Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- ¾ cup water
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
- Then add the olive oil and whisk together with a fork, gradually add water and stir until the dough almost holds together. Move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead about 10 times just until the dough comes together (the dough will be sticky, do not overknead).
- Divide into 5 balls and flatten with the palm of your hand. Fry in hot oil (350F/175C)on medium heat (enough to cover the bottom of a medium frying pan), until golden brown on both sides (and cooked on the inside). Drain on a paper towel lined plate and eat warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
Do not cook on too high a heat or they will only cook on the outside.
The bread can be made with whole wheat flour, although I would only use 1/2-3/4 cup and the remaining all purpose. It can also be baked rather than fried. Baked on a lightly oiled baking sheet in a pre-heated at 350F (180C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
Although baked Bannock is heavy and dense whereas fried is light and fluffy.
It is recommended to eat the bread as soon as it is made, this type of bread isn’t advised for storing.
