Bannock is a yeast free bread that can either be fried or baked. It is a staple in the diets of many North American indigenous groups. This version, originally submitted bannock recipe Janet F of Cumberland House, SK Canada, is baked.
Janet says this recipe: Makes the best bannock for any meal breakfast, lunch or supper even great for a snack when the kids are hungry and cannot wait for their meal. Some people fry their bannock, so that is an option too if you want to try that. Either way it looks so good. You can use bannock for so many things. I have even seen it used as a burger bun, pizza base or dessert, with lots of sweet toppings. It is used by many indigenous groups in North America and it’s delicious.
Mix all dry ingredients into a big bowl. Add water or milk and add the oil of your choice. Mix all ingredients together until the batter becomes like bread dough, not sticky. Put flour onto table surface then roll the dough with your fists for about 2 minutes, like making a bread dough. Pound the dough into a round ball then slowly expand the dough by making it nice and round about half inch thick and should be round like a pie plate. Then with your cookie sheet ready put the bannock onto cookie sheet and bake it at 375ºF until it becomes golden brown.

I added some shredded cheese I had to use up with a garlic spread. Definitely gonna continue to make with pastry flour.
And try frying it next time. Loving the bread though I want to know how long do you bake it for? 20 to 25 minutes should be good. 1 cup of water or milk plus the oil. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
