Recipe of the Week: Camp Bread

Quarantine has sparked a resurgence of made-from scratch baking. It got me thinking…

My favorite time to cook is by a campfire. I also love gluten-filled carbs when I work hard. Can these two worlds collide? Turns out they can. And rather easily. Try out this OH SO SIMPLE campfire bread recipe and let me know what you think!

Do you have a favorite recipe? Care to share?!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup of water

  • Oil for frying (we use reusable baby food pouches for our oil)

  • Optional additional spices: rosemary, caroway, black pepper, etc.

Preparation:

  1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and optional spice. Place dry mix in a sturdy container - Stasher bags are our favorite (lightweight, flexible and sturdy). Pack mix with all your other adventure food!

  2. If you plan to cook over an open flame, follow Smokey the Bears safety rules, then get your coals good and hot, so you can keep a low flame.

  3. When you are ready to start baking, add a half-cup of water to your dry mix and combine thoroughly. Add additional water as needed.

  4. Separate dough into 4 equal parts. Roll and flatten each section.

  5. Heat a small amount of oil in your pan on your cook stove or open flame, then add one section of bread and cook for ~3 minutes on each side, or until done.

  6. ENJOY!
