- 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.
