The Best Frontier Food I’ve Ever Made | How To Make Navajo Fry Bread

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Fry bread is pretty darned tasty! Good work.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Thanks, Santee! I was very pleasantly surprised! Made it a few more times since then!

[@TUCOtheratt]

Interesting combination of history and cooking. 😃

Great vidaayooo! Love fry bread one of the best things in AZ I’ve had

[@anangryranger]

The return of Chef Andrew!👨‍🍳 About every family on Pine Ridge had fry bread included in at least one meal. My great aunt used to add cinnamon to her dough and it was really tasty. 😊 Good video and good cause 👍

[@SaintAndrewTV]

I knew you’d like this one! Thank you very much! I might have to get back in there and make some more, but this time, add some cinnamon! I’m sure it won’t last too long on my plate!

[@anangryranger]

@@SaintAndrewTV Here's something of interest. Diabetes is a real problem on the rez. Mostly due to poor diet and heredity. But in my great aunt's family, and their descendents, it's almost nonexistent. She seasoned things with cinnamon, and I thought it was just something she did. However, a few years ago I ended up in the I.C.U. from a brutal diabetic incident. Was on insulin and numerous meds. I'm terrified of needles. I looked for something to eliminate all that. Altered my diet. Loads of vitamins and minerals. And cinnamon. Lots of it! And today no meds or needles. Research proved cinnamon to be a great controller for carbs and overall metabolism levels. And here I thought my great aunt Lucille was just an interesting cook. Turns out she was a dietary whiz! 😉

[@SaintAndrewTV]

@@anangryranger I do know that health is a big concern in the different nations. Dietary is a big one. Specifically why I want to give back! I didn’t know all that about cinnamon! I’ll have to look more into the health benefits of it! Can never be too healthy right? Side note: does Cinnamon Toast Crunch count? Lol

You are always so much fun! Thanks for the smile!

Thank you kindly!

10/10 great video! I appreciate that you did your due diligence on this recipe. That’s respectable and tasteful,no pun intended. Thank you Andrew!

[@LaurenBeltz]

Nice video! Fry bread is so good and now I respect this food and native culture even more. Makes me wonder about some other foods we don’t realize hold a grim history like bbq.

[@buckgulick3968]

Bobby Hill: "But dad, what do we do if someone asks for their steak well done?" Hank Hill: "We politely but firmly ask them to leave." (Your steak looked awesome...I know the bread is tasty from experience. So many variations throughout the eras. Todays like Tasting History, but with an American old west flair. Good show!)

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Haha! Thank you, pard!

[@bobb.1215]

Great stuff brother! I’ll have to make some and I’ll let you know how it turns out. I really hope you make more of the cooking videos cause I go camping a lot and they are so helpful! Especially the cowboy coffee one! 🙏🏼

[@AMTruckin]

I guess my Brazilian Mom (80 years old) does have some Navarro blood , because I grew up on that stuff back in southern part of Brazil 🇧🇷 😂

[@DonaldMaddox-cv6mg]

Awesome job l lived in Flagstaff l worked @ Safeway we would sell alot of Blue Bird 🐦 flour in a 20 pound bag & the lard in a 1 pound bucket 🪣 l think the bucket 🪣 was used for something after 😊

[@tylertapp131]

I love fry bread, been makin it for years, super simple and filling. I normally like to use, whole milk, sea salt, crushed pecans and brown sugar, every once in awhile i throw in some cinnamon. I just eyeball everythin lol always comes out great.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

That sounds phenomenal!

[@tylertapp131]

@@SaintAndrewTV awesome little breakfast when you dont have much or not as hungry.

[@SeanPat1001]

We sometimes get frybread when we go up to four corners and I always wondered about it. It seems strange to have a traditional Native American food made with flour. Thank you for clearing up the mystery for me and we may be trying this sometime soon. We like it with honey.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Oh man! I’ll have to give it a go with honey! Sounds fantastic!

[@iateaBibleonce]

ohhh this is like bannock in a lot of ways. i really appreciate these foods because they get at the heart of the inherent politics around food sometimes. i really love these cooking videos :3

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Thank you very much.

[@markf.4123]

It’s been a minute brother Andrew! Hope all is well, great video. Going to have the wife make some.

[@Bob-yg8zw]

I just made the bread. It’s so good!

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Awesome brother! I’m glad you liked it!

[@MilagroMadMan]

I have had fry bread in manny states and even in New Zealand, and by far the best is made on the Navajo rez… I am convinced it is the water that makes it so much better.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

It was damn good my friend! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@ericwilner1403]

Hmmm. I encountered fry bread years ago on a trip through the Southwest, but never got around to trying to make my own. Maybe I'll do so one of these days.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

You won’t regret it!

[@jackdorsey4850]

Dear SaintAndrey, Was this also known as the trail of tears?. How long do you fry per side?

[@SaintAndrewTV]

The Trail Of Tears started back in the East in the 1830’s and went to the 1850’s. But same idea from the US government with the displacement and inhumane treatment of indigenous peoples. I got a really good color on high heat at around two minutes per side.

[@jackdorsey4850]

It does look good! So I hate to say the ducks won over the Beavers. I'm still crying in my beer.😢 So I guess it will be the Huskies that will whip the ducks!😁

I remember making navajo fry bread in 7th grade for a school project, never expected that I a braindead football lineman and a bunch of room temperature iq brainlets couldve made really good bread.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

That one made me laugh!

[@WhatIfBrigade]

Maybe I'll make a gluten-free version. Don't cease to exist if you get celiacs, lots of gluten-free flour now.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

That’s the best news I’ve heard all day!

[@kennethhummel4409]

If quarter them they’ll cook better and be easier to handle in the hot oil. P.S. that is also an old hillbilly recipe… probably shown to them by a poor country boy as a way to use the government rations. it’s similar to confederate sloosh except sloosh is rolled into a dough snake and wrapped around a rifle ramrod & cooked over a campfire.

[@everready19373]

I tried some of that bread in a restaurant in Cortez Colorado, it was awful.

[@christiankirkenes5922]

I have access to a fire for the couple of days. I should see if i can shake down a skillet and give this a go! And ah....fair good fry 😆

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Let me know how it goes!

[@DesertRat.45]

Did you just appropriate someones bread? Its not just Navajo. I dont think Ive been to a pow wow that didnt have fry bread.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Well this wasn’t just a Navajo thing as essentially every nation was displaced by the government. I just happen to be in AZ.

​@@SaintAndrewTVthere are a couple cooking channels that give the recipe for fry bread. She's Navajo. She didnt give the inclination of anger if a white guy used her recipe.
