The story behind
Bannock has a fascinating history that bridges Scottish tradition with the cultures of the First Nations of North America. It was originally a simple bread made from local grains (like oats or barley), but over time it was adapted to use wheat flour, becoming a staple of survival and home cooking in regions like Canada. It is valued for its simplicity and the comfort it provides when eaten fresh.
