South Dakota designated fry bread as the official state bread in 2005. Also known as "squaw bread" in some areas, fry bread is a native American food - a flat dough (usually leavened with yeast or baking powder) fried or deep-fried in oil, shortening, or lard.
Fry bread is served with sweet toppings such as honey or powdered sugar, or as a "Navajo taco" with toppings such as beans, ground beef, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
