Preheat the oven to 375°F and set the oven rack to the middle.

Prep a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.

In a large bowl, add 4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of baking powder.

Mix the dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Pour in 2.5 cups of warm milk and 0.5 cup of canola oil into the well.

Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.

Sprinkle extra flour on a work surface and turn the dough out onto it.

Knead the dough gently until it becomes smooth and round, ensuring it is not sticky.

Flatten the dough to about 1 inch thick on the baking sheet.

Dock the surface of the dough with the back of a wooden spoon to prevent it from popping up while baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, checking for a golden brown color and aroma.

Remove the bannock from the baking sheet and place it on a cooling rack to cool completely before cutting.
