I developed this bannock recipe after years of observing Kokums and Aunties in their kitchens. Each made their recipe slightly different and not a single one of them measured precisely, nor shared their “recipe”. Bannock has a very complex food symbol of individuality and identity so after lots of trial and error I found my own recipe. It is easy enough to modify and make additions to or substitute other ingredients without changing the outcome of delicious bannock.

I am not much of a baker. Let’s get that straight. I wasn’t sure I did it right when I was kneading the dough, it was a battle haha I just had a taste and yum yum yum!!! Definitely going to make this recipe again

yum yum
Love this so much thank you
This is the best bannock recipe ever! It tastes just like the bannock that one of my teachers made for us when I was in school in Canada. The other ones I’ve tried were all too dry.
nice recipe 🥹👍
I don’t have a lot of patience for baking, and I love that this came together in less than 10 minutes and was beautiful and so GOOD!
A real winner for some quick tea-time bread. So Canadian!
I baked this to accompany a taco soup recipe and it came out beautifully. Thank-you for the video!!
Great bannock recipe! The perfect texture and not too heavy. Delicious and easy!
