So, what does this have to do with canoeing and camping? Try this out! First, go get yourself a reflector oven, under 30$. Next, open up your cookbook and find a recipe for DOUBLE RISE bread. Follow the directions making note to not let the liquid get to hot or not hot enough. Around 120 degrees will activite the yeast nicely. When the first rise is done cut your dough into loaves and wrap, first lightly coating with vegetable oil (that's what I use, anyway) Now, pop those babies in the freezer and wait for the next trip.
So, here you are on the river. The sun is setting, the fire is blazing, especially if you have the Shackleboy, Pyromaniac along, and your newly purchased reflector oven assembled. Place your gorgous loaves of DOUBLE RISE bread in the reflector oven and get comfortable near-by. The trick here is to make sure you are near enough to check the dough often. I cover mine with some foil but don't completely wrap them. If your oven is positioned right, your fire is good, you should notice the dough rising. In about an hour you'll have dough ready to cook. I leave it in the reflector oven, crank the fire some and watch as those beauties turn a golden brown. Keep a stick handy to beat Shackleboy off with, he'll want to hurry the process with an over abundant supply of wood. And, don't listen to anyone who says you should have thawed the dough out earlier in the day. Patience is the key here. When you have the boys fighting over the last piece like a bunch of dogs in heat you'll know you done good.
