Skillet Herbed Bannock Bread

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Side Dishes
Bannock is the bread of survivors and explorers. Originally from Scotland, it became a staple for North American indigenous peoples and trappers because it requires no yeast and can be made over an open fire in a single pan. This spiced version isn't about survival, but enjoyment: the essential oils of the herbs releasing in the frying dough give this simple flatbread a fantastic aroma.

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, herbs) in a bowl.

Tip: Baking powder must be distributed thoroughly, or the bread will rise unevenly and have bitter spots.
2 ✓

Rub the butter into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles wet sand.

Tip: The butter coats the flour particles, inhibiting gluten formation for a tender crumb.
3 ✓

Pour in the milk and loosely mix with a fork or hands just until the dough comes together. Do not over-knead!

Tip: If sticky, flour your hands, but don't add more flour to the dough or it will get tough.
4 ✓

Shape the dough into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Tip: Press a dimple in the center with your thumb to help them cook evenly (since the center cooks last).
5 ✓

Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat. Fry bannocks for 4-5 minutes per side until dark golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped.

Tip: Lower heat is important so the center cooks through before the outside burns.
6 ✓

Break open while warm and eat plain or slathered with butter.

Tip: The smell of fresh steam is the best part of the experience.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the inside hard?
You kneaded it too long. Baking powder doughs should only be worked until just combined to prevent strong gluten formation.
Can I use water instead of milk?
Yes, that's the traditional 'camp' version, but milk makes it richer and softer.
