Bannock Fry Bread Food

METIS BANNOCK

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• Work in the margarine using hands until you make a nice crumble. If you have Olivina margarine in your area, I find this makes for the best bannock.
• Gradually mix in enough milk to make soft but not sticky. Knead.
• Shape into a ball, place on a greased baking sheet, then flatten into a circle about 1 inch thick.
• Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

FRIED BREAD (I CALL IT BANNOCK)

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and cover and let sit AT LEAST 1 hour if not longer, the longer is sits the fluffier it will be. When you mix it together there might be a little flour left and slightly sticky that is okay. This is the type of fried bread you will be picking up to shape.
• After it sits, heat up some oil for deep-fat frying, I use a deep-fryer at home too. You can use a skillet filled with about 1 inch of oil. Heat until 375 F, or a small piece bubbles and browns in a couple minutes. When ready to fry, oil your hands and counter top. Divide dough into 3-4 pieces, When you cup your hands together like you are holding something you don't want to get away that is the amount of dough you want. Then pat it out to just a little bigger then your whole hand and put into the oil. Fry on one side until nice and golden brown, it can be a couple minutes to 5 minutes depending on what you are using, a frying pan will take less time and a deep fryer will take longer but is more safe way of frying. When golden using tongs flip over and fry on the other side until nice and golden.
• Take out and drain on paper towel, and eat with butter and jam, serve as a side bread, or top with chili, cheese, lettuce and tomato for Indian Tacos.
• I use oil to shape because it helps the dough not to stick to your hands and it keeps your oil cleaner because you won't have flour coming off the fried bread and falling to the bottom. At home I usually make it to serve with chili or soup, and the rare occasions we eat it for breakfast. We try not to eat it too often because we will get fat hahaha.

• Measure flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir to mix. Pour melted butter and water over flour mixture. Stir with fork to make a ball.
• Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead gently about 10 times. Pat into a flat circle 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
• Cook in a greased frying pan over medium heat, allowing about 15 minutes for each side. Use two lifters for easy turning. May also be baked on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.

BANNOCK

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
• Mix with enough water so that the mixture becomes a dough.
• Form into 4-6 large, thick patties.
• Fry on lightly oiled frying pan, turning when the bottom is golden.
• (You may also bake in the oven.) Good served warm.
• If desired, spread with honey, jam, butter, or peanut butter.
• Traditionally bannock would have been made with whatever ingredients were on hand.
• For example, adding blueberries if they're in season.
• This freezes well. Freeze, already baked, in a labeled ziploc bag with the air squeezed out as much as possible. To serve, bring to room temperature by removing from the bag and letting rest on the counter for a few hours. SPeed up the process, by baking or microwaving until the desired temperature is reached.

FRIED BANNOCK

Steps:

• Mix half the flour with the remaining dry ingredients.
• Add water until the mixture becomes thick, "like a paper mache paste".
• Add more flour until the dough feels like a soft earlobe.
• Heat the oil or lard over a medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking.
• Break off small pieces of the dough and flatten each to the size of your palm, about 1/2-inch thick.
• Place the pieces in the hot oil, turn after about 3 minutes, or when golden brown.
• Place the bannock on a paper towel to soak up the excess grease.
• Serve plain or with jam.

BANNOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Mix all dry ingredients into a big bowl. Add water or milk and add the oil of your choice. Mix all ingredients together until the batter becomes like bread dough, not sticky.
• Put flour onto table surface then roll the dough with your fists for about 2 minutes, like making a bread dough. Pound the dough into a round ball then slowly expand the dough by making it nice and round about half inch thick and should be round like a pie plate. Make holes with a fork by poking it all around the dough from top to bottom.
• Then with your cookie sheet ready put the bannock onto cookie sheet and bake it at 375ºF until it becomes golden brown. Spread lard on the bannock when it comes out of the oven to keep it moist and delicious.

NATIVE CREE BANNOCK BREAD

• 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.
