Pilgrim looking for a simple wheat/ raisin bread

I'd call that a bannock. looks mighty tasty.
I see it was done in the oven; campfire next ?

Did you try toasting it ? I'll bet it would be good toasted and toasting was a common period thing.
Put some jam on it and you're in heaven.

Looking forward to loaf #2

I did lightly toast some with jam and it was great! As soon as it warms up some and the snow melts camp fire on a fishing trip sounds like a plan

My family were some of the first fur trappers that came from France to Quebec! They settled there married locals and after giving 3 years of service to France were given land and became free trappers. They later immigrated to Maine, Vermont and finally RI. I have it all documented after many years of research. The hunting fishing and trapping traditions were handed down to me from my dad and the rest of the family!

For one of my family members, no problem! The two brothers I was talking about are Gillaume and Antoine Pelletier.they shorted the name to Peltier after my great grandfather passed, go figure. Guilaume died 28/Nov/1657. Antoine died 3/Oct/1647. He drowned when his canoe overturned at Montmorency falls. The family is buried in Quebec’s first Cemetery. Have pics of the plaques and want to visit them in person. Keep in touch please Art
