Traditional Bannock

According to CBC, “The Inuit call it 'palauga,' it's 'luskinikn' to the Mi'kmaq, while the Ojibway call it 'ba`wezhiganag’ … from north to south and coast to coast, just about every Indigenous nation across North America has some version of bannock.” This specific fry bread recipe comes from Southern Vancouver Island, where the bread is often enjoyed with seasonal jam or smoked salmon.
