Hmm, if I mix the cheese into the dough... everything tastes better with cheese, right? :).<br /><br />- Badtux the Cheese-eating PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1173550679643647022012-01-10T16:51:10.293-08:002012-01-10T16:51:10.293-08:00That sounds like a tasty meal.

I usually make biscuits and eat them with soup, but I think I'll try the bannock recipe.oldwhiteladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966442124843256715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-32194254158939712332012-01-10T13:06:34.221-08:002012-01-10T13:06:34.221-08:00Did I ever drop a link on you to the restaurant in...Did I ever drop a link on you to the <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/85/1507438/restaurant/British-Columbia/Kelowna/Kekuli-Cafe-Westbank" rel="nofollow">restaurant in rural British Columbia that highlights its bannock?</a> Run by a cheerful First Nations woman. Her slogan is "Don't panic! We've got bannock!" I ate there once on a trip to the wine-growing region around Lake Okanagan. The bannock, which is light and fluffy like doughnut dough, is used for burger buns. Quite nice!<br /><br />Captcha is "rosti" which is a Swiss version of fried potatoes, like hashbrowns. And I'm stuck at work eating leftovers to clear out the fridge.

It took about five minutes to get all the ingredients together and made into a flat cake, and another twelve minutes to fry it turning it from time to time to cook it evenly through from side to side, during which time I was also cleaning the dishes dirtied in making it and putting the soup into the microwave to warm it up. The soup came out of the microwave just as the bread was done. All in all, the whole meal took less than twenty minutes to cook (and clean up, remember, since I was cleaning up as it was cooking), not as quick as just warming the soup in the microwave and grabbing store-bought crackers, but still pretty quick. <br /><br />Amazing that one cup of flour can be so filling though...<br /><br />Still thinking about crackers. Maybe that'll be the next thing I try. One problem is that crackers take up a lot of oven space and I don't have much of an oven (it is one of the very first self-cleaning ovens ever made, and thus has more insulation and less oven than is currently the fashion).
