My daughter and I have enjoyed this video with Nikki and have used the recipe. We lost it for a while until we found it now 2 years later and my daughter and I were so happy to see Nikki pop up on screen when we clicked this video! 😅 We won’t use any other recipe, as this has proven consistently good and she’s also a joy to watch and easy to understand! Thank you!

[@ronkierstead]

I tried a half batch recipe at home and my girlfriend and I both enjoyed it, as it was quite good. I cooked it on top of a piece of parchment paper in a frying pan on the stove, then flipped it like a pancake, then served it with some melted butter to dip pieces of it into. Thanks for sharing!

[@quackerquad8627]

i do mine in a pretzel shape, cook them in a dutch oven, then cover them with cinnamon and sugar mixture. just like fresh pretzels, can't beat them. awesome video, would have never thought of just dumping the dough onto the fire.

[@michaelslater627]

Nikki, I have just tried this recipe and it has worked out really well for me. This will be our official recipe for all future campouts. Very many thanks. Have a fun day / night

[@paulcharpentier7095]

Great video. The fried we call lebay. I add cinnamon or berrys or raisins . Whatever I feel like that day. It is my main source of bread. Just a suggestion. When cooking on coals use tinfoil. It keeps it cleaner. It can be reused if you are careful. Just be sure not to litter. Take it home with you. Enjoy.

The first time I had bannock was on a canoeing trip, and our "chef" added cinnamon and raisins to the recipe! It was amazing for the first few days, but it got pretty tiring after six. Really good with peanut butter!

I used Gold Medal self rising flour for 2 decades of teaching bush craft; pack dry ingredients in zip locks for campfires pans or on a stick. For a dessert, I add cinnamon and a bit brown sugar. or dehydrated berries bits. For meals I add mushroom bits, local herbs and shredded chicken. Shredded zucchini, chopped onions & bacon bits.

[@dannychrispin6794]

I made it the first way, had to add a little bit extra flour but other than that it tastes amazing! It tastes even better if you add Nutella to it as well! 😊

If you are carrying the prepared dough for cooking the next day, use an oversized bag, because, even though baking powder is slow acting, the dough may rise enough to pop the bag seal and socks full of dough are no fun! Thank you for sharing Nikki!

Did you add the rest of the water or did you use about half a cup of water?

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

Just enough to make a firm dough. I usually use about 1/2 to 3/4 cup depending on the moisture content of your flour.

[@koningbolo4700]

If you were to pack a small bag of citric acid also and you were to find a pint of milk you could make Cottage cheese on the trail... Just heat the milk not quit to boiling, remove from the heat and add 1/4 teaspoon dissolved in about 2 tablespoons of water and stir until the milk separates into a relatively clear liquid and Cottage cheese curnels...mix with either a hearty seasoning of salt, garlic powder and maybe oregano or sweet with sugar/cinnamon or even raisins and have that with the camp breads shown here...You would like breakfast to last forever... enjoy guys...

[@zatoichi101]

I like her.

[@70CadillacMan]

Can yeast be used?

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

Ah man yes! Absolutely! Folks seem a little scared of yeast, so I made a simpler recipe, but bread will always taste better, smell better and rise better with yeast. Use 1/2 sachet yeast (1 tsp) and 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar dissolved in the cup of water which should be warm. You rock Cadillac Man!

[@Sarrienne]

You can, but then it would be bread, not bannock. Proper bannock is unleavened cake made with barley and oatmeal.

[@Thekickingturtle]

You know I always thought frybread was just a native thing because all my family and friends made frybread, but when I got older I had a feeling it was brought over from Europe or at least other cultures used some similar recipe.

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

I think bread is a pretty universal thing and everyone has some kind of bread they love.

[@Thekickingturtle]

Yeah without a doubt! I think it's just when you're younger the world is so small and when you get older you learn more about the world and how similar other cultures are to yours. Loved the video by the way and I'm probably gonna try to roast my frybread on a stick to see how it tastes.

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

@@Thekickingturtle Thanks so much! You're right about that. Isn't it great how we have so many things in common - music, food... Let me know how the bread works out and have a really great weekend!

[@dustystahn3855]

When baking bannock on coals doesn't the ashes stick on it?

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

Good question. They can a little, but not a lot. I just flick them off with my tongs or spork. They aren't stuck fast, so it's not a problem.

[@CheezeheadChris]

Very nicely done video. I am going to try her. recipe. But Nikki is not correct about the smoke point of Olive oil and vegetable oil. Here are the smoke points: Olive Oil (extra virgin) 375°f Olive Oil (virgin) 391°F Olive Oil (extra light) 468°F Vegetable Shortening 360°F So I don't know if she means Vegetable Shorting(oil) is better for baking because of the lower smoke point or not.

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

Thank you Chris, this is good info. The 'smoke point' of sunflower oil is 440 F while Extra Virgin Olive oil is at 410 F according to my sources (listed below). Sunflower or peanut oils will give you a little more wiggle room on the fire. If you keep your fire low, olive oil is fine to use. beta.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/smoke-point-matters-in-cooking-with-oil/article26569060/?ref=www.theglobeandmail.com&

[@uncasnetewateweslenape2383]

Butter and coconut oil will give even more wiggle room since they're saturated fats, unlike the others which are mono and polyunsaturated fats...it all has to do with oxidation...

[@hdender6513]

It looks really easy! I am going camping this summer so I want to find good recipes over the Fire. But cooking the bannock on top of the coals doesn't sound that good since u will have coals on it. But I guess it is camping so who cares

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

Not as many as you'd expect and I just knock them off with the tongs. It does give you a really great smokey flavor. It's common in many different cultures to cook right on the coals and I know you'll love it once you try it. Give it a go and let me know what you think!

[@sdlopez83]

I've seen steaks directly on coals as well. Look it up, seems to work.

[@marcosduran1443]

i would imagine if you make a chicken stew you could also make dumplings

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

Great idea! And Yes, this dough would work. Add a little extra water to the stew because the dumplings suck up a surprising amount.

They look like damper

It’s looks like a damper ;-; When I went to camp we cooked those around the campfire

[@afternoobtea914]

In Sweden we call this "stickbread". Everyone knows how to do it.

[@Wodens-Wolf]

Why do you put sugar in bread?

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

It is necessary for the yeast to develop. Yeast is a living organism and needs sugar to survive. It is not enough to make the bread sweet.

[@stevesyncox9893]

Cattail root.

[@dalemasyk1583]

HELLOOOOO banock came from cree first nation in canada usin cattail n others ingreatens .

[@bradfordpalmer2298]

You can also put raw potatoes in their skin in coals. As well as corn in its husk. Omg....talk about good.

[@nahaidiew2991]

What a coincidence of languages In Laos and Thailand Bannock means country

[@carlpop2324]

Hmm. The Bedouins in Oman didn’t teach me jack.

[@bigfatpear]

i have never understood why you put sugar and salt together in bread.

[@Greenmoxiemagazine]

Traditionally the sugar provided food for the yeast so that it would make the dough rise. Salt is necessary for taste. Even if you use baking soda or baking powder and don't need the sugar for the yeast to rise, it is always a good idea to try to get as many of the 5 basic tastes in every dish as you can. The tastes are bitter, salty, sour, sweet, and umami. (there are two more, but we won't get into that).When you balance these flavors properly, you get a more complex taste that appeals to all your taste buds.

[@bradfordpalmer2298]
