September 19, 2024

Discover a rich history and savory tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation with WoodenKnife Indian Fry Bread Dough from Baker Boy.

WoodenKnife Mfg. Company, a Native American-owned business started by Ansel WoodenKnife and located in the shadows of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, has long marketed a popular dry mix for making Indian Fry Bread. Based on an authentic Sioux recipe passed down through several generations, the mix became very popular among those looking for a more convenient way of producing a delicious Indian Fry Bread.
