Answer 1

This is the Algonquin Bannock (sunflower bread)
3 1/4 cup Sunflower seeds
3 1/4 cup Water
2 1/2 tsp Salt
6 tbl Corn flour
2/3 cup Corn oil

Put the sunflower seeds, water & salt into a pot, cover & let simmer
for 1 1/2 hours. When well cookked, crush the seeds to amke a paste.
Add the corn flour, 1 tablespoon at a time to thicken. Work with your
hands; cool a little.
Make small, flat pancakes of approximately 5" diameter.
Heat oil & fry both sides, adding more oil if necessary. Drain well &
eat.


This is the Bannock I grew up with..
6 cups flour
1 cup lard
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups currants or raisins (I used sultanas)
3 1/2 cups water
In the bowl, mix the flour and lard together by hand, and then add the baking powder, salt and the currants, raisins or sultanas.
Next, add the water and work the ingredients into a dough.
Now, you have two options: the camp fire or the oven.
To cook over a camp fire, divide the dough into four lumps and firmly wrap each lump around the end of a four foot stick and prop securely over the fire until golden brown.
To cook in an oven, spread the dough out into a 16" square cake pan.
Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Answer 2

Bannock is a fried bread that has as many recipes as there are people who make it.

You can make up a drop-biscuit recipe (like Bisquick) and drop into hot (375 degree oil). You can even deep-fry canned bis kits, canned pizza dough, or canned crescent rolls.

If you use the canned crescents, instead of unrolling them and then rolling them into crescents, cut them into 8 round pieces (pull in half, then cut each half into 4 equal parts.

I love to have hot bread at meals, and I will often cook fried bannock when I cam camping, where I have oil fro frying but not an oven.

Answer 3

If it is a fried bread, get the frozen bread dough, and cut off small pieces of it, this makes great fried bread, as it puffs up when you drop it into hot grease, you can even roll it in sugar when you take it out of the grease, yumm.
