Yummy Scottish bread. Great flavor and naturally low fat. Great bread for sweet or savory uses. This recipe was modified by me after experimenting with a recipe by the same name found on page 331 of Prairie Home Cooking by Judith M. Fertig, which reads. This is a simple bread of the dispossessed. Brought to Canada by the Scots who were displace3d from their lands during the infamous 'clearances' of the late 1700's. Bannock would eventually become one of the first breads that Native Americans learned to make when they were confined to reservations in the prairie states. I pride myself on being both Scottish and American Indian as well as a pretty good genealogist and a history buff. This recipe was well-researched before posting to Zaar as such. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, sifted |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup buttermilk, plus |
2 tablespoons buttermilk, if needed |
Directions:
1. Using a wooden or strong spoon mix all dry ingredients together and add 1/4 c buttermilk, adding up to 2T more if needed to make a soft dough.
2. Shape dough into a round and place on a lightly floured baking sheet.
3. Cut an X into the top with a very sharp knife.
4. Spray a piece of foil large enough to cover bread with cooking spray or oil and place over bread.
5. Bake for 30 minutes at 425 degrees, remove foil and return to oven until top is browned, about 10 minutes.
6. Cool on wire rack.
