Bannock

Jun 24, 2024 | Recipes

Bannock is a type of fry bread that originated in Scotland. It was brought to Canada, where the indigenous people adopted it. Bannock can be breakfast, brunch or with a cup of tea. To make it extra Canadian, serve it with maple syrup.

Ingredients 

1 cup all purpose flour (or gluten free flour)
1 tsp aluminum free baking powder
1/4 sea salt
2 tbsp neutral oil, such as avocado oil
1 tbsp filtered water, as needed
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Preparation 

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add raisins if using.
Mix in the oil and a bit of water at a time. It should just come together without being too wet or sticky.
Knead into a ball and then flatten to about 2 inches thick.
Fry in oil on medium heat for 5 minutes per side, or bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 325°.
Serve with pure maple syrup!
