Tohono O’odham Frybread Workshop

Other Arts and Culture Cooking Classes

What’s Happening?

April 10, 10-11:30 am
$50/member, $60/non-member

Everyone loves Tohono O'odham frybread.  Not only is it delicious, but it is also diverse.  It can be a sweet delicacy when it is topped with honey, powdered sugar, or cinnamon sugar. It can also serve as the  base of more hearty foods like red chili or the Indian Taco when it holds beans, ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

Sherrie Cruz of Sheri's Traditional Foods will teach attendees how to prepare the dough, make the dough into small balls, heat the oil to the right temperature for frying, flatten out the dough, and safely place it into the hot oil to fry on both sides until the frybread is golden brown.

Sherrie grew up on the Tohono O'odham reservation in Santa Rosa Village.  She learned to make frybread by watching her grandmother and mother make it and other traditional foods over the years. Today, she continues the tradition for her children and grandchildren and others by showing how to prepare this tasty bread.

More about Presidio San Agustin del Tucson
At this re-creation of a Spanish fort built in 1775, experience a 150-year-old classic Sonoran Row house to see how houses were built before the railroad brought in the new building materials of that age. See archaeological remains of a pit house in the ground, and learn about the lives of early Native Americans. Our docents will take you on a tour of the Presidio Museum where you’ll discover how Tucson residents lived before air conditioning and cell phones. Kids of all ages can try out Presidio-era kids games in the box on the Territorial Patio and try on the cuera, the Presidio soldier’s version of chainmail, in the soldiers’ quarters. During our many Living History events, visitors enjoy demonstrations of blacksmithing, food preparation, and also see historical re-enactments, and soldier drills. We offer Tucson’s original historical walking tours. Our guides share their love of Tucson, keeping you entertained with interesting stories and facts.
