How to make Bannock in a Billy Can

- I got my original recipe from a fellow CZcamsr “Wintertrekker” Check him out! It was Wintertrekker who introduced me to the concept of kneading bannock. I have changed the recipe over the years and I have settled on two versions of my own.
Here is my bannock recipe.
I mix the following ingredients at home in a food processor to integrate all the lard. You can mix by hand if you want it just takes longer. Then I measure either 1 cup or 2 cup amounts (depending on the size of loaf I want to make) and put into plastic bags for the trip. You can add other ingredients like herbs, garlic, raisins etc. if you like.
White Bannock
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 TBS Baking Powder
¼ cup Lard
¼ tsp salt
Whole Wheat Bannock
2 cups of whole wheat flour
2 cups of all purpose
3 TBS Baking Powder
¼ cup Lard
¼ tsp salt
In camp I mix in water by eye and feel till I get a sticky dough. Then I knead it for 8-10 min. before baking (depending on the size of loaf, stove and method about 25 - 35 min.

Where you can find lots of the gear that I use.
I got my baking pans from Flat Cat Gear several years ago.
www.flatcatgear.com/shop/snow...
They now only have a few options (I remember more). They only appear to offer two sizes of baking pan a 3” and a 4”. They also offer an option of trimming the rim off of the pan (like mine). I see the prices have gone up significantly.
The baking pans that Flat Cat Gear sells actually come from Fat Daddio’s. Where you can find more sizes.

Tried your Bannock recipe to make minis at home for a trial. Turned out great 3 kinds Herb and Garlic, 3 Onion and Cheese and then Apple pie spice with raisins.
Those all sound great. Glad they worked for you.
You need extra heat on top. Since you can’t add heat in the form of hot coals when using a cook-stove, add extra insulation to the top. Double insulate the lid. This will help the top cook better. You’re just losing too much heat from the top. Excellent video. Thanks.
Thanks James, this method works better than shown (and it worked pretty well as shown). Because I was filming I opened the lid (off camera) way more than I should have. I have seen the sideways pot with charcoals rigged on top. I was trying to demonstrate that it isn't necessary to go to all that effort.
Hi i make it the exact same way except I use a low wide dish inside my frying pan. It cooks a bit quicker but will taste the same. Cheers from Orkney Scotland.
Never seen bannock done that way. Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Very nice 👍 thanks!
Thank you for watching!
That looks awesome. Can't wait to try it myself.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thanks for posting your recipe too.
Thanks Drew!
Great job, Kevin. I enjoy all your cooking videos and have recreated a couple of your dehydrating video recipes. Thanks for that, too.
Thanks Legend!
Hi my friend! Awesome kit! Thanks so much for sharing!
Stay Blessed!
Thanks you for watching! Much appreciated.
Great stuff Kev.
Thanks Barney!
Well since I have been reviewing all your cookware reviews, I figured I should give this one a watch. Very nice, I will have to try this out this summer.
Ha, thanks Capt'Wes! I appreciate the binge watching! :)
Never saw bannock that looked this delicious before. That loaf would last my family about 3 minutes, tops. LOL. This looks really good, can't wait to try it!
Thanks Mama! I hope your family enjoys it!
I have 3 of those Billy pots. I've been lucky and have found them at my local thrift store. Another baking veesel option is some jumbo silicone cupcakes cups. They my not be as big as what you used, but still pretty large. I have some but have had a chance to try them out yet. Another thing to try as a pot lifter is a canning jar ring cover. Your bread turned out. great!
Thanks Chris. Usually it turns out even better with zero black on the bottom and a browner top. During filming I opened the lid many times trying to show the progression of the bake (not shown in the video).
saved your recipe for the bannock and thanks for the tip on kneading, I've seen others bake their bread but put the billy pot on it's side to make the oven but your approach worked out and much easier to do (will not roll) plus the bread did look good to eat would never last 2 or 4 days lol
Thanks Craig. I have been playing around with different options and this one seems to work very well. I also like the reflector oven but it is fun to try different styles.
Great job Kevin! I just found about your page. Good stuff
Thanks! Glad you like it!
very cool vid, i am new and i like so far thank you
Thanks Frank!
Looks good Kevin - I got hungry watching! You and Wintertrekker should have a bake off to see whose recipe is better!
LOL, perhaps someday. Thanks Dave!
Looks good I’m afraid I’d eat it all in one day
Ha, yes sometimes it doesn't last long. Thanks Chris!
You had me at bannock! Great job Kevin, although I doubt that loaf would last me 4 days lol! Take care. Wade
LOL, well it isn't the only thing I eat in 4 days :) I had a lot of fun on this trip cooking in different ways.
Thanks again for a wonderful cooking lesson. Our rainy season just started tonight in Northern California. What tips do you have for camping in rainy weather?
Hi Paul. Excellent question. One thing that most people find very challenging is to have a fun time camping in the rain. Probably the best tip that I can offer is to bring a tarp. When we canoe trip we bring a nice large guides tarp but even when I go backpacking I bring a smaller sil-nylon tarp. I think mine is 8'x10' (or something similar) It adds an extra pound to the pack but at the end of the day it is large enough that one or two people can sit under it and remove rain gear and air out a bit. A simple thing that adds a lot of comfort to solo traveller or a group. Other than that good rain gear with plenty of ventilation. Good goretex boots but they don't stay waterproof forever. I also bring goretex socks for extra protection and warmth if my boots do get wet. I also wear them inside camp shoes (crocks) if it is raining. After the gear, the only thing left is to simply adopt a positive mindset - it is only water :)
Thanks for the response.
4 Days? 20 minutes tops! Brilliant stuff Kevin, but no raising agents at all, or salt? Many thanks, Andy.
Hi Andy, Thanks and yes there is salt and baking powder. See the recipe I use in the description.
Ah, didn’t read the description Doh!
never mind i got it 😎
I have exactly the same crocks lol,your Mors pot do you use the 1.8 or 1.1 l?
I have one of each size. The one in the video is 1.8L. I use that one the most.
@@KevinOutdoors 1.8,awesome I tried to order one but it seems it is not available anymore only the 1.1l
Never cut bannock with a knife. It will bring you bad luck . Always tear it. Like your vids m8.
Bro Can't believe you busted down a beaver dam.
Thanks for the comment. It was necessary. The beavers are still there and the water is lower.
