Hello Diana,
Before America was colonized by Europeans, there was no wheat flour in the Americas.
The Spanish, English, French and other settlers brought wheat and wheat flour with
them to America.
When the US government took the Native Americans' lands and sent them to live on
reservations, the native peoples could no longer hunt game and gather their normal
foods such as corn and squash. They were given bags of flour and other items by the
US government.
From this unfamiliar wheat flour, Native American women developed a flatbread that
they quick-fried in lard. This was the origin of fry bread.
Fry bread quickly became a popular traditional Native American food, particularly
among the Hopi and Navajo peoples, but also among many other tribes. "Fry bread" is
also known as "squaw bread".
There is a recipe below.
There's one recipe on my site here:
Fry Bread
And other recipes at:
More Fry Bread
Phaed
Navajo Fry Bread
Ingredients
3 cups unbleached flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 Tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups "warm" water
Preparation
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. Sift or stir together.
Add the "warm" water to this mixture and stir until mixed well.
Put oil on your hands; remove dough from bowl and knead until the dough is smooth.
When the dough is smooth & soft, rub oil over the top of your dough.
Place back into the bowl, cover with a dry cloth & let rest for "30" minutes.
Begin heating your lard, oil, or grease so it is very hot.
Pull egg-sized pieces of dough off and roll them into very thin circles 3-4" across.
Drop circles into the hot grease until golden brown, then turn over until golden
brown on the other side as well. (Make sure there's enough oil/grease for deep frying)
Eat plain, or with butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar and/or honey sprinkled on top.
U. P.,
I gave up on finding the recipe and tried to recreate
it. (I must be old.)
I offer this back to you in honor of your helpfulness
to mankind.
This works. And it is excellent. It simply does
NOT stay around overnight, and everyone who tastes
it wants the recipe.
Cheers!

Lipton Onion-Soup Mix Bread
===========================
Make a 1-1/2 to 2 lb regular white bread dough.
We use a bread machine. Let it raise and
punch it down once.
When it raises again, roll it out into a reasonably
thin rectangle.
Butter it. Sprinkle a package of Lipton Instant
Dry Soup mix on it. Sprinkle shredded cheddar
cheese liberally on it all the way out to
the edges.
Now here's the trick to get the layers.
Roll it up tightly along the long side to make a long
(rather than short) cylinder.
Slice the cylinder in half lengthwise along its axis
and gently lay the two half-cylinders apart on a
baking sheet to finish raising for perhaps another
20 minutes.
Bake and slice. The cheese is like a mortar holding
the differently sized layers together.
