| Campers' Bread | |||
| Preparation Method: | over a fire in a frying pan | ||
| Serves: | Feeds two hungry people. | ||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | |||
| Food Items Needed: | 1 c flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 c or less water (add cautiously) OPTIONAL: 1 T sugar (for crispier crust) 1 fresh or powdered egg (for thickness and richness) milk instead of water 1 T cinnamon 1/3 T shortening (to keep quality, use Crisco) |
||
| At Home Prep: | (Mix dry ingredients at home and put in Ziploc bag.) | ||
| In Camp Prep / Cooking Instructions: | Heat and grease the camp frying pan. Remove about 2 T from plastic bag and hold in reserve. Stir in only enough water, about 1/2 c, to make a firm dough. Work this with the fingertips to blend thoroughly. If it is too wet, add the reserve dry ingredients. Form dough into a round cake, about 1" thick. It will not have a soggy center (and will be crustier) if you poke a finger through the middle of the cake, and shape a hole 2" in diameter. (Shape is like a donut or bagel.) The loaf will be about 8" across. Lay bread in the warm, oiled skillet. Baking will take approximately 15 - 30 minutes. When a bottom crust has formed, shake it loose so that it does not get stuck. When the dough has hardened, flip it over with the help of a spatula. Brown the two sides evenly by turning the bread occasionally. If a lively fire is going, prop the pan at an angle so the heat will reach the bread from the top. The bread is done when tapping the crust yields a hard, hollow sound (such as a bagel.) If you discover that it not done when you break off a piece, put the bread back in the skillet for a few more minutes. The bread can also be tested with a wooden splinter inserted in the dough; if it comes out clean and dry, it is done. Serve immediately. | ||

| Sourdough Rolls | |||
| Preparation Method: | Box Oven or home oven | ||
| Serves: | |||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | Box Oven or home oven unglazed floor tiles, pizza stone, really flat rock, or similar bowl spoon clean flat working surface |
||
| Food Items Needed: | Flour Yeast Water |
||
| At Home Prep: | None | ||
| In Camp Prep / Cooking Instructions: | Mix together a packet or chunk of yeast, a cup or two of flour, and enough water to make a sloppy dough. Cover with a damp cloth or put in a covered plastic keeper, and let the mixture rest until it rises and collapses--as little as three hours in the summer or a week in the fridge. Mix in as much flour and water as you used the first time, and divide the mixture in half. Put one half in the fridge for next time so you will never have to buy yeast again, and use the second half for rolls. Knead flour into the second half until the mixture forms a ball. Don't add too much flour now, you can catch up later. Let the dough rest about ten minutes and then knead about 20 minutes, until it feels like your earlobe in a pinch test. You may need to work in some more flour now or call for backup kneaders. This is WORK! Cover the dough with a damp cloth or put it back in the keeper until it doubles in size. A girl's sweatshirt pouch is just the right temperature, and a moderate hike is about the right time. Knead the dough again for about five minutes. Shape into logs about 3" x 1". Put the logs on a floured surface to rise until doubled--about an hour in July, forever in December. Meanwhile preheat your baking surface to about 350 degrees. Unglazed earthenware floor tiles are best; use others at your own risk. Toss the risen logs onto the hot surface and bake about 20 minutes. Let the surface heat up again before you bake the next batch. Big logs make bread, but it's hard to find large tiles. |
