Bannock

description Bannock Overview

Bannock is a type of flatbread or quick bread with origins in Scotland, where it was historically made from barley, oatmeal, and water, and cooked on a griddle. Scottish explorers and fur traders introduced the basic recipe to North America, where it was widely adopted and adapted by Indigenous populations. Indigenous communities frequently substituted locally available ingredients, such as maize or wild flours, and later baking powder and wheat flour, frying the dough in animal fat or cooking it over an open fire. Today, bannock remains a culturally significant food for many First Nations and Native American communities.
