How to Make Indian Bannock

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  2. Gradually add water, about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 1/4-inch thick circle or pat into a flat shape.
  5. **For baking:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place bannocks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. **For deep frying:** Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place bannocks in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
