Fry Bread is a traditional Native American dish with deep cultural significance. Made from a simple mixture of flour, water, salt, and baking powder, the dough is shaped and fried in oil until golden brown. Its texture is light and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy exterior. Fry Bread originated as a resourceful cuisine during times of hardship, often prepared with government-issued commodities. While it is rich in calories and fats due to the frying process, it provides energy and is a versatile base for savory or sweet toppings, such as beans, meat, honey, or powdered sugar. However, frequent consumption is not ideal for those managing fats and refined carbs. It remains an iconic food, celebrating resilience and community, and can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
