Canadian Skillet Bannock

A quick Canadian bread made with a simple dough of flour, baking powder, salt, water, and oil, cooked in a skillet until golden.

Bannock takes different forms and is cooked in different ways across Canada, and its history is connected with diverse Indigenous communities as well as Scottish influences. This version is a quick skillet bread made without baker’s yeast; it does not claim to represent every variation.
