture and traditions. Navajo tacos are yummy too. Blessings you you sir. Now. I want to make navajo bread today. Happy Holidays .. 😊
I absolutely love this video! I lived in Montana for 12 years of my life. Met various individuals from different tribes throughout Montana & the west. Great friends of mine. I love Fry Bread and it's a very versatile concoction that can be savory or sweet. Thank you 🤗💪🤟
When I was in my early 20s, my excellent friend and roommate was Cree and she would make bannock for us but she left it much thicker and more doughy and sometimes baked it. I recently went to a Seminole Arts Festival and my kids and I and our friends kept purchasing more and more fry bread and NDN tacos. So good!
Interesting in our Mexican culture we use the same ingredients to Make flour tortillas. But don’t fry them after we roll into little balls. We flatten them in a thin round shape(mini pizza)lol. Then cook them on brown on a skillet
@@deebell8727 I fry flour tortillas same as the fry bread here.. They puff up the same... It adds a lot of flavor and makes a delicious taco! I make Sopapillas like that from regular flour tortillas as well ... just cut the flour tortillas in quarters and fry..
You cook like i do. I can't give anyone a recipe because i rarely measure anything. And you are funny like my friend Pete. Pete is Dene and Cree from Canada.
Fun video! I'm split on how to feel about Fry Bread. On one hand, its a comfort food made out of necessity and now a tradition. On the other, it is not part of the native diet prior to populations being forced on to reservations and somewhat unhealthy.
Every Native American loves fry bread but little do we all know, the the only reason why it’s our most “known meal” is because that’s all the white men ever gave us.
You are so cute!😂😂😂 Thank you, my Mother in law would only make fry bread on special family get togethers. Usually the dough was already made when we would get to the house. I would only see her form the fry breads to cook. She always put a hole in the middle before frying. We usually ate them like a tostada. With meat, and beans on top. (I regret never asking her to teach me) My Father in law was Navajo, from NM. I am the whitest Lakota you will ever meet. Lol (on my Mom's side from N D), but I cook with my Ancestors too. I tell people, enjoy, cause I don't have a recipe, and we may never eat this again. My Ancestors were singing to you. I said you like him. They said Very much!❤
I’ve only had Navajo fry bread once-many, many years ago. Loved it so much. Never trusted myself to attempt to cook some for my family. You’ve inspired me to finally give it a try. 🙏🏼 Thanks!
Very nice fried bread. I have been making it for years. In my country, Argentina, we call it tortas fritas, It is the same recipe. Saludos from Graciela In Tampa, Florida.🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your time in showing us how to make fry bread, I loved it when traveling thru AZ and can’t wait to try it, just have to get a iron skillet 😁
I been making fry bread and I use so much clabber girl that I’m buying the big size these days. 😂 Sloppy joes on fry bread my recent jam. 😋 I also rock a dry towel lol. 😂
Yaateeh, Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I grew up in Gallup, New Mexico . After moving away it wasn’t until some 6 years later that I had some fry bread. I’m gonna make some using your recipe and this weekend. Hopefully your ancestors will help me while add my ingredients 🙏 Lol!! Best Wishes AG Who knows I may be eating the best fry bread in East Texas😂.
I've made these for 50 years. My grandma made these since about 1907. She taught my mom , and mom taught me. I've passed it down to my daughter and granddaughters. Most of us lived in St. George UTAH. Many people ate this amazing bread. Although we used yeast.. think I'm going to make yours right now. Thanks for the lesson .
I stopped at a Navajo roadside stand in New Mexico and had what they called a Navajo burger. It was fried bread with ground buffalo patty, cheese and a roasted green chilli pepper. It was amazing. That was just outside Shiprock, NM about 15 years ago.
I was smiling all the way through your video. I have made fry bread with buttermilk. I’m going to try your recipe. Keep making these i learn, laugh and have a new recipe…ill add from the 4 winds. 😊.
I grew up around some one that was born in the four corners he made us Navajo Tocos frome time to time. His family took my family in 1979 to the four corners for a week so vacation. Whent to a powwow in gallop in some big stadium really cool. But the best part was we camped in a place called squaw point. And he made Navajo tocos out in the middle of nowhere. Our bread would do everything you did but I remember him telling me that he put yeast in his. All I now is fry bread is absolutely wonderful.
Right on 👍🏻😊👍🏻 just discovered your channel in my feed on RUclips, love Fry bread have had it many times at my local Powwows ( Mashontucket and Narragansett Indigenous Powwows) I liked and subbed to your Channel, Thank you for sharing your recipe for Navajo Fry bread 😊❤
I loved watching you go through the process of making the fry bread. I tried making it in the past, and mine was a disaster. I never learned how to knead dough before. I did not let the dough rest. And then, my oil was too hot, so my fry bread was burned a little and flat like a pancake. Yuck! But I ate it anyway. Ha ha!
Thank you for showing us your recipe. I’ve always heard that fry bread is delicious. Now I’ll try to make it myself. I’m not Native American. My 4th great grandma was Shawnee but I would say I’m white with great cheekbones lol.
I'm part Blackfoot, and I have the cheekbones too. My grandkids say I'm a squirrel and I'm smuggling nuts. Then as their baby fat wore off they all found out that they all had the same cheeks. 😅
Oooo! I love it when it's cooked golden brown! Yes! Like u said, when it's done golden brown it's good not dark brown it's burned! My brother cooks too! I made fried bread too once in a while! 😋
Hello My Friend! I just discovered you on Peter's Video! I love what you are doing! I am Van Calloway, I am mostly a white man, ( But like almost every silly white man around here, I have part Cherokee blood apparently, but I dont claim to be of Native descent.. I dont want to insult those whom I respect, and pray i havent done so....And I didnt know that my great grandother was from what i am told, full Cherokee untill i was in muy 30s.. so.. thats kinda sad.. anyways.. ) With that said, and either way, I appreciate and love what you are doing here! I am so gratful to know that there are young men out there in the world, willing to share the culture and the beauty of the lands of your anscestors and the ways of your people! I cant stress just how gratful I am for what you are doing here, by sharing your knowledge and your life.. trying to maintain the old ways, the language and the education that should be taught to ALL of the First People Tribes and should be considered a "national treasure".... Because the real culture of this land was ... defiled.. by white anscestors... I am so very very ashamed of that... I pray you accept my humble and honest sorrow and remorse for thier behaviour and actions... it is to this day, unforgivable... SO i wont ever ask for that.. Anyways, I love what you are doing sir, and I am so so glad you are doing it! I will share your channel in the hopes that it will earn you more subs! I pray you can make a huge thing out of this!! and that You and Your Family and your extended Family, and both You and Your Wife's Tribes Flourish and only grow to gain power and respect and the sacred places that have been stolen from you back... I thank you for the effort and time and open and honest friendship and sharing you showed so so so many millions of people like myself, who will remember and value seeing the lands and hearing your teachings, its truly a treasure and I value it! I look forward to watching your videos from now on! Thank you brother! With Respect, Love, and the desire to see you succeed in any and all things that you pursue in your life! Sincerly- Van L Calloway - Asheville/Canton North Carolina. OH P.S. My Friend... ( I am an "Experiencer" and I have seen more UFO ( both light orbs and actual physical appearing objects) Than I can even begin to count... like I had been keeping count back in 2007 alone, but in that year alone in Haerrisonburg VA... i sropped bothering to count.. it was constantly there at night when i went out to smoke.I have also now i believe encountered 2 "entities"... I have never seen a "Grey" or been taken on a ship to my knowledge or whatever they hell they are and if they even have "ships"... but the entities I encountered werent Greys... or whatever. As a matter of fact i believe the first one was some sort of Dark and Horrific thing beyond any language i can grasps ability to describe accuratly.. It paralyzed me and it was in a huge cornfield up in VA in summer of 2007... it was the most terrifying and un-manning thing i have ever known... and I wouldnt wish it on Adolf frickin Hitler... it was... like being near a sentient, God-Like, Living Black Hole ( I coud NOT look directly at it,,.whatever IT was.. it was roughly shaped like a ..a.. Sarcophagus? Standing up> A HUGE one.. like 13' tall and 4' wide!.. and its surface looke dlike it was made of Boiling Roiling SHadow with little candle lights that just barely didnt break the surface if its.. uhm.. boiling black skin??... Its IMPOSSIBLE.. to describe it.. and it moved just like what Ezekiel in the Book of the Bible says those 4-headed things moved like.. it didnt walk, I dont know if it even hjad a head and eyes and arms and legs... it just shot forward and backwards...VERY VERY VERY lightning fast... like.. UFO-Fast... and its appearance is nearly impossible to descirbe because my mind/eyes burned when i first saw it , i was ohysically paralyzed, and only my eyeballs werent paralyzed. And i felt its presence a split second before it appeared over to my left in this massive cornfield at about 6pm in Harrisonburg VA, and stoppe don a dime.. when my eyes darted over and I looked DIRECTLY at it for only a SPLIT SECOND... It felt like my MIND AND EYES were Watering and buyrning anf I felt this OPRESSION and DARKNESS and unbelievable FEAR... FEAR isnt the Word, TError is to what i felt that day like Microscopic is to Galatic Sized.... if that makes sence? Anwyays.. sorry... so... uhg... .. I mean I am an experiencer to the pooint that I am fairly certain my home and my family was nearly burned alive in a horribly obvuous home arson that occured in broad daylight... ( i know this sounds nuts... but i am dead serious)im almost absolutely certain that the CIA or someone wants my mothers land in Canton NC because in 2017 these Firey Orabe Orbs odf light started loitering outside every night, and when i looked at them, it was like they were looking back at me.. ( they were in 3 different areas around my home in the neighborhood wooded areas... most people wouoldnt notice them ans if they did they would think they were street lamps.. but they were LOOKING BACK AT ME.. and they arent human... I dont know what "they" are... but UI know they meant me nothing GOOD... and that I started experiencing HORRIFYING things ALL NIGHT everything untill May 17th 2020, when someone who had left 2 bizzaro threats on my porch for me when i had left home overnight ... they waited and knew somehow that i had finnaly after 3 days fallen asleep, after being awake for 3 days scared to death someone was going to kick the door in and shoot me foer some reason... But at 1pm in broad daylight after i had JUST laid down in the next room on my bed with my finacee... someone used a window on the backporch that wouldnt lock anymore and i used often to climb into my house ( they myst have knowbn about it because of watching me do that).... and they litteraly firebombed my lioving room and burned my jmothers family home down.... i was homeless for allmsit 2 years before i got some assistance throuyfgh mental health places... anwyays yeagh... I see them... it comes and goes ... but i had 3 visions oer sdownloads as well one each year from 2017 till 2019... and gher last one has something to do with a day thats coming soon where we all wake up and the sky is as Red as it is Blue.... and everything is never the same again,.. I pray i am just crazy and this day never comes... I dont know what it is but i have this information thats been placed inside my head and every so often little spurts of it come out...in conversation about thgese topics.... I dont think those entities, whatever they may be.... are from another World, I am fairly sure from my personal experience they are from RIGHT HERE... but RIGHT HERE, On the other side... ive got videos of the main one that i felt was the one targetting and doing hirrifying shit like Poltergheist activety, it was like Pandoras Box... poltergheist shit, i came to 5 times paralyzed and frozen and covere din a paper thin sheet of this weird ice that slowly metled, and my eyes were wide open eveery time... it was terrifying... and way more shit than thatl... US 25cent peices once manifested inside my home before it was burned down with us inside it, one right behind me, and when i leanred down to pick it up, another in a different room hit the conrect floor EXACTLY acorss from where i was... the third landed rifht infront of where i had been sitting when i heard the first drop... i realized immediatluy that the pattern of the locations they dropped was a perfect Triangle... anyways... i shared a lot there sorry if its hard to understand... but I think they are Interdimensional.. and I had a Blue orb come into the place i was staying where they apparenbtly folllowed me from my home in Candler in 2019... and ... well I havent been the same ever since Ill just say... Its very very hard to explain but.. it changed me. And its both benificial and also terrifying and a experience i cannot find worfds for... i dont think i will ever be alone again... even when there is no othwr living thing around me... if that makes any sence?... i shouldnt ve talking about this. But I love you my friend~ Thank yu for being who you are! Rock On! -Van
I enjoyed your video on making fry bread. My first official fry bread was at a Pow wow in California. They had a stand making fry bread tacos. They were delicious. Thank you for sharing.
I love it.. your so funny. My granddaughters are half Navajo. Ive been trying to teach them fry bread, when theyre with me.. im not Navajo. But im learning from you. 😁😁
They taught me Nali Girl, for grandma. And Nali Man for grandpa .. is this correct?? They said they learned from their other grandma. Is that for paternal grandparents ??. I too have Twindians . granddaughters who are 11.... You have a great sense of humor. Thank you I enjoyed your video .

And in the Appalachian mountains we call it "corn pones"; and ill use corn meal and some flour. I'm looking forward to making yours though.
In my culture, it's called white girl with cookbook ancient recipe .

Get some carne asada from your local Mexican meat market. Grill it over an open fire and chop it up! Put it on your fry bread! Life changing!
My Uncle was native American and every member of his family including my cousin who was half native American died from heart disease before they turned 60 and every one of them ate the white mans food! I have a theory that some of the white mans food is not healthy for native Americans and if yeast was introduced to the native American diet by the white man maybe it should be avoided!

There's a story behind fry bread. It was a necessity. That's all the government gave them and they made the best of it.
They're nothing new. They just claimed it. Some one had to. I make them out of corn as well. Like a fried corn bread.
I have distant relatives in Four Corners. Their mother is Navajo. I met them last month. I tried to make fry bread last weekend and it didn't turn out bad, using the same ingredients.

Little advice. It actually comes out softer if your dough is a little moist. Which is done before covering with the towel. After you cover let it sit for 20-30 mins.
There's actually an easier way. Shortcut
Use Self-Rising flour instead. This flour already has salt and baking powder in it.

Centuries of experience? Yeah.... These aren't that old on the history books and they aren't vampires to live that long 😅

No such thing as indigenous anyway. People have lived in the Americas 150,000 years. It wasn't them. Dozens of human species that are extinct. Not related to any of us.
You can say Indian or native American. Its ok. 😅
Lol
Awesome video, you didn't miss a beat..wife, kids, and you kept on cooking.

@@shukriaapso8404 the indigenous did trade and share with the Europeans who came to North America,Turtle Island before the Europeans started genocide to steal "America". Canada back in colonization didn't have war against Indigenous from the crown but the crown did steal their lands. Lots of trade and sharing especially with the French and Indigenous in Canada so the recipes would have been taken back to European countries.
What part were you in in Utah ?
Navajo people were kept in internment camps and given only very basic ingredients like flour and animal lard to survive on so they often would make fry bread because the US army didn't provide prepared food much. Hispanics in New Mexico also make "sopapillas" which come from fried bread that was made in the south of Spain by the Mozarabic people. The word comes from a German word "suppa" which meant bread soaked in oil.
In any case Navajos (and other Indigenous Americans) adopted foods from Europeans and European settlers adopted foods from indigenous Americans.
This bread looks AMAZING the entire meal looks so delicious! Also you were so entertaining to watch! Thank you!
Hi I'm native American Indian I'm Cherokee and I was never taught how to make fried bread I just made it God bless your beautiful family. I love making Navajo fried bread I even make cinnamon sugar fried bread and it's really good
Good morning! Frybread & stew looked delicious 🤤 Navajo Man you’re hilarious 😂🤣😂
Thank you for sharing✨
Thank you Michelle ❤️
Way to go Navajo Joe , ugh
I'm Raza from Michoacan. We make the same bread. It's definitely native to our people's food. We have the same food.
I loved this video, thank you for the laughs! You should definitely do more cooking videos.👨🍳 You are hilarious! 😂
Was in kindergarten in Paige, Az. In the 70’s. Had a great friend and a girl friend who were Navajo. Good people.
I love your vlogs!!!!You always make me laugh! Thank you , brother. You dont know how many homes you reach with your humor, and positive energy. I also would like to know how i can get your apron. Your fry bread measurement is hilarious. Im watching the blog from my hogan in Sanders, Az. May the Creator always bless you and your family.
You can order it online. Link is in the description of the video. Thank you for watching as well ❤️
The best fry bread video ever! Awesome bread lesson & mad funny Teacher 😂😂 I love the real visual family in the back round just going about their day! Keep teaching brother you're Blessed with making folks laugh & great recipes I enjoy your channel! I subscribed! 🧘♀️👊🙏💫
Aloha from Hawai'i 🤙I enjoyed this video! Mahalo for sharing. I traveled/drove across the country a while back and made a stop at Four Corners to show my niece and nephew. We had the fry bread there (our first time tasting) and we liked it, along with the local crafts and local artisans. What a special experience.
I love Navajo fry bread. I lived near the Navajo people years ago .. they are the nicest people you ever met. I love their culture and traditions. Navajo tacos are yummy too. Blessings you you sir. Now. I want to make navajo bread today. Happy Holidays .. 😊
I absolutely love this video! I lived in Montana for 12 years of my life. Met various individuals from different tribes throughout Montana & the west. Great friends of mine. I love Fry Bread and it's a very versatile concoction that can be savory or sweet. Thank you 🤗💪🤟
I lived in Billings, Montana for 2 years and there was a restaurant there that featured Indian fry bread.
When I was in my early 20s, my excellent friend and roommate was Cree and she would make bannock for us but she left it much thicker and more doughy and sometimes baked it. I recently went to a Seminole Arts Festival and my kids and I and our friends kept purchasing more and more fry bread and NDN tacos. So good!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing we appreciate the support. Also thanks for watching. More to come!
Interesting in our Mexican culture we use the same ingredients to
Make flour tortillas. But don’t fry them after we roll into little balls. We flatten them in a thin round shape(mini pizza)lol. Then cook them on brown on a skillet
We also used the masa for the tortillas and fried it and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar, and it was called a bunuelo.
@@deebell8727 I fry flour tortillas same as the fry bread here.. They puff up the same... It adds a lot of flavor and makes a delicious taco! I make Sopapillas like that from regular flour tortillas as well ... just cut the flour tortillas in quarters and fry..
@@TxDan100 will try that! I have never fried flour tortillas other than to make bunuelos.
Thanks for sharing. Tune in from Washington state. Good fry bread have a nice day. ❤
So simple but yet complicated 😊 I loved this video. Thanks for sharing you culture with us.
You cook like i do. I can't give anyone a recipe because i rarely measure anything. And you are funny like my friend Pete. Pete is Dene and Cree from Canada.
I love your sense of humor and I love your fry bread looks wonderful!
Fun video! I'm split on how to feel about Fry Bread. On one hand, its a comfort food made out of necessity and now a tradition. On the other, it is not part of the native diet prior to populations being forced on to reservations and somewhat unhealthy.
So what
@@blackfoot7488
Fry bread feeds diabetes
Same for all carbs/sugar
Still healthier than drinking Pepsi all day
Every Native American loves fry bread but little do we all know, the the only reason why it’s our most “known meal” is because that’s all the white men ever gave us.
@@RamBam84 absolutely true! Lot of white obese people walking around so people shouldn’t judge
You are so cute!😂😂😂 Thank you, my Mother in law would only make fry bread on special family get togethers. Usually the dough was already made when we would get to the house. I would only see her form the fry breads to cook. She always put a hole in the middle before frying. We usually ate them like a tostada. With meat, and beans on top. (I regret never asking her to teach me) My Father in law was Navajo, from NM. I am the whitest Lakota you will ever meet. Lol (on my Mom's side from N D), but I cook with my Ancestors too. I tell people, enjoy, cause I don't have a recipe, and we may never eat this again. My Ancestors were singing to you. I said you like him. They said Very much!❤
Blue bird is the BEST flour, PERIOD. Thanks for recipe share. Always like new ways of cooking fry bread!
My ex husband native American family made fry bread..it's so good!!
Sounds like the same ingredients..I wanted to know how..thank you.
Navajo Fry Bread is the best. I lived in AZ for yrs & miss it so very much. So glad to watch you and get the info. Thank you Thank you.
My grandmother is METIS and I remember her making this. It was delicious. Still make it!
I’ve only had Navajo fry bread once-many, many years ago. Loved it so much. Never trusted myself to attempt to cook some for my family. You’ve inspired me to finally give it a try. 🙏🏼 Thanks!
Go spirit brother ....is your name stirring mud........from when you were a kid......thank you brother.....
Very nice fried bread. I have been making it for years. In my country, Argentina, we call it tortas fritas, It is the same recipe. Saludos from Graciela In Tampa, Florida.🎉🎉🎉
I have family in AZ and we always use to get fry bread. So delicious. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your time in showing us how to make fry bread, I loved it when traveling thru AZ and can’t wait to try it, just have to get a iron skillet 😁
I gave a "thumbs 👍🏻 up" for your ancestors 😂😂
Dalllas, Texas sending my love
❤️
I'm a dopy white guy, and I LOVE your humor.
Morton’s salt when it rains it pours. The girl with the umbrella. I love this recipe.
2 girls Mortons🧂& Clabber Girl baking powder
Never🤔noticed the 2 girls til' today🤭
I was bornin Gallup NM and LOVE Navajo tacos. I didnt know how to make the bread! Thanks for the first thing i needed!!!
I been making fry bread and I use so much clabber girl that I’m buying the big size these days. 😂 Sloppy joes on fry bread my recent jam. 😋 I also rock a dry towel lol. 😂
Yaateeh, Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I grew up in Gallup, New Mexico . After moving away it wasn’t until some 6 years later that I had some fry bread. I’m gonna make some using your recipe and this weekend. Hopefully your ancestors will help me while add my ingredients 🙏 Lol!! Best Wishes AG
Who knows I may be eating the best fry bread in East Texas😂.
You make me miss Gallup! I grew up there and miss the food, the people, and the red rocks so much! Thank you!!❤🙏✨🕊️❤️
It loo🙂ks so light and fluffy.
I've made these for 50 years. My grandma made these since about 1907. She taught my mom , and mom taught me. I've passed it down to my daughter and granddaughters. Most of us lived in St. George UTAH. Many people ate this amazing bread. Although we used yeast.. think I'm going to make yours right now. Thanks for the lesson .
I stopped at a Navajo roadside stand in New Mexico and had what they called a Navajo burger. It was fried bread with ground buffalo patty, cheese and a roasted green chilli pepper. It was amazing. That was just outside Shiprock, NM about 15 years ago.
Your fry bread looks beautiful like the people of your nation. I love the way you make your fry bread.
Aloha from an Indigenous brother from Hawaii, yes, I agree on listening to your ancestors when cooking and such. Awesome channels 🤙
"A little more fir the ancestors" that was funnyand great !
Alaskan Eskimo
I was smiling all the way through your video. I have made fry bread with buttermilk. I’m going to try your recipe. Keep making these i learn, laugh and have a new recipe…ill add from the 4 winds. 😊.
I always wanted to learn how to Make fry bread I think I will try it after I seen this video. Thanks for the inspiration bro.
Yum yum looks good! thank you for sharing your recipe. I would like mine with honey please 🍯💛🌺
I grew up around some one that was born in the four corners he made us Navajo Tocos frome time to time. His family took my family in 1979 to the four corners for a week so vacation. Whent to a powwow in gallop in some big stadium really cool. But the best part was we camped in a place called squaw point. And he made Navajo tocos out in the middle of nowhere. Our bread would do everything you did but I remember him telling me that he put yeast in his. All I now is fry bread is absolutely wonderful.
Right on 👍🏻😊👍🏻 just discovered your channel in my feed on RUclips, love Fry bread have had it many times at my local Powwows ( Mashontucket and Narragansett Indigenous Powwows) I liked and subbed to your Channel, Thank you for sharing your recipe for Navajo Fry bread 😊❤
Thank you very much for coming across our channel. We appreciate it and feel free to share.
I loved watching you go through the process of making the fry bread. I tried making it in the past, and mine was a disaster. I never learned how to knead dough before. I did not let the dough rest. And then, my oil was too hot, so my fry bread was burned a little and flat like a pancake. Yuck! But I ate it anyway. Ha ha!
We hope you try again and it turns out right this time
Thank you for showing us your recipe. I’ve always heard that fry bread is delicious. Now I’ll try to make it myself. I’m not Native American. My 4th great grandma was Shawnee but I would say I’m white with great cheekbones lol.
I'm part Blackfoot, and I have the cheekbones too. My grandkids say I'm a squirrel and I'm smuggling nuts. Then as their baby fat wore off they all found out that they all had the same cheeks. 😅
Oooo! I love it when it's cooked golden brown! Yes! Like u said, when it's done golden brown it's good not dark brown it's burned! My brother cooks too! I made fried bread too once in a while! 😋
Love your sense of humor
Hello My Friend! I just discovered you on Peter's Video! I love what you are doing! I am Van Calloway, I am mostly a white man, ( But like almost every silly white man around here, I have part Cherokee blood apparently, but I dont claim to be of Native descent.. I dont want to insult those whom I respect, and pray i havent done so....And I didnt know that my great grandother was from what i am told, full Cherokee untill i was in muy 30s.. so.. thats kinda sad.. anyways.. )
With that said, and either way, I appreciate and love what you are doing here! I am so gratful to know that there are young men out there in the world, willing to share the culture and the beauty of the lands of your anscestors and the ways of your people!
I cant stress just how gratful I am for what you are doing here, by sharing your knowledge and your life.. trying to maintain the old ways, the language and the education that should be taught to ALL of the First People Tribes and should be considered a "national treasure".... Because the real culture of this land was ... defiled.. by white anscestors... I am so very very ashamed of that... I pray you accept my humble and honest sorrow and remorse for thier behaviour and actions... it is to this day, unforgivable... SO i wont ever ask for that.. Anyways, I love what you are doing sir, and I am so so glad you are doing it! I will share your channel in the hopes that it will earn you more subs! I pray you can make a huge thing out of this!! and that You and Your Family and your extended Family, and both You and Your Wife's Tribes Flourish and only grow to gain power and respect and the sacred places that have been stolen from you back... I thank you for the effort and time and open and honest friendship and sharing you showed so so so many millions of people like myself, who will remember and value seeing the lands and hearing your teachings, its truly a treasure and I value it!
I look forward to watching your videos from now on! Thank you brother! With Respect, Love, and the desire to see you succeed in any and all things that you pursue in your life!
Sincerly-
Van L Calloway - Asheville/Canton North Carolina.
OH P.S. My Friend... ( I am an "Experiencer" and I have seen more UFO ( both light orbs and actual physical appearing objects) Than I can even begin to count... like I had been keeping count back in 2007 alone, but in that year alone in Haerrisonburg VA... i sropped bothering to count.. it was constantly there at night when i went out to smoke.I have also now i believe encountered 2 "entities"... I have never seen a "Grey" or been taken on a ship to my knowledge or whatever they hell they are and if they even have "ships"... but the entities I encountered werent Greys... or whatever. As a matter of fact i believe the first one was some sort of Dark and Horrific thing beyond any language i can grasps ability to describe accuratly.. It paralyzed me and it was in a huge cornfield up in VA in summer of 2007... it was the most terrifying and un-manning thing i have ever known... and I wouldnt wish it on Adolf frickin Hitler... it was... like being near a sentient, God-Like, Living Black Hole ( I coud NOT look directly at it,,.whatever IT was.. it was roughly shaped like a ..a.. Sarcophagus? Standing up> A HUGE one.. like 13' tall and 4' wide!.. and its surface looke dlike it was made of Boiling Roiling SHadow with little candle lights that just barely didnt break the surface if its.. uhm.. boiling black skin??... Its IMPOSSIBLE.. to describe it.. and it moved just like what Ezekiel in the Book of the Bible says those 4-headed things moved like.. it didnt walk, I dont know if it even hjad a head and eyes and arms and legs... it just shot forward and backwards...VERY VERY VERY lightning fast... like.. UFO-Fast... and its appearance is nearly impossible to descirbe because my mind/eyes burned when i first saw it , i was ohysically paralyzed, and only my eyeballs werent paralyzed. And i felt its presence a split second before it appeared over to my left in this massive cornfield at about 6pm in Harrisonburg VA, and stoppe don a dime.. when my eyes darted over and I looked DIRECTLY at it for only a SPLIT SECOND... It felt like my MIND AND EYES were Watering and buyrning anf I felt this OPRESSION and DARKNESS and unbelievable FEAR... FEAR isnt the Word, TError is to what i felt that day like Microscopic is to Galatic Sized.... if that makes sence? Anwyays.. sorry... so... uhg...
.. I mean I am an experiencer to the pooint that I am fairly certain my home and my family was nearly burned alive in a horribly obvuous home arson that occured in broad daylight... ( i know this sounds nuts... but i am dead serious)im almost absolutely certain that the CIA or someone wants my mothers land in Canton NC because in 2017 these Firey Orabe Orbs odf light started loitering outside every night, and when i looked at them, it was like they were looking back at me.. ( they were in 3 different areas around my home in the neighborhood wooded areas... most people wouoldnt notice them ans if they did they would think they were street lamps.. but they were LOOKING BACK AT ME.. and they arent human... I dont know what "they" are... but UI know they meant me nothing GOOD... and that I started experiencing HORRIFYING things ALL NIGHT everything untill May 17th 2020, when someone who had left 2 bizzaro threats on my porch for me when i had left home overnight ... they waited and knew somehow that i had finnaly after 3 days fallen asleep, after being awake for 3 days scared to death someone was going to kick the door in and shoot me foer some reason... But at 1pm in broad daylight after i had JUST laid down in the next room on my bed with my finacee... someone used a window on the backporch that wouldnt lock anymore and i used often to climb into my house ( they myst have knowbn about it because of watching me do that).... and they litteraly firebombed my lioving room and burned my jmothers family home down.... i was homeless for allmsit 2 years before i got some assistance throuyfgh mental health places... anwyays yeagh... I see them... it comes and goes ... but i had 3 visions oer sdownloads as well one each year from 2017 till 2019... and gher last one has something to do with a day thats coming soon where we all wake up and the sky is as Red as it is Blue.... and everything is never the same again,.. I pray i am just crazy and this day never comes... I dont know what it is but i have this information thats been placed inside my head and every so often little spurts of it come out...in conversation about thgese topics.... I dont think those entities, whatever they may be.... are from another World, I am fairly sure from my personal experience they are from RIGHT HERE... but RIGHT HERE, On the other side... ive got videos of the main one that i felt was the one targetting and doing hirrifying shit like Poltergheist activety, it was like Pandoras Box... poltergheist shit, i came to 5 times paralyzed and frozen and covere din a paper thin sheet of this weird ice that slowly metled, and my eyes were wide open eveery time... it was terrifying... and way more shit than thatl... US 25cent peices once manifested inside my home before it was burned down with us inside it, one right behind me, and when i leanred down to pick it up, another in a different room hit the conrect floor EXACTLY acorss from where i was... the third landed rifht infront of where i had been sitting when i heard the first drop... i realized immediatluy that the pattern of the locations they dropped was a perfect Triangle... anyways... i shared a lot there sorry if its hard to understand... but I think they are Interdimensional.. and I had a Blue orb come into the place i was staying where they apparenbtly folllowed me from my home in Candler in 2019... and ... well I havent been the same ever since Ill just say... Its very very hard to explain but.. it changed me. And its both benificial and also terrifying and a experience i cannot find worfds for... i dont think i will ever be alone again... even when there is no othwr living thing around me... if that makes any sence?... i shouldnt ve talking about this. But I love you my friend~ Thank yu for being who you are! Rock On!
