Navajo Fry Bread originated around the mid-to late 19th century as a survival food for Indigenous people who were forced to relocate from their homelands. The Navajo people turned U.S. government rations into fry bread. This quick bread is fluffy, delicious and the perfect bed for spiced ground bison from Force of Nature meats and organic heritage tepary beans from Ramona Farms. Your instructor, Nadia is eager to share this dish she first discovered about 10 years ago at an Austin Pow Wow.
During class, you will learn a little more about how this high-gluten quick bread came to be and the journey that forced the Navajo and many other tribes to adapt to the new diets being imposed upon them. Nadia is sourcing some very special ingredients for class that support businesses who use similar practices to your favorite stone-milled flour facility. She is showcasing our beautiful Texas grown Hopi Blue Cornmeal and BSM Heritage Flours, curating a flavorful fry bread you will definitely make again. Come taste some history and celebrate Native American heritage month with us!
About your instructor & BSM Education Center Co-Director, Nadia Rodriguez:
I got my culinary degree in 2018 but have been working in the culinary industry for 10 years now, with both savory and pastry experience. My passion for cooking started early with my grandmother, and I believe cooking is sharing love. I adore Italian, Asian and Latin cuisines. I love to curate flavors for individuals and make something unique and one of a kind. I love sharing the knowledge I have gained and showing how amazing ingredients such as Barton Springs Mill flour and the attitude you bring toward those ingredients can truly transform food into an experience. My ethos is to have fun, do it with love, and you can't go wrong. :)
