For a variation, you can add diced potatoes and chopped onions to the mix right before baking. Serve this as a burrito, wrapped in a flour tortilla, or as a stuffing for enchiladas. Serve leftovers with tortiallas and eggs for breakfast. -- posted by wildheart

Pinto Bean Bread

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 19:20:04 -0400

Delicious, light, different high protein bread. A great use for leftover beans, if you ever have any. You can leave out the middle rising but the bread will be more dense. -- posted by wildheart

I got this recipe from a friend when I was in the tenth grade. She gave me one at lunch and I loved it! (I love banana bread, so this was perfect!) I asked for the recipe that day and I decided to post it! I hope you like it! -- posted by Bec

Indian Sqaw Bread

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 15:26:04 -0500

I made this for my children when they wanted donuts for breakfast and I didn't want to get out just as my Mother did for me growing up. It's inexpensive and quick to make. My friends and I now enjoy them with our morning coffee get togethers. The biscuits puff up to just the right bite size. -- posted by Country Cook in Oklahoma

Apricot Almond Cinnamon Jam

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 15:59:46 -0400

I just made this up. I wanted something different than the usual apricot jam so I added some almond extract and cinnamon. When you open the jar you can smell the almond but it isn't overpowering. They both are mostly a background taste. It is a softer jam but not syrupy. Great on bread with peanut butter. UPDATE: It did jell up after about a month. -- posted by tasb

Fried Bread (I Call It Bannock)

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 15:48:38 -0500

This has taken me 9 years to perfect. First I was given the dry ingredients then for about 4 years I made it one way, then I seen my cousin make hers and knowing she comes from an awesome Fried Bread making family I tinkered with the water until I got the right consistency, that was another 5 years. The cooking time includes the minimum amount of time it needs to sit. -- posted by tasb

Breakfast Bannock

I got this idea from a Native American chat group I am part of. I made this at work and it premier day I sold 5 which is pretty good. I use my Fried Bread Recipe#160307. It turns out fluffy so you have to add this on top. -- posted by tasb

Sweet Fry Bread - Enough for an Army!

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 21:52:17 -0400

First time I had this was during "Indian Taco" day for hot lunch at the school where I was a teacher on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. This was served at all the pow-wows out there! A friend's mother gave me her recipe; they make it for a church fund-raiser in Rapid City, South Dakota. GREAT FOR O.A.M.C. PLANNED OVERS! -- posted by Debber

Amy's Favorite Indian Fry Bread Tacos

Wed, 02 May 2007 15:32:04 -0400

This is my daughter's absolute favorite meal and she requests it any time she can. She always has me make it for her new boyfriends' first meal at our house. Hopefully I can stop making them for that occasion because I really like her current boyfriend (UPDATE 2008: Guess I have to keep making these 'cuz the boyfriend turned fiance ended up being a DUD) :-)! Everyone always gives this meal great reviews and although it is a bit time-consuming, it is very much worth it! Start the Meat and Bean Mixture first and then when you take the lid of the pan to reduce the liquid, start the Fry Bread recipe so that they are still warm when you are ready to serve. -- posted by Sooz Cooks
