Breakfast Bannock Recipes

BANNOCK

Steps:

• Measure flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir to mix. Pour melted butter and water over flour mixture. Stir with fork to make a ball.
• Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead gently about 10 times. Pat into a flat circle 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
• Cook in a greased frying pan over medium heat, allowing about 15 minutes for each side. Use two lifters for easy turning. May also be baked on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.

EASY BANNOCK BREAD CELEBRATING #CANADA150

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
• Then add the olive oil and whisk together with a fork, gradually add water and stir until the dough almost holds together. Move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead about 10 times just until the dough comes together (the dough will be sticky, do not overknead).
• Divide into 5 balls and flatten with the palm of your hand. Fry in hot oil (350F/175C)on medium heat (enough to cover the bottom of a medium frying pan), until golden brown on both sides (and cooked on the inside). Drain on a paper towel lined plate and eat warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

BANNOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• 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. Make holes with a fork by poking it all around the dough from top to bottom.
• Then with your cookie sheet ready put the bannock onto cookie sheet and bake it at 375ºF until it becomes golden brown. Spread lard on the bannock when it comes out of the oven to keep it moist and delicious.

BANNOCK II

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, water and oil. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes. Let it rest for a minute, then spread out onto a cookie sheet to 1 inch thickness. Poke holes in the dough using a fork.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottom is golden when you lift up the bread to take a peek.

BANNOCK TWO WAYS

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.

BANNOCK

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
• Mix with enough water so that the mixture becomes a dough.
• Form into 4-6 large, thick patties.
• Fry on lightly oiled frying pan, turning when the bottom is golden.
• (You may also bake in the oven.) Good served warm.
• If desired, spread with honey, jam, butter, or peanut butter.
• Traditionally bannock would have been made with whatever ingredients were on hand.
• For example, adding blueberries if they're in season.
• This freezes well. Freeze, already baked, in a labeled ziploc bag with the air squeezed out as much as possible. To serve, bring to room temperature by removing from the bag and letting rest on the counter for a few hours. SPeed up the process, by baking or microwaving until the desired temperature is reached.

BREAKFAST BANNOCK

Steps:

• Make the fried bread.
• Meanwhile, mix together eggs, ham and green onion, scramble fry until almost done.
• Top with cheddar cheese, and let melt.

BANNOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Blend in shortening with your fingertips or a pastry blender just until mixture resembles coarse meal. Form a well in center and pour in buttermilk, stirring mixture with a fork until dough just comes together. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 3 or 4 times, then pat dough into a 1-inch-thick round.
• Transfer dough to an ungreased baking sheet and prick top all over with a fork. Bake in middle of oven until golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Transfer bannock to a rack and cool to warm. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.
