BANNOCK MEANING

Bannock is bread, which originates from Scotland but came to the Indigenous peoples of Canada via the fur traders/trappers. Bannock stems from the Gaelic word bannach, which means “morsel.

ARE BANNOCK AND FRIED BREAD THE SAME

Yes, and this is a staple amongst the Indigenous peoples across North America. You can make the bread in a large batch and serve it like that or make small pieces as I have in this recipe below. 

Also, you can make it more dense by adding less water if desired.
