Native American bannock
History and origins
The bannock is known as “palauga” among the Inuit. The word “bannique” comes from bannach which means “bite”. This pastry is sometimes associated with religious practices. Indeed, before eating it, some people take care to draw a cross on it.
When it comes to the origins of this bread, chef Rich Francis himself from Ontario speaks out about his Scottish roots. Certainly, this culinary specialty takes an important place in the history of Aboriginal communities in Quebec, but that does not detract from the fact that it comes first from Scotland.
To prepare a batch of Native American bannock
Generally, corn flour is used to cook Native American bannock. However, you can also use white flour. This famous native bread does not require kneading or leavening. You can even cook it in a pan. Each community has its own recipe, but the preparations are almost all alike. In the Far North, it is taken for breakfast or as a snack with tea. You can add dried fruits (cranberries, blueberries…), nuts or chocolate chips to your recipe.
Note that excessive consumption of bread and flour can cause constipation problems. Also, drink regularly and get fiber when eating Native American bannock.
