G A B R I E L L E F A Y A N T 136 "As Indigenous people, we take care of our communities, we take care of each other and sometimes that means like we divide up what we have left." Bannock is a food that can get you through quite a long period of time with very minimal ingredients. There are lots of different ways to make it, from frying it like frybread, adding toppings to make Indian Tacos, adding berries to the dough or serving it with Saskatoon Berry jam. It's a survival food and it's meant to be shared. "Flour was always around. So let's make bread. You can make a lot with just a little bit. That's the cool thing about bannock." This is a recipe that has been passed down for generations, from Nokomis (grandmother) to now and generations before that. While it's not the healthiest option for a lot people due to the gluten and carb content, it's traditional and with every pot of soup or chili there's usually bannock. Here's what you'll need to get started: • Flour (all purpose is fine.) • Baking powder. Magic Baking Powder is the recommended brand thought it isn't what was used in this tutorial. • Salt is optional, and is not for everyone. • A bowl for mixing: • A measuring cup and tablespoon are also helpful. • A pan. You can pre-grease it. • A cup of lukewarm water: "Bannock is super easy to make. Once you have flour and baking soda, you can make so many different things. It's a foundation to do more baking and getting creative with baking too. It's trial and error, so don't be scared if your first batch doesn't turn out a hundred percent the way you wanted, just keep trying." First, add flour by the cup. Behzig, in Anishinaabe, means one. Niish means two. Nswi means three. Similarly, measure out three scoops of baking powder.
