1 cup water ( or milk)

Steps:

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. Make holes with a fork by poking it all around the dough from top to bottom.

Yield Each recipe serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 16

For Greg's Bella Coola Bannock:
2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
1 Tbsp (15 mL) white sugar
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp (30 mL) unsalted butter
1 egg
1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125 mL) whole milk
Oil, for frying
For serving: Maple syrup, flaky sea salt
For Doreen Crowe's Bannock:
2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
2 1/2 tsp (12 mL) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
3/4 to 1 cup (185 to 250 mL) water, to start
Oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For Greg's Bella Coola Bannock:
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut in the butter until the pieces are pea-sized. Mix in the egg, then pour in about 1/4 cup (60 mL) of milk. Mix together just until a dough forms, adding more milk if needed. Divide the dough into 10 to 12 biscuit-sized pieces. In a large frying pan, pour in about 1/4 inch (6 mm) of oil and heat over medium-high. When the oil is hot, fry the bannock-being careful not to crowd them-until golden brown. Serve immediately with maple syrup and flaky sea salt.
  • For Doreen Crowe's Bannock:
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and water together to form a dough. If the dough is a bit dry, add more water 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out into a 9×12-inch (23×30-cm) rectangle about 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick. Cut into approximately 3×3-inch (8×8-cm) squares. Heat about 1/4 inch (6 mm) of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, and fry the bannock-being careful not to crowd them-until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use all-purpose flour: This is the most common type of flour used for bannock and will give you a light and fluffy loaf. If you don't have all-purpose flour, you can substitute whole wheat flour or bread flour.
  • Baking powder is essential: This is what will help your bannock rise and become light and airy. Make sure you use fresh baking powder, as old baking powder may not work properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make your bannock tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rest before baking: This will help the dough to develop flavor and rise more evenly. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Bake the bannock in a preheated oven: This will help the bannock to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dense.
  • Check the bannock for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bannock. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bannock is done.
  • Serve the bannock warm: Bannock is best served warm, straight out of the oven. You can enjoy it plain, or with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

Bannock is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced baker, give bannock a try. You won't be disappointed!
