Summarize this article:

Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and place the dough on top. Shape it into big, flat circle or oval shape. Piercing the bannock before it goes in the oven will ensure it bakes evenly. You can also spread butter all over the top with a basting brush before putting into the oven to give it an extra shine. Place your bannock loaf on a clean baking sheet. Bake your bannock in the oven until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the top of the bread comes out clean. Take the bannock out of the oven and leave it to cool off. Then, slice it into squares and enjoy it with jam or butter.
Shape the dough into a flat circle 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Prick the top of the dough in several places with a fork. Bake at 375 °F (191 °C) for 20-25 minutes. Allow the bannock to cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve it.
