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 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 PIZZA AS MADE BY PAUL NATRALL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Slowly add the water and mix with your hands until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into 4 pieces.
• Working with 1 piece at a time, roll and stretch out the dough on a generously floured surface to 6-8 inch rounds.
• Top each dough round with 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce, 4 slices of prosciutto, 5 slices of fresh mozzarella, 4 halved cherry tomatoes, and 3 torn basil leaves.
• Transfer 1 pizza to a stone pizza oven heated to 900°F (480°C) and cook for 4 minutes, rotating the pizza halfway, until the cheese is melted and the crust is puffy and charred in spots. Repeat with the remaining pizza. (Alternatively, preheat a standard oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone inside while you make the pizzas. Cook the pizzas 1 at a time on the heated stone for 8 minutes, rotating halfway.)
• Drizzle another tablespoon of barbecue sauce on top of each pizza, then garnish with more basil and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

FRIED BANNOCK

Steps:

• Mix half the flour with the remaining dry ingredients.
• Add water until the mixture becomes thick, "like a paper mache paste".
• Add more flour until the dough feels like a soft earlobe.
• Heat the oil or lard over a medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking.
• Break off small pieces of the dough and flatten each to the size of your palm, about 1/2-inch thick.
• Place the pieces in the hot oil, turn after about 3 minutes, or when golden brown.
• Place the bannock on a paper towel to soak up the excess grease.
• Serve plain or with jam.

IRISH BANNOCK

Steps:

• 1. Preheated oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside.
• 2. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture with pastry cutter. Add buttermilk until dough is soft. Stir in currants and raisins.
• 3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth. Form dough into a 7 inch round. Place on prepared baking sheet (or you can use an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan, greased). Using a sharp knife, score a 1/2 inch deep cross on the top. This allows the loaf to expand.
• 4. Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm with butter or jam.

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

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients and berries, then slowly mix in enough water to make a stiff dough. Roll it out (unrugged) or form it with your hands (rugged) and then either fry it in a bit of oil, bake it or you can even "GRILL IT!". Brush the grill with oil. Grill it over medium heat, lid down for about 5 minutes per side, tops.

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.

NATIVE CREE BANNOCK BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl, mix the flour and lard together by hand, and then add the baking powder, salt and the currants, raisins or sultanas.
• Next, add the water and work the ingredients into a dough.
• Now, you have two options: the camp fire or the oven.
• To cook over a camp fire, divide the dough into four lumps and firmly wrap each lump around the end of a four foot stick and prop securely over the fire until golden brown.
• To cook in an oven, spread the dough out into a 16" square cake pan.
• Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
