Description
Bannock baking involves cooking a traditional flatbread over medium-high heat, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
Technical
The Maillard reaction occurs when the dough is exposed to heat, resulting in the characteristic browning and flavor of bannock. This reaction is a non-enzymatic browning reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars, which contributes to the development of the bread's flavor, aroma, and color.
