I made the mistake of watching this in the morning as I'm drinking my coffee...now I'm REALLY hungry and wishing I had some fresh coal cooked bannock. My only consolation is there is no smoke in my eyes. Thanks for a fun video.
David Chouiniere All I was missing was some coffee or hot chocolate. Next time. -Krik
Another fantastic video! Thanks guys.
I really enjoy your videos fellas. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Love your channel!! So much good materials!
a great survival food solution too, thanks for the idea.
Can't wait to try it next camping trip. Like your style!
Always been curious about Bannock making while in the bush, thanks for sharing! Going to try this next time I go out. -Josh
American Wilderness You're welcome, let me know how it works out. -Krik
Great video, as always!
I really love your channel. Great camera work great music great content just really good stuff man keep it up. I think it's the best CZcams channel I've seen.
I first learned to make it about 35 yrs ago. Haven't made it for awhile but it's been on my mind. Now after watching your fine video, I won't rest until I make some! I always enjoy your videos so thought I'd better subscribe. Great job!
Cheri Schwabenland Let me know how it goes for you. I have a sweet tooth, but I've been meaning to make a savory mix soon. What's your preference?
what an amazing video.. I love the nature surround you and the flat bread is tasty :D
Derishious ! I'ma whip a batch up next time out in the bush! Thanks Turtle
Love your videos guys. Keep them coming!
Great video quality.
Great video!
great stuff !!
You know what they say Krik. "Smoke follows beauty". At least that's what I've always heard and that's what I tell my Boy Scouts (usually through squinted, teary eyes). The bannock looks tasty, by the way.
Survival On Purpose I have heard that before. I just responded to someone's comment saying the same. Buncha pretty guys out in the forest then.. -Krik
Beauty was a horse.... lol
Very nice ! I got hungry, I love bannock.
I'm trying to find an ideal bannock vid. I fix it regularly at home. Yours is the first I've seen where someone knows how to regulate the campfire temp to not burn it. Congrats. I also like yours because I too follow a very simple base recipe. You also know how to keep the moisture low enough that the dough is not as messy. Other variations... Sweet: raisins and cinnamon, dates and nutmeg. Savory: good ol' black pepper, at least enough to warm it up some. Cayenne pepper and Parmesan, good with olives or jalapenos too. Rosemary powder and garlic powder. Onion powder and basil, oregano, thyme, or dill.
If you use baking soda, which is four times stronger than baking powder, any edible acid will activate the soda. Baking powder is simply baking soda with cream of tartar. Lemon/citrus crystals work, or any vinegar, pickle juice, etc.. Baking soda without the acid will just result in more of a pancake or flatbread, still tastes fine; this is the base for hardtack. Hardtack doesn't even necessarily have the baking soda, it's just flour, salt, and water in its most basic form.
ExploreLife2012 Thanks for watching and for the kind words. I have another video planned for bannock. This time i's about carrying a larger amount, NOT in plastic bag. And it works better for mixing. And thanks for the info about baking soda versus powder. -Krik
1 cup self rising (everything is already in it) 1/2 cup water mix well, dough ball is rather sticky I just roll it into greased number 3 cast iron pan and cook for about 5 min. each side.
Ibpn Thanks for that. -Krik
great video !
Cool, I'd never heard of this before!
greta site. just found you and you know your stuff and most importantly not boring like many bushcrafters
Trust me *flip* (yesssssss!). Fun to watch and the end had me laughing. It's always good to have some water nearby. :) - Chris
inspireAson I'm definitely a flipper. Less utensils means less dishes and cleaning. Hope you're doing well. -Krik
my mom would make this. she just called it flat bread. never heard the name bannock. you are never to old to learn something new. thanks!!
Might have just been some other type of flatbread I mean the recipe is basically flour and water that's pretty much the basis of every flatbread that exists
That looks yummy
I just found your channel and it is great! thanks
Elisa Duran Welcome! And thanks for the kind words. -Krik
What a great and timely video as im attempting bannock for the first time in a couple of weeks. As for the smoke following you, I had the same over the weekend ha! :) ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors I've once heard... that the smoke follows beauty. So.... -Krik
great info.
I was brought up in the Scottish highlands, and was taught to make bannock bread by my grandmother. We use to cook it on a hot stone in the fire. I was always told that you never eat the outer crust, as that was touched by the devil.
Excellent video, thank you! I have tried adding a bit of yeast to mine and it has turned out really well. I don't let it rise, like bread at home. I just mix a bit of sugar in some warm water and add the yeast to that to activate. After five minutes or so I add this yeast mixture to the bannock mix instead of just straight water and mix just as you did inside the bag. It turns out kinda stretchy and pliable, which is delicious. If you fry, it still gets crispy like yours did, but stretchy on the inside. Excellent! It's maybe more of a flat bread than a bannock bread technically.
Great video, I'd love to see more rustic/backcountry cooking recipes.
***** We plan to do more cooking videos, stay tuned. -Krik
really enjoyed your video on pan fried bread, made me hungry ATB John
Very interesting video. I am not an outdoorsy person whatsoever, but I think I could make this recipe. You have a keenly effective way of explaining things and at the same time making the topic interesting both to enthusiasts and to people like me who would be completely lost and out of their element out in the bush..... :)
your camera man is awesome, total pro.
I like mine with a little corn and bacon added to it then a little drizzle of maple syrup on top
Dang that smelled so good it earned you another subscriber!
J Roberts welcome to the channel! i hope you enjoy our other videos just as much! - stony
I really like your videos :)
I cook Bannock at home every once in a while ( I make oven bread with yeast every once in a while to stay in practice too). It's a baking soda levin bread. The baking soda mixes with water and releases carbon dioxide. The CO2 is what makes the bread 'light'. The water and baking soda reaction happens immediately. Try this, mix everything exactly the same but keep the baking soda out of the mix and separate. Mix water and flour just slightly wetter than you did in this vid. Then once everything is ready, add the baking soda to the bag at the last minute and do a very general and quick mixing. Then cook it just like you did. It should come out of the bag much more fluffy and have a rise to it even fried in the frying pan.
Sean M Thanks for the tip. I'll try that out. -Krik
That looked good and tasty....I carry around a cast iron pan too even tho it weight a lot.
The only thing I do different, safety, save a couple pinches of flour until mix the water. once in while i even save a little oil for the other side also. but, Bannoc is so wonderful. I would camp with time brother! I'd even cook you dinner to see what you'd change. You guys that make these video's are priceless. You guys make my mouth water for Bannoc in midst of winter in Minnesota. God bless you.
Oooh yummy indeed! Try adding raisins and walnuts....very tasty! Rosemary and garlic is another option!
Great video mate. I add milk and egg powder to my bannock for some protein.
Good video. Wonderful stuff Bannock make the base the take other ingridents to add at mixing time. No way to beat a cast iron skillet only problem is weight but hey what the heck. I love raisins and figs. Thanks for sharing Krik. atb
Opal Preston Shirley Yea you're correct, cast iron is very heavy. But with that comes longevity. They'll definitely last a lifetime and longer. Take care. -Krik
Looks like a pretty good staple. Need to procure a small cast iron pan for portability and try this out. Also loved to see Krik interact with Stoney off-camera on this one. Food is a communal activity so it fit in very well.
Dan White This size cast iron is pretty ideal if you plan to carry it into the forest. Sometimes I wish I had someone on camera with me to interact with. -Krik
This looked mighty tasty. I would have lapped it up, no doubt.
Try mixing in some acorn powder, soaked first of course. Foraged, crushed pecans or walnuts as well. Like your idea of adding fruit. I cooked some on a hot rock once. Worked pretty well. Good video. Thanks.
I make acorn flour and it is very sweet and good! Mix it half and half with regular flour if you want it to rise some.
A cast iron skillet is absolutely necessary along with the smoke of the campfire.
Man that smoke was really burning my eyes... Ok, bannock, next thing on my list of fun things to try. Thanks boys.
Jeff Katzer You're welcome. That day I had my fair share of smoke in the eyes and lungs. -Krik
Buen provecho Krirk
Nice vid! I might suggest only heating your oil until it starts to glisten, not until it smokes.
This video inspired me to try bannock bread this morning. Easy to do and turned out great. Just recently procured a reconditioned Wagner #3 6.5" cast iron skillet. Nice small size for my pack yet was plenty big enough for bannock. Look forward to seeing a video if you find another container that works vs. a Ziplock. Perhaps a cup or jar with a twist on lid?
snowpuppy77 I want to do that video soon. So stay tuned. You basically carry multiple servings of bannock in one container. Mors shows it one video. -Krik
I incorporate sifted dry milk powder into the recipe. Makes the flavor better whether you're making sweet or savory bannocks.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll give that a shot
That was great. I had to get up and have some pizza
My favorite bushcraft breakfast is bacon bannock and black coffee.
You just got to love cast Iron. To be able to cook right on the coals like that and get that nice even heat. The golden brown on the bannock says it all.
Catherine Perrett Yep, cast iron is so versatile. AND, it was last a lifetime plus. -Krik
another good vids tks guys.when I build a fire usually I try to have one side higher with rocks or stakes.seems to create more updraft if you stop heat from going sideways.this seems to draw the smoke upwards better.doesn't always work but often enough I always try,btw what brand is that shirt looks like something I like to wear.tks
take a pill bottle full of flour with you each time so, if you make it too runny, you can thicken it up.
+Northern Woodsman Very good idea!
Or you can put it next to the fire a bit not long enough to or close enough to cook it tho
Good video. For an outdoorsy guy, you sure do have perty hands.
Great bannock demo. Does it have to be cooked flat or could I cook a thick batch in a billy pot?
Looks a little thick for the first try but then again you had a nice bit of Coals. good stuff is always guys
Can you use a shaker to mix it up?
ok never realy thought about it but sounds good lol
Mmmmhhhh ^____^
Haven't tried this with cinnamon and sugar yet, but sure will do next! My favorite ingredients for bannock are sun-dried tomatos, just a bit of garlic (you could take garlic salt, as well, I guess) and half a handful of pine nuts (you can roast them before adding them to the dough) - just great.
Also I always put some dry yeast into my flour mix and then let the dough rise some 30 to 60 minutes after I've worked it (in this time of year the best place to let it rest would be under your jacket where it's warm) then the bannock will become really crispy *and* fluffy.
Thanks guys, for taking us with you!
***** That's a good idea to add some yeast. Although, I don't know if I have the patience for that... Hah. -Krik
You make the dough first and while you collect wood, make a fire and wait for the coals to burn a bit down, the dough can rest and rise.
Best, Bernhard
Rocky called and he wants his hat back.
.................1/2 inch Melted Beef Lard gives both sides that ruffled, Crispy, Flavor.Thanks for the Video.
What about bacon :)
Would that work too?
cool
So whats the Measurements on everything if you wanna mix up enough to split into like a weeks worth? It looks good and wanna do a base mix so if i wanna do sugar i can or a pinch of salt for something else. It does look good.
I really liked the pants you had on, but could not find them any where on your website ??
how much salt and baking powder?.
Whats the difference between this and fry bread?
Nice one. I could smell it all the way here and it made me very hungry.
You can keep the smoke tho. Ha ha.
Great video. /Ulrica
Gullrica The smoke is all part of the experience! The fire gives and takes. Ha. But the taste from cooking on a open fire is so good, as you know. -Krik
Ha ha, yeah, but the smoke could keep out of my eyes and don´t follow me around the firepit :) Yes, cooking over a fire always makes it taste a little bit better. /Ulrica
I loved the color of your shirt, where did you get it?
add brown sugar and cinnamon to your basic bannock mix. Soak some dried apples the night before. Add them in. Serve with apple butter.
Brown sugar on a camping trail has more uses than just white sugar. For one thing, it makes an excellent pancake syrup. You just add just enough water to dissolve the sugar and simmer it a few minutes to thicken it to syrup consistency. Tastes like the stuff in the stores. When I make it at home, I add a drop of maple syrup. You can use the bannock recipe but thinner batter (more water) for pancakes.
nice pan toss lol
You make it by hard way. Round bottom bowl and rubber spatula is easy way. Make it first soft and add flour to get it dry. You not need oil if flour prevent it stick to pan. Best way to do that is with waffle iron.
what do you do with the bag after the mix? i mean, isn't environmentally better to use your pan instead of a bag?
if you add a little fat/oil before you add the water to lightly coat the flour, you'd have a much lighter bread, add some baking powder and you could make biscuits. LOL
silly question but what is the little brown bag you used to carry the ingredients in?
I made that bag v
Might want a twig stove? Rather than oil in the pan, I might try lining it with baking parchment? Maybe aluminum foil over the pan to hold in some heat?

Fun fact: it's traditionally considered bad luck to cut bannock with a nice. You should only break it
Mmm damper
One of the best breads in the woods is about a cup of flower a tea spoon of cinnamin a tea spoon of sugar and some water to make it like a dough than basicly fry it like he did
At last, a DIY bannock video. :D
Also known as stick bread if I'm not misstaken, maybe a little different ingrediences.
never made any of them. (yet)
Outsider I've heard it called stick bread as well. You basically wrap it around a stick. I haven't tried that method yet. -krik
BlackOwlOutdoors
I found this
www.swedishfreak.com/swedish-recipes/pinnbrod/
(also known as scoutbread)
I think I have seen a recepy with powdered milk in it, or was it on youtube? not sure there.
we have many more planned with Bannock and the different ways of cooking it. thanks for watching! - stony
what brand is that cast iron skillet
Christopher Z. Longoria lodge.
Looks really good! Honey or maple syrup would be good on your bread?

In austrailia we call it damper
Well now I'm hungry
Would love to see you try your hand at making some bannock wrapped around stick over an open fire.
+Randy Bear as the weather starts to cool you'll be seeing us next to fires much more frequently. be on the lookout for a whole slew of new camp food videos! - stony
BUSHCRAFTBARTONS has a cool video where he cooks his Bannock on a stick. Thanks for the video guys!
can you use uncle steves stone griddle? aka a flat rock xD
Where do you live? No woods around Dallas....bummer
opichocal We are in Pennsylvania. There are woods everywhere. -Krik
whats in the mix and how much i wanna make some?
Outdoorsmen1214 Flour, salt, and baking powder are the core ingredients. I added cinnamon and sugar. Search for the recipe in Mors' book on bushcraft. As I said in the video I don't measure that often. -Krik
I like bannock plain prairie like my dog Jet.
Hay kirk I'm trying to make fat wood with gum tree sap and wood I'll tell you if it works when I do it
try adding some mountain trail mixquarter cup to your flour should be enought i use the wallyworld brand i put 2 to 3 cups but i make a big dutch oven with 3 cups flour salt backing soda or just use bisquick mix works well for me calories and energy
Bisquick is the way to go.
DEECEE's ADVENTURES How do you use Bisquick?
Just add water and knead into a loaf. I know the quality of my videos suck compared to you guys but I posted a video here in your comments on how I do it. Check it out. Love your channel and if you guys ever want to take a ride up to maine, I'll host you in a canvas tent for the night. It is a great spot to shoot some new content for your channel.
Could you add dried milk to improve the protein? Always great videos, they look great too
+David Barclay Powdered Egg and Powdered Milk are pretty common additions, but you have to adjust the ratios a bit. Google "Bannock, powdered milk" (or egg) for a list of recipes.
+David Barclay Found this recipe for a "Breakfast Bannock"
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup powdered milk
• 1/3 cup powdered egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
It did not specify how much water, other than saying "add water until you get a consistency somewhere between pizza dough and pancake batter." I would guess that's around 1/2 cup of water.
Looks good ,So what is the recipe...How much baking powder and salt? Thanks for sharing..
+scott scottswart440 15 gr baking powder and 4 gr salt :D
What canteen do you have here?
Leland McClure 40oz Klean Kanteen
Nice video. Enjoyed watching. Can't beat bannock at the campsite. I have an old recipe that was Fred Bears. He was a famous archer back in the day.
Can you mix the bannock beforehand so it's ready to cook when you get there?
You can if its cold enough out side but you'll need to flower the ball well so you can get it out of the bag.
It may come out a little on the dry side.
