I wonder when Mandy asked for "squaw bread" if she might be referring to Fry Bread. Taking sweet yeasted bread dough (or even plain), and rolling it into a small round, dropping it it hot oil like frying a doughnut, then applying a little sugar to it. My mother used to make these for stormy day treats and they were wonderful. letoile i wondered that, too - my MIL called this "frogs," and she made them out of flattened pieces of leftover bread dough. But I do believe, from my research, that she was referring to a dark, molasses sweetened bread. Thanks for you input, though - always interesting to hear other people's family memories. PJH
