High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fried bread (also spelled frybread or fry bread, also known as bannock) is a Native American food, found throughout the United States. Frybread is a flat dough fried or deep-fried in oil, shortening, or lard. The dough is generally leavened by yeast or baking powder. Topped with additions such as beans, ground beef, or shredded cheese, frybread is served as Indian tacos or Navajo tacos. If sweetened, or served with sweet toppings such as honey or powdered sugar, frybread is very similar to an elephant ear or to the confection simply known as fried dough. Frybread has a significant role in Native American cultures. It is often served both at home and at gatherings like pow-wows and state fairs. Frybread was named the official "state bread" of South Dakota in 2005. Also in 2005, frybread became the center of a controversy involving its role in obesity and diabetes among Native Americans. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that a plate of fried bread consists of 700 calories and 27 grams of fat. Frybread is also known in South American cooking as cachanga.
