Bannock anybody?

Made some bannock for a snack. Sure didn’t last long! Gotta make a couple more tonight!

Nut butter huh??

Lol that’s what I have to take on my bad days!

Looks tasty. I always enjoyed touton bread when moose hunting in Newfoundland.

I love bannock.

I just googled touton bread, I’ve never heard of it before. Seems to be a Newfoundland thing. Looks good!

How do you cook it? I always thought bannock was a campfire recipe. If cooked in the kitchen I would just call it bread.

Bake it in the oven.

crazy Canadians.

I caught that too......won't catch me putting nut butter on MY bread!!!

Mom called it ndin bread. Little butter and honey come on! Love it

How is it made?

with love

Never had it...whats it taste like?

chicken

Oh ok

Love bannock cooked in the bush or at home.
Lots of ways to cook it,in the oven,by an open fire,or my favorite in the frypan(frybread).
Not everybody can make good bannock.

Love bannock hard to believe something so simple and yummy is so bad for you

Jurassic Park : Any chance of the recipe on that stuff?

If I tell you guys the recipe then you have to promise not to tell anyone, okay?
LOL!

There are many different recipes to make bannock. They mostly use the same ingredients, just different amounts of each.
You can bake it in the oven, fry In a frying pan, or cook it over a fire. Some people will add raisins, but for me that ruins it!

Here’s the way I do it:

3 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 cup margarine

Roughly 1 cup of milk

Mix the 4 dry ingredients together then add the margarine and mix it all together with your hands. Once the margarine is mixed in as best as you can, slowly add a little bit of milk at a time and mix it until the dough is kinda soft and doughy, but not sticky. Don’t pour all the milk in at once. Pour a little bit, then mix with your hands, pour a bit more milk, mix with your hands, pour a bit more milk, etc.

If the dough gets sticky, you added too much milk. So add small amounts at a time till it’s just right!

Once it’s the proper consistency you got to start kneading it for a while. The more love you put into this part the better your bannock will be.

Get a cookie pan out and put some margarine all over it then spread your dough onto the pan about an inch thick.

Bake that in the oven at 425F for 25-30 mins. Just watch it and when it’s a nice golden brown color you can take it out.

I hope I explained it good for you guys and hopefully someone actually makes it now and I didn’t just waste my time lol!

Looks good, sounds pretty close to soda bread.

Bannock is only bannock if it is baked on a stick in front of an open fire

or at the very least in a cast Iron Dutch oven !!!

w

Another one fresh out of the oven!

Looks good,what do you do while its cooking-play with the lego?
Your countertop is almost as interesting as Les' desk/dinner table.

You wuss

I used to make this alot years ago,I don't remember using milk

You can use milk or water.

Lol kids toys everywhere!!

I like a couple of shakes of cinnamon in mine. Sometimes I put raisins in it, too.

When I'm out camping I carry along a few of those sealed plastic straws of honey to put on my bannock. Quite a nice treat.

I pre-mix the flour, soda, salt, and sometimes a little powdered milk in a plastic baggie. When I have had a campfire going for a while and have some hot coals, I take my pot or pan and put some of the bannock mix in it so the bannock won't stick to the pan. Then, I add water to the baggie of mix and kneed with my fingers until it gets mixed thoroughly. When you get a good sticky ball of dough I just turn the baggie inside out and put it in the pan. Dusting the ball of dough with some of the dry mix in the pan also keeps it from sticking. Then just cover the pan and set it near the fire and hot coals. After it starts to get stiff, you can turn the pan on its side. You can also put some hot coals on top of the lid. If it isn't stuck to the pan you can flip it over, too.

I still say, if you cook it in the oven at home, it's just bread.

Good stuff.I eat it camping all the time.

Thanks for posting, Jurassic Park. I like to see food pics on trapperman.

Here in the South we call it "Pone Bread".

Yup no problem, glad you enjoyed it!

Made this one yesterday! Got another one being made tonight!

lmao! Good one!

You got a nice kitchen, Jurassic Park.

I used to make Bisquick drop biscuits, does that count...?

I wonder if "bannock" and Civil War "hardtack" are related? Just let the bannock dry out and probably about the same or was hardtack more of a solid, dried-out cracker...?

I use this very good drop biscuit recipe for sausage gravy and for just eating. Basically the same recipe as above with a little sugar and pinch of salt added.

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/21135/e-z-drop-biscuits/

I haven't ate bunnies or squirrels for a while but I used to add Bisquick dumplings to stews. It works...

Not sure if bisquick biscuits are the same, but probably similar.

It’s not crispy like a cracker. Same texture as a biscuit. When bannock sits on the counter for a day it does dry out, but still tastes good. You can warm it up in the microwave and it’ll be like new again lol.

hows the nut butter holdin out?

I don’t eat much of that nut butter. My wife and a couple of the kids eat it.

Here is a helpful hint. If you get a quart can, use a church key to cut two pour holes in the top to let the air out, you can turn that oven skid mark into a pretty biscuit. If you add sugar and lard, it turns something the horses won't eat, but people do, into wonderful things that people wonder, "Why was I eating that bannock stuff.".

I say bannock isn't Bannock without some wood ashes on it! I like to load my up with dried fruits, honey ,sunflwr seeds, pine nuts, sumac seeds(lemony) and chopped cashews. It is the last thing we throw in our outdoor pizza oven after a batch of pizza making.

I’ll pass.

I made bannock over the fire once. Hopefully never again.

Bannock is good fried, baked, or any other way you can cook it. I’ve tried it with cranberries and whitefish eggs baked right in with the dough. Good trail food. I prefer my grandmas recipe over any others I’ve tried.

Another one you’ve got to try is this:

The “Eskimo doughnut”
One of my favorites. Really good with chilli and soup. Awesome snack fresh and hot with some thick Rogers syrup for dipping.

Now that looks Good!!! (bannock)

Oh man that donut does look good!

recipe ryan?

Not baked over an open fire. In a dutch oven over hot coals or in a reflector oven or in our wood fired stone slab pizza oven. Over a fire frying would work better, IMO.

LOL

YUK

puttin love in it and nut butter? NO WAY,,now im gagging

Lmao!! The nut butter isn’t used for the bannock. We put butter and jam on it to eat.
That’s where we leave the nut butter, and others use it on toast. Lol

Regular bread dough shaped and a few holes added then deep fried with a flip half way through.

Put a thick slice of bologna between that fry bread Ryan and that meal will last you all day.
I love fry bread and bologna.

Some people deep fry sausage wrapped in dough for trail food. Some ladies make 200+ donuts in one sitting for events or for sale by the dozen.

Jurassic- Do you guys have jam and jelly up there or is it only jam...?

I don’t know what the difference between jam and jelly is. Only hear it called jam up here.

Jelly is like jello.No fruit in it.

Jeremiah Johnson spit it out.

My people call it Drechderkuche AKA Funnel Cake.

https://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-between-jelly-and-jam-267649

Jelly is from juice, jam is from crushed fruit....

Wheres the nut butter come from?

bannock dough recipe sounds like a biscuit dough recipe
