Prepare a pre-made bannock mix or use instant pizza crust mix as a base.

Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bannock mix.

Gradually add water to the mix until you achieve a flaky, bread-like consistency.

Mix the dough in a small mixing bag until combined.

Prepare two flat pieces of bannock dough, making them as thin as possible.

Place baking paper inside the pan to prevent sticking.

Lay the first piece of dough in the pan on the baking paper.

Add cheese in the center of the dough, keeping the edges free of stuffing.

Place the second piece of dough over the cheese and fold the edges over to seal it.

Press the edges tightly to create a crust.

Gently flatten the stuffed dough to form a patty.

Set up your cooking environment with an alcohol stove and simmer ring for low heat.

Place the stuffed bannock in the pan and cover with foil to create heat and moisture.

Check the bottom of the bannock for doneness and flip it using baking paper to avoid sticking.

Cover again with foil and continue cooking until the desired browning is achieved.

Remove the foil and increase heat for additional browning if desired.
