What is Frybread?
Frybread is a Native American fried dough which may range fro bread-like to donut-like depending on the region, as many tribes use different recipes.
A standard frybread recipe typically includes flour, water, salt, a modest quantity of oil or lard, and occasionally baking powder or, less commonly, yeast. These ingredients are combined and kneaded into a basic dough, which is left covered with a cloth for 30 minutes to an hour to allow it to rise. The dough is then divided into small portions, shaped into balls, and either rolled out or stretched into flat discs before being fried in hot oil.
It may be eaten plain, salted, or with sugar or honey, or as a base for Navajo tacos.

And, Arrowroot powder is used as a thickener, like say in sauces, arrowroot becomes clear when cooked. Arrowroot is made from a tropical root plant whenever a recipe calls for starch.
