Navajo Frybread


ENOUGH with the comments about how this is easy. It’s a cooking art and takes patience and skill. How many of you can spin a pizza? I can’t! Take a compliment awready!

    @nemisisbeta Stupid white girl question: Who’s Stewie?

  • Rummelhart:

    @eveningstar1982 Ya welcome! But this is artisan frybread — there are more everyday versions for us household cooks. This woman is a MASTER.

  • eveningstar1982:

    I thought I knew how to make frybread, but this video shows me that there’s still something to learn. Especially with the spinning :) Thank you for this video :)

  • Rummelhart:

    @beone011 Yes, absolutely in agreement — which is why I only eat it at special events. It’s like any wonderful thing which is bad for us — we should eat it in moderation. AND I make whole-wheat frybread, in canola oil. Try it! Just soak the flour longer. It’s delish!

  • beone011:

    Frybread sure is good BUT the flour is BLEACHED white with bleach/poison. White flour has no nutrition at all. The lard is bad also. To my native brothers.

    The Journey is comin’ up — search “paddle makah” — and maybe — MAYBE — I can be on one of the boats…. WHOA!!

  • niqhtm00n:

  • Rummelhart:

    @ThePacinosmom Oh, thanks, start a Frybread War right here on my YouTube page. Should I get bandages?

  • ThePacinosmom:

    I agree, Navajo frybread is the best kind of frybread.

  • duh4201:

    Navajo fry bread is the best.

  • cyazzie101:

    This is an art!!!

  • Rummelhart:

    Because it’s an art — and any art requires 10,000 tries to learn to perfection. Who eats all the practice and learning frybread — or does that make for some very happy chickens or dogs? (Bread is the best stuff in the world — but bad bread is the WORST).

  • ershorty011:

    Maybe it’s Easyy to some ladies and young teen girls because they were taught when they were young, and have been making the bread for a long time. (native women im talking about)

  • Rummelhart:

    Oh, yes, I’ll certainly be filming for use on YouTube. Those of you from Neah Bay, I have films of the street during Makah Days, filmed for you away from home to see relatives and friends. Hope you enjoy! Yup, Hector’s our ancient cat — and as much a part of our family as we are. The man is my husband! Is he famous now? To follow more Neah Bay action on my site (when I go there), google: Clallamatbay My home/writing site is at google: donna barr blogspot

  • Cast3131:

    Please put a video of that on youtube. Okay, well I hope you find humor in what i’m about to say. I was crusing your channel page and I saw a video ‘Hector – still alive’ or something like that with a mans pic. I thought, well bless his heart!! Then I found out that Hector is a cat lmao. Anyhow, much funnier from my side im sure. That is great that you took those cats into your home and they found love. I subscribed to your page, just love it.

  • Rummelhart:

    This year, Neah Bay is hosting The Journey — the canoe paddle to Seattle. Google: The Journey Paddle

    All the celebrations will be something to see this year. I work as a freelance journalist and I’m looking forward to sending stories from Neah Bay. They have free wifi in the Marina parking lot, 24-7, so I can send stories and photos and not have to miss the evening events!

  • Cast3131:

    I’m a bit dumb on American geography, so I had to look up Neah Bay. Washington and Oregon are so bee-utiful. I picked as many berries as I could when I was there esp salmon and blackberries. Then I went back to Wyoming and they were $5.00 a pint!! But that sounds like the perfect 4th of July, yeah.

  • Rummelhart:

    When we go see that fireworks at Makah Days and Fourth of July in Neah Bay, we always get frybread with homemade blackberry jam and hot coffee. It keeps us warm on the cold beach all evening. Frybread and sparkly things in the sky…. mmmmm.

  • Cast3131:

    Don’t be silly. Even Rita..right off the rez ate it anyway she wanted. She ate it with honey..fried potatoes…mutton….beans…navajo taco. Is there a bible on how to eat frybread????? Whats important is when you cook for people it is an act of love..you want to nourish them. Just don’t attempt it if you don’t know how because they will end up like flying saucers.

  • Rummelhart:

    You should see my Gringa Tortillas. NOT FLAT. More like large corn dumplings. Ergh. And now I dare anybody to make Chinese noodles by hand. Dough is… incredible….Now I have to admit my favorite food on the entire planet is…. potatoes…..

  • Cast3131:

    White girl here…you have to remember that this skill is passed down for generations. My friend Rita tried to teach me and about laughed her ass off. There are things I can make that she can’t. All I know, is my final meal on earth will be frybread and diet pepsi.

  • Rummelhart:

    Skillzzz is RIGHT! Some people have been griping I took this film and put it up, but these women are ARTISTS. As an artist myself (Google: donna barr desert peach), I probably go a bit over the top when I see another artist in the middle of an amazing performance.

  • navajoAZtc:

    haha thatz my auntie skilllzzzzz!!
    and my cuz who is doin sumthin??
