Bannock is a traditional bread with a rich history tied to the indigenous peoples of North America. This version mixes crispy bacon and sharp cheddar to create a savory twist that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a hearty snack. The hardest part is crisping the bacon, but the effort pays off with every delicious bite.

Ingredients

🥓 4 slices Maple Leaf Bacon
🧀 1 cup Cracker Barrel Cheddar Cheese, shredded
🍚 2 cups All-Purpose Flour, Robin Hood brand
🥄 1 tablespoon Baking Powder, Magic Baking Powder
🧂 1 teaspoon Salt, Windsor Table Salt
🧈 2 tablespoons Butter, melted, Gay Lea Butter
🌊 1 cup Water
🌿 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives, chopped

Instructions

1- Prepare the Bacon:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the Maple Leaf Bacon over medium heat in a skillet until crispy. Remove, pat with paper towels to remove excess oil, and crumble into pieces. Set aside.

2- Mix the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Robin Hood All-Purpose Flour, Magic Baking Powder, and Windsor Table Salt.
Gradually add the water, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Incorporate the melted Gay Lea Butter into the dough.

3- Add Cheese and Bacon:

Fold the Cracker Barrel Cheddar Cheese and crumbled bacon into the dough.
Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and all ingredients are well distributed.

4- Bake the Bannock:

Shape the dough into a flat disc about 1-inch thick and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bannock is golden brown on top and cooked through.

5- Serve:

Allow the bannock to cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
Garnish with fresh chives if desired and serve warm.
