Fried Bannock Recipe
Fried bannock is a type of bread that is eaten by First Nations people. I tried it recently and it was surprisingly good so I wanted to make a recipe for it. It is thicker and a bit more fluffy than other flat breads but the fact that it is fried makes it so tasty.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour (360g, plus more as needed)
- 1 ½ teaspoons coarse kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons water (270g)
- ½ cup oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the water and stir until a dough forms. Knead it for 2-3 minutes until the flour is well-absorbed and no longer sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This will help the gluten relax so it's easy to shape them into their "bannock" shape.
- Heat ½ cup of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. In the mean time, break off small pieces of the dough and flatten them into an oval shape about ½ inch thick.
- Gently place them in the hot oil and fry each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the fried bannock to a paper towel-lined plate to dry. I love eating these by themselves or with a side of jam. Enjoy!
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. I like to air-fry them for a couple of minutes at 400℉ to re-crisp them.
