We south African know all about BBQ and baking bread over a camp fire. Here is one of our delicious recipes

Pot Bread - Ruffly translated

5ml (1tsp) Dry yeast
5ml (1tsp) Sugar
125ml lukewarm water
15ml Honey
1cup warm milk
1cup warm water
15ml Oil
15ml salt
6cups Bread Flour (Brown or white)

Method

Spread oil in a Iron pot and lid (very important)
Mix the sugar and lukewarm water till all the sugar is gone. Add the yeast - DO NOT STIR OR MIX - Wait till the yeast looks all fluffy
Add honey, warm milk, warm water, oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
Add bread flour to the mixture and stir with a wooden spoon.
Put the dough in the pot in a warm area so it can rise till it is about double the size.
Now you can put on fire for about 40-60min.

Making Bread

Making your own bread needs a little hard work but it's great fun and the delicious smell and taste of freshly baked bread makes it all worth while.
You can make a white or wholemeal loaf from this recipe depending on which flour you use.

Ingredients:
225g (1 ½ Cups) Strong plain white flour or plain wholemeal flour
1 level teaspoon salt
1 level teaspoon sugar
15g (1 level tbspoon) soft tub margarine
1 sachet (6g) easy blend dried yeast or fast action easy blend dried yeast
150 ml (2/3 cup) warm water - NOT HOT!


What To Do:
Get an ADULT to help!
Wash your hands thoroughly in soap and water.
Collect all the tools and ingredients together.
Put the flour in the mixing bowl and add the sugar and the salt.
Add the margarine and rub into the flour using your finger tips.
Add the dried yeast and stir into the flour mix
Add all the water at once to the flour mix and stir together using the wooden spoon.
Use your hands as the dough gets tough and when it leaves the sides of the bowl clean (add a little more flour if it is too sticky), put the dough onto a floured surface.
Now the hard work! The dough will feel tight and lumpy and you must 'knead' it to make it smooth and stretchy. Push your hands into the dough, gather it back into a ball, turn it slightly and then repeat. Do this for about 5 minutes until the dough feels smooth.
Shape the dough into your own design or use one of the ideas below and place it on the greased baking tray.
Cover the shape with the oiled cling film to stop it drying out and then put the tray in a warm place so that the yeast can work and make the dough rise. In winter this might be the airing cupboard, or in summer the kitchen itself may be warm enough.
Now set the oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas Mark 8
When the loaf shape has about doubled in size (after about 30 minutes), remove the cling film and place the tray in the centre of the oven.
Bake the loaf for 20-25 minutes. It should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath.
Put the loaf on a wire rack to cool and the tuck in!

Answer 3

I had this recipe in Canada at a Heritage Park in Calgary. It was made by the Indians there and was very good.

INDIAN FRY BREAD

3 c flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c warm water

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Add warm water in small amounts and knead dough until soft but not sticky. Adjust flour or water as needed. Cover bowl and let stand about 15 minutes. Pull off large egg-sized balls of dough and roll out into fairly thin frounds. Fry rounds in hot oil until bubbles appear on the dough, turn over and fry on the other side until golden. Serve hot. Try brushing on honey, or making into an Indian Taco.

Answer 4

Use a roll of the LARGE refrigerated biscuits. (such as pillsbury) and arrange slightly apart inside a dutch oven. Put in the coals of your campfire and on top of the lid. Allow to remain about 20 minutes, take out of the coals, and serve.

Answer 5

take a cardboard box line with foil insert a shelf for baking and an alumium pan with coals/firewood. Made this back in girl scouts 20 yrs ago. you can bake in it. Easy bread reciepe (don't know how well it will translate b/c you need to keep the temp at about 350 for an hour.)

3 cups bread flour 3 tbsp sugar, 1 beer, combine and bake at 350 for an hour.

Answer 6

I knew a guy who could do this pretty well, he kept the loaves small and used a dutch oven, I would suggest trying it out BEFORE the campling trip and by trial and error getting good at it, BEFORE the camping trip. lol - good luck

make sure you let the fire burn down to hot coals before you start ( use plenty of wood ) depending on where you are camping you may have to bring your own wood.

Answer 8

Take along a box of Jiffy cornbread mix, along with all the necessary ingredients. Make it in a skillet over the fire.

Answer 9

will never work your only chance is to bake it ahead and then reheat it over the fire. Bread baking requires very specific temp. and even heat. Direct heat will not work, you have to get the convection and radiant heat only an oven (possibly a covered propane grill) will be able to provide.

As my grandmother used to say:
"You roll the dough, just so." <}:-})
