With the World being so uncertain, those who can’t find Yeast in their grocery stores and perhaps want to bake more! I bring you the latest recipe: Bannock Bread.
North American Indian Bread Recipe. It’s easy to make and does not have many ingredients – but It is “Deep Fried,” so if you are watching your waistline, find another recipe!
Indian Bannock Flat Bread Recipe!
I’ll warn you now – It’s the same recipe as Native Indian Bannock – You roll it out thinner!
My recipe comes from my childhood friend, who passed away in April 2019. She always made the best Bannock of any of my First Nation friends.
Even though I have her recipe – I can’t seem to duplicate her delicious Bannock!
If You’re a Virgin to Making Bread:
You will need to dirty some dishes! It’s essential in the bannock recipe to mix your dry ingredients by themselves, and you will also need to beat an egg in a separate bowl.
List of All Bannock Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cup of flour for the central mix
- 1/2 cup of flour for kneading surface
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 3 Teaspoons of baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup of Warm Milk
- Vegetable Oil for Deep Fring ( 1 Cup approx – varies on the Skillet size – but Ideally, you want 1/2 inch deep.
Directions for Making Bannock Flat Bread
Begin to Heat your oil in your Skillet – the ideal temperature is 400 degrees. ( or use a Deep fryer if you own one)
- Add all Dry Ingredients into a Medium-sized bowl ( 1 1/2 c of flour, 1/2 tsp salt and three teaspoons of Baking powder)
- In a separate small bowl – beat your egg till fluffy
- In a separate bowl or glass measuring cup – Microwave 1/2 cup of milk in the microwave for approximately 45 seconds.
- Add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until the sticky combined lump is in the middle.
Now add the additional flour (1/2 cup of flour) onto your counter or baking mat and begin kneading your ball to make it a raw dough mixture.
Roll it out until about 1/2 to about 1/4 inch thick ( If you don’t have a Rolling Pin – a Wine bottle works the same:)
Then I use a Pizza Cutter to cut shapes and sizes.
It’s not pretty! I won’t lie! But I believe in not overworking the bread. Less is more, in my opinion. I will only roll it out one time.
The Deep Frying Begins.
The time it takes will vary depending on the temperature of your oil. You want to see it brown on the bottom and then flip it – Unless you manage to cover the flatbread fully.
You will need to stand here and oversee it so you don’t overcook it and get your oil dirty.
Expect a few minutes per side ( 2-3 minutes)
