FRIED BREAD (I CALL IT BANNOCK)



Fried Bread (I Call It Bannock) image

This has taken me 9 years to perfect. First I was given the dry ingredients then for about 4 years I made it one way, then I seen my cousin make hers and knowing she comes from an awesome Fried Bread making family I tinkered with the water until I got the right consistency, that was another 5 years. The cooking time includes the minimum amount of time it needs to sit.

Time 1m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together and cover and let sit AT LEAST 1 hour if not longer, the longer is sits the fluffier it will be. When you mix it together there might be a little flour left and slightly sticky that is okay. This is the type of fried bread you will be picking up to shape.
  • After it sits, heat up some oil for deep-fat frying, I use a deep-fryer at home too. You can use a skillet filled with about 1 inch of oil. Heat until 375 F, or a small piece bubbles and browns in a couple minutes. When ready to fry, oil your hands and counter top. Divide dough into 3-4 pieces, When you cup your hands together like you are holding something you don't want to get away that is the amount of dough you want. Then pat it out to just a little bigger then your whole hand and put into the oil. Fry on one side until nice and golden brown, it can be a couple minutes to 5 minutes depending on what you are using, a frying pan will take less time and a deep fryer will take longer but is more safe way of frying. When golden using tongs flip over and fry on the other side until nice and golden.
  • Take out and drain on paper towel, and eat with butter and jam, serve as a side bread, or top with chili, cheese, lettuce and tomato for Indian Tacos.
  • I use oil to shape because it helps the dough not to stick to your hands and it keeps your oil cleaner because you won't have flour coming off the fried bread and falling to the bottom. At home I usually make it to serve with chili or soup, and the rare occasions we eat it for breakfast. We try not to eat it too often because we will get fat hahaha.

Tips:

  • Use the right flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for bannock, but you can also use whole wheat flour or a blend of the two. If you are using whole wheat flour, you may need to add a little more water to the dough.
  • Don't overwork the dough: The dough should be just combined, with no dry spots. Overworking the dough will make the bannock tough.
  • Let the dough rest: Letting the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before frying will help it to develop flavor and rise slightly.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help to prevent the bannock from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned pan, you can grease it with butter or oil.
  • Fry the bannock over medium heat: Frying the bannock over medium heat will help it to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the bannock once: Only flip the bannock once during cooking. Flipping it too often will make it dry out.
  • Serve the bannock warm: Bannock is best served warm, but it can also be eaten cold.

Conclusion:

Fried bannock is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings and fillings. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a special treat, fried bannock is sure to please.
