Bannock: Back Country's Best Bread | OPEN HEARTH COOKING | 18'th CENTURY COOKING |

Video Description

When the winter chill drives Peter indoors, he turns to one of his favorite comfort foods — bannock. In this fireside episode, Peter pan fries a batch of this simple four-ingredient bread that has sustained travelers, trappers, and Indigenous peoples for generations. Using flour, salt, baking powder, and a touch of bear fat, he shows just how easy and satisfying bannock can be, whether cooked in a skillet, on a hot rock, or wrapped around a stick over the fire. As he cooks, Peter shares the rich history behind this humble bread — from its Neolithic origins in Europe to its journey through Scotland and into North America with the fur traders. Blending food, heritage, and storytelling, this video is a warm reminder that the simplest recipes often carry the deepest roots. Settle in by the cabin fire and enjoy learning how to make bannock the traditional way.
