Authentic Indian Fry Bread is a popular Western American tradition. Serve it savory as Navajo Tacos or sweet as Navajo Waffles with honey butter and powdered sugar. Fry Bread is a traditional Native American dish. This one on the list is not ours. We’ve refined ours, and we keep the elements that make it unique. Tinpsula is one of them. This is a common diet among many Native Indian tribes, and it was one of the principal foods consumed by plains Indians. Although tinpsula makes our bread unique, there is much more to our Fry Bread production techniques.
