Traditional Bannock Bread

Bannock is a traditional Native American food, and one that I grew up with.  It has gotten us through some very cold winters and is great with a small meal of soup and salad, or as an afternoon or late evening snack.  I eat mainly gluten free, but bannock is one of those things I let myself cheat with.  It's just too good!
