Traditional Canadian Bannock Bread – Warm, Simple, and So Comforting If you're into rustic, old-school baking, then this bannock bread is right up your alley.
It’s one of those classic Canadian recipes that’s been passed down through generations—simple ingredients, no fancy tools, and totally satisfying.
The best part? You don’t need to be a baking expert to pull this off. Just mix it, shape it, and bake it! This bread comes out golden on the outside and soft on the inside.
Perfect with a bit of butter, jam, or even alongside your favorite stew. Let’s get into it and bake up something warm and delicious!
🧂 What You’ll Need
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons baking powder
- 3 ½ cups milk (warm it up a little)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
👩🍳How to Make It:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s nice and hot when your bread goes in.
- Mix the dough. In a big bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, warm milk, and oil. Stir until everything comes together in a sticky dough. It’ll be messy—that’s normal! If it feels too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour. But don’t overmix, or your bread might turn out tough.
- Shape it. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently shape it into a rough oval or circle with your hands. No need to make it perfect.
- Bake it. Pop it into the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. It’s done when the outside is golden brown and a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy. Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm with butter, jam, or however you like!
