Making a small batch of Bannock

In this video I'll cook some bannock. The recipe that I used was very simple. I usually make bannock in ziplock bags using the dry ingredients so I can grab them when I go to the woods. Once out there I just add water and oil if I have it. It tastes similar to a thick tortilla in my opinion. Enjoy!
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (approx) water
1 tablespoon olive oil - optional
½ teaspoon sugar - optinal
Measure flour, salt, and baking powder into a bowl. Stir to mix. Pour olive oil and water over flour mixture. Stir until it's not sticky.
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 cast iron pan over medium heat or bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.

Thank you for having been so precise in instructions of making the bannock.

[@rick0596]

I know this is an older video but this is exactly what I was looking for. A simple recipe for bannock. Easy to make and very good. Thank you

[@KittyGooris]

Your recipe is different from what you actually use in the video. I’ll try them both. Thank you for the video! ☀

[@diydarkmatter]

pretty cool . my aunt used to make indian fry bread all the time used to look the same way basically it was bread recipe with out the yeast then fried in a pan with oil like this . some of the best memories i have was over coffee and fry bread . i miss those days . thanks for sharing brother great vidier .

[@kittykatross3896]

Wow! I loved how you explained the whole video!! Awesome dude..I will try this tonite..thank you from Calgary, Alberta!

[@texaslonestarrider]

Learn something new! Never heard of Bannock!

[@jiujitsu2000]

lonestarrider thank you. it's tasty!

[@Rick-wn5oh]

Back in the BoyScouts (1960s) we use to make this stuff. Round off the end of a 4-5" stick to look like the end of a baseball bat and mold the bannock over the end. Lean it near the fire and bake it into a bread bowl.

Just tried it. Really nice, especially with natural yoghurt and jam spread over it while still warm.

[@Jerkabobber]

Totally gonna try this, cook it over my fire place 😊👍

[@DonnyPavoliniOutdoors]

Awesome video man! This was explained very well brother and really looked perfect. Take care.

[@jiujitsu2000]

Thank you brotha! I love this stuff. I really liked your depression video. Top notch my friend!!

[@jasonwilliams9663]

oh, brotha. that would be awesome with some sausage and gravy. thank you for sharing. I am going to try this in a video showcasing my solar oven.

[@jiujitsu2000]

These are perfect for biscuits and gravy because they don't get soggy and fall apart as quickly. Thank you!

[@clivedunning4317]

As my old English teacher used to say . . ." You can only have a BIT of water when the water is frozen"!

[@terrysmith7008]

Very good video

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

Revisiting some bannock cooking methods... combined yours with Marks (eat carbs outdoors) and cooked it in an air fryer oven...hahahaha Came out great !! Video later today maybe

[@ManLand]

Got home on me lunch break and this is making me hungrier! lol. I love a biscuit and I've always said that Bannock is a tough type of biscuit really dense. You are right though...it does feel and seem just like a pizza dough...and that would make a cool video to shoot...Pizza Bannock! But not on a stick...lol.

[@jiujitsu2000]

Ha ha. Your biscuit vid made me hungry! I loved the way you did the rain water. It was funny! Thank you for the awesome videos!

[@mikkikas6821]

Its NOT suppose to be TOUGH!! Actually, soft inside, As a biscuit, it should be softer inside like a dinner roll, not like the stiffer buttermilk biscuit and definitely NOT LIKE A ROCK!!😲😢 He also did not check the oil temp or depth of the oil. It never should have burned nor the pan burn like that. We need to send him back to class on making Bannock 101!!😊😊🤔

[@thedoghouseoutdoors4116]

Good looking stuff, I am going to make me some the next outing I have in the woods!

[@jiujitsu2000]

Cool! I hope you like my recipe

[@outdoorsmansgarage]

You're right man this was an interesting video! I've heard of manic but I've never seen it being made it doesn't seem to be too hard to make I'll have to give that a try

[@jiujitsu2000]

James McIntyre good morning thank you brotha! I like it because it's a hard bread and it works real good put in your pack and hitting the trail. it doesn't break apart and fall apart like biscuits or normal bread does it doesn't get smashed either.

[@barbaranneboyer7997]

excellent video bannock is great anytime and out hiking/camping thks for sharing..

[@wxfield]

Having those carbs handy are going to be welcome when you're on "Alone".

Its good! Thank you for stopping by! Have a beautiful day!

[@DarleneYoungartist]

Yum!

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk9055]

I made it with a little Cinnamon and sugar in mix. Really good with powder sugar or honey. I never baked always made out in bush and fried need to try baking and at home. Thanks Merry Christmas to you and family.

[@jiujitsu2000]

+Thaddeus Mikolajczyk Mmmmmmm. That sounds delish... Thank you for taking the time to stop in and share your thoughts! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!!

[@beardedseabee82outdoors13]

time to break out the jam with that hotbread!

[@jiujitsu2000]

Bearded Seabee 82 Absolutely brotha!

[@fergusx]

Try the Irish/Scotish version with buttermilk, bicarbonate of soda, whole meal flour, salt and some kind of lard or butter

[@eldonalbright9186]

For my family this basic biscuit and goes good with gravy of any sort or slathered with butter and any sweet jelly jam honey And peanut butter

[@johnclarke6647]

You need about 60% hydration for most bread doughs. My favorite Kaiser roll recipe is hydrated at 67%. A quarter cup of water is not enough even with the oil you added to it. I would have used milk instead of water - it makes a better bread.

[@robertlindsay7527]

I add 1/3 cup of corn meal to your mix....more water...pancakes!

[@tammymichell3608]

There is a differance between the measuring cups. So note to self, liquid measuring cup can only be used for liquid ingrients only. The cup u measured the water with is a measuring cup but only used for dry ingredients.... There is a differance between them....

[@tammymichell3608]

I was doing the same thing before and did take home economics but i think i missed that day i just learned this not to be long ago

[@jiujitsu2000]

Thank you I understand that as well. Liquid and and dry measurements aren't the same. For making something as simple as bannic it doesn't really matter. Have a beautiful day, Blessings from arizona

[@Lara-ri1lg]

You need at least 1/4 cup water. Dry dough = dry bannock.

[@donnygordon9618]

the burnt give flaver flavor emmmm

[@BrosephRussell]

Oh yeah the yummy goodness

[@justinwilson3653]

Awesome how to video. Still my favorite intro.

[@jiujitsu2000]

Thank you brotha! Wait until you see the video's that I texted you about this morning. You're gonna like those knives!

[@plumpye474]

That's pretty cool brother might have to try this next time I'm going to woods yeah some places around here have little packets of olive oil for salads I take them with me when I go out to woods to use sometimes be perfect for this stuff um have you tried adding other things to it like instead of rasins? ??

[@jiujitsu2000]

Plumpy E thank you brotha, you can add just about anything you want. nuts, dried fruits and vegetables... :-)

[@deborahpacker1153]

You handle your dough way more than necessary.

[@MissPurpleTTV]

I Agree.

[@mikkikas6821]

Yes, the more you handle the tougher it gets. I leave it sticky and plop on a floured surface, add a little more on top, fold it into itself a couple times and ready to go. You can see what he is. Handling already looks VERY stiff. It should be SOFT and PLIABLE, not a hockey puck!!😲😢

[@chiefonelung9415]

Great wonderful simple video. You explained perfectly. My only other question is, have you tried making this with hundred percent whole-wheat flour instead of plain bleached flour? Thanks for the great information.

[@mikkikas6821]

There are numerous ways to make Bannock. I've been making it for years. I'm still experimenting but I have some exciting ideas I'm going to try. I noticed that there is even a "flour" substitute for a Keto recipe for frybread and a recipe for making it in one of those air fryer machines. A friend of mine uses those Pillsbury biscuits in the pop can, separating out the biscuits, stretching and flattening into a big disc and into the hot oil it goes. Looks like a disc of frybread but still tastes like a "fried" biscuit, 😄 not frybread. Still awesome!Even the different tribes have many different ways and recipes on frybread. So experiment not only with the dough but the fillings and condiments as well. There's a whole world of "Bannock " out there waiting to be discovered!😀🤗

[@ruthannemartinson2294]

Thank

[@toppersouthtexas6625]

Have you ever considered adding 1 teaspoon of dried dill? It makes it taste somewhat like sour dough bread...

[@nickjm37fordel1]

Looks like good good for the camp out. How about adding a little jelly to that butter ? :-)

[@jiujitsu2000]

Yup! Jelly! now that's what I forgot. Ha ha Thank you!

[@AdrianStdenis]

Awesome, who taught you, it's a Native common bread, make Indian Taco's , deep fried is best

[@jiujitsu2000]

Adrian St.denis thank you it's a very fun bread to make I learned it from many different sources over the years and you're a hundred percent right it is best deep-fried I should have showed that!

[@AdrianStdenis]

my grand father taught me.

My dog and I share bowl and food... lol

[@sabbathkeeper328]

Hello Friend, great video, however your written recipe doesn't match what you said 🤔written recipe says 1/2 Cup water not 1/4 cup as you said ..same with the salt ...not being mean just FYI 🥰

[@jiujitsu2000]

Thank you! I appreciate you catching that

[@gman77gas]

Bannock....fancy name = "Scones"

[@jiujitsu2000]

Ha ha. True!

[@deborahpacker1153]

Scones have yeast. Natives didn't usually have yeast. No need for it.

[@jimdevlin2138]

That would be a "Doughy" type dough then

I wouldn't know anything about drugs, but Ha ha... Thank you!

[@alexblue6991]

I tried just made a sticky mess on my hands

[@mikkikas6821]

If it is too sticky, add a little more flour . I've makes it sticky for many years the Ojibwe way,, but I mix with a fork until I'm ready to take it out on a floured board or counter top. Once mixed, form it into a ball using floured hands and plop it down onto a floured surface. Sprinkle a little flour and press it out, fold it in half, knead it together and fold it into itself like that a couple more times. The dough should be very soft and pliable. Now you're ready to work with it. Once you've done this, the next time won't nearly be a stick mess! If you bake it be sure to oil the pan so it won't stick. It will rise in the oven unless the baking powder is old. I bake it if I want a biscuit style to cut open and spread on a filling, egg and cheese, jam, what ever. But to make into regular frybread I skillet fry in oil, making sure there is room under the bread to float. This frybread I stretch into discs usually to make tacos or just add cinnamon sugar or honey with powdered sugar like an elephant ear. Have fun!!🤗
