bannock
Round oat loaf
Bannock is a round, flat bread traditionally made from oat, barley, or wheat flour, cooked on a griddle or over an open fire.
It originated in Scotland and Ireland and became a staple food among Indigenous peoples of North America after European contact, who adapted it using available ingredients.
The bread varies in thickness and texture depending on regional traditions.
She made bannock over the campfire the way her grandmother taught her.
