bushcraft bread challenge

[SNOmultimedia]

Looks like that must have been self-rising flour.

[EpicWeaponries]

u say put 2 cups of flour into 1 cup ? what ?

[PrepperAZ]

there are things I would have done differently, but still a good video.

[hurc662000]

ash/dirt flavored bread, you can't get anymore bushcraft than that. lol !

[FraterAeternus93]

omnomnomnom.. your reaction? CUTE! wtf..

[musicoutsidethebox]

why did you take it out of the pot to bake it?

[WildyJohn]

Nice! I have a couple questions, though. First, how does the bread taste without any yeast or rising process? Second, I know it varies, but how long did bake it in the coals? Great video!

[Dejavo]

Perhaps wrap it in a big leaf if possible? I enjoyed the video.

[skunkape49]

part of a charcoil rich diet lol sounds extra crunchy

[bearycrafty]

Great video. I have Cooked in the ashes before, but always used foil or a tin can. Can't wait to try this method.

[TheGods1marine]

Wow this looks like North Carolina

and nice job on the bread

[rabbitphobia]

Mmmm!!! charcoaly........

[CoolKillerClan]

hot stone is a neater way of doing it

[19countryboy71]

When I first relized what you were doing I thought well its going to be all dirty and ashy but dang that looked good. I will def try this when I get time. Thanks for the video.

[EconoChallenge]

You should try cooking it on a wood fired hobo stove. Makes less of an impact and also does a much better job of baking your bread. Not into the dirt myself.

[flatwoodtrackers]

that was really cool.I'm going to have to try that..thank for sharing

[giutoniolo]

Thanks man! Im gonna try it soon! It looks good from here! Peace!

[joeclapper]

thats awsome thank you i will have to try this

[OTEP1234567891011]

Do you think that you might have added just a little bit too much water?

[zbfc]

for the cooking i wil choose foil paper around the mass an trow to the live fire short time 2 or five minutes and you will have a great bread to eat and for eating for later heat put a little of water on the shell of the bread an heat on grill or in the air

[metal0artist0kyle]

Hah! Bushbread, sounds like something found in bed, not in the wilderness!

[reelthing4u]

@metal0artist0kyle is that what you call those little crumbes of tp bushbread?

[iBucalov]

nice vid man!!!!!!! )) thanks!!!

[practicool]

Cool

[69Grunden]

The bread looks like it was good. Just needed a little coffee or tea.

[TheUnknownRandomGuy]

Looks good lil burnt but good :) 5/5

[IWFJK]

i was like... " wtf is that guy doing" as soon as he started covering it with coals

[rbvmtr]

Hay , try mixing in the ziplock its easier and less mess on your hands ! just passing on the experiances !

[TheDiscoveryNetworks]

good job man

[pyroman675]

come to think of that you could make pizza bring a can of tomatoes some vegetables or fruit you could make pizza

[SoundPath]

@pyroman675 hell yeah, wrap some cheese up in the dough and it'll be like a calzone.

[pyroman675]

i forgot CHEESE man like come on how could i forgot and pepperoni mmmmmmm so good im drooling now lol

[survivalkid2452]

you have forgotten one of the main ingredients of pizza which is CHEESE!!!!

[BernhardHofmann]

Another way of making it is to roll it onto a stick and hold that above the heat and out of the dirt and ash. Cleaner again and just as good.

[assassin616]

thats what i have done in the past, good method

[BernhardHofmann]

Pour the water into the bag and mix it in the bag - less mess and you don't end up with half your loaf on the ground.

[stuemcfly]

easy damper.but i never carry 1kg of flour on me or under my seat. good view but champ!

[Boomrod]

#t=2m09s I heard a fart..

[TheLordRose]

Doesnt yeast make the lifetime shorter though? I thought that was the whole idea since it can be eaten a week later...

[Nitrisbot]

cooking straight in the fire is not that bad ppl.. It may not look the best but its all flavour. sorta like cooking on a well used bbq. Harden up all of u.

[tempestaisback]

Yeah, I have to agree with most of the other comments. There is no reason to have to cook it that way. Its not a matter of survival because no one just happens the stuff needed to make bread so the fact that you didnt have something as simple as aluminum foil is just sloppy.

[Boomrod]

@tempestaisback ppl have cooked in ashes for centuries, only in the last 200 years have we really started to make use of pans. so what is sloppy anyway?

[tempestaisback]

yeah but like i said, if he carried the mixture anyways why couldnt he atleast also carry a peice of tin foil?

[allthingsrandom190]

isnt more of a pancake

[kooxoh]

that shits a cookie lol

[ArtisanTony]

i have baked it in the metal pot too, why on ground and ashes

[ArtisanTony]

lol put salt in water first it mixes better and not all flour at once.

[TEEWEE01]

yummmmmm not

[sifushox]

you realy are an amater,sorry you must learn,but if its the 1 time that you make it than I forgive you hehe

[tonymengela]

keep some some small yeast packs in your kits double the bread with the same amount of flour

[Nitrisbot]

@tonymengela well it does not really double ur bread. It makes it less dense and increases the volume by aerating it .. but there is same amount of energy in it. So you would have to eat what looks like more to get same energy out of it. Im with u though, id be putting yeast in it for sure.. ends up making a better all round bread.

[1too3fore]

maybe in 2 steps, make pizza on hot rock?

[bshupejr]

I think this vid is a great idea and a tremendously powerful argument for packing aluminum foil with you.  lol

[bigsammieking]

I thought the bread would gross (ashy, burnt, dirty) but it wasn't at all. Well done and thank you for the education

[JimminyPricket]

Great vid, man.

How do you think it would cook if you placed a palm down to place it on, then one on top before adding the coals back?

[borderraven]

Here's idea

Bread

3 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup 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 rounds. Bake until golden.

[tim3jones]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bisnonnocanapa]

you can use same technique with potatoes onions chestnuts mushrooms and many other things you can find in the bush(do it only if you're ABSOLUTELY shure that is NOT POISONOUS STUFF!!)

[wildernessjunkie]

Ive used this technique many, many times. What makes it easy and cleaner though, is if you add the water to the ziplock, seal it up, and knead it in the bag. Then take it out. I use the same bag throughout the trip, with a separate bag to hold my flour mixture. (Usually Flour and Bisquick). Keeps your hands clean and works like a charm. Sometimes Ill add some spices to the bread, just to change it up a bit. Happy Trails...

[TheMrHarryShow]

wat flour do u use

[yalgret2]

nice video but cavemen didn't have metal cups

still thanks good video

[JD11883]

the dough on a stick thing is called bannock in the states. pretty interesting having so many names.

[assassin616]

and in england thats the technical name for it, i love eating bannock with maple syrup, its so easy to do

[eddegoei]

Mmmmm well yeah now make bread without the flour cause i don't see the point here....

[tigerboyav]

eddegoei...if you were out in the wild and you ground down corn and got corn flour...there you go all natural cornflour

[statesmanls1]

In australia we call it damper. Try making the dough into a ball and then wrapping around a stick. That way you can cook it like a spit and then you don't get ashes etc on it.

[bisnonnocanapa]

here in north italy we heat a flat thin stone called LOSA with fire under and we cook on top of it,and not just bread but obviously the meat too,and tastes GREAT!

[4770589]

so was that only flower, water, and salt?

[PSNTheMoleMan]

holy shit thats very dry wood

[bfxp63]

great job looks good.....5/5

[qriller]

Or... in a survival situation you could just eat the dough....... But dont flame me. I would like to try this some day. But its much easyier to put the dough on a stick and grill it lika a hotdog over the flames. In sweden we call it PINNBRÖD its nice. Peace, out

[mattimus00matt]

thanks for the vid!

well done!

[UbeefHooked]

In Australia, we call that Damper, The Ozzie Aborigines have been making it out of spinnifex flower for about 40,000+ years (as far as we know). Trick is to bury it under hot sand and put the coals on top of the sand. When it's done the sand wipes off fairly easy. If there are any flames the it'll burn

[wildernessurvival]

alsome video!!! can you add and kind of fruits like berrys??? i was just wondering

[hobbexp]

nice , i have not try to make bread that way, i gonna try that next time im out,

[wildernessurvival]

nice challenge when does it end?

[SkogKniv]

Very good! I will be doing mine in a week or so. Should be fun. Don't be afraid to talk next time haha. 10/5

[wildernesswikiup14]

nice vid zipdog! 5/5 i'll get out soon and give mine a shot... again lol. is this due end of april or when?

[kakashi198522]

whats the mix recipe

[EnergyDog23]

Flour

Water

Salt

[bricardiff1969]

thanks for that,i do the same,but put the mix in a freezer bag much cleaner,nice one,

[zipdog23]

good idea! ill have to try that, i guess it would kneed just as well through the bag? and nothing gets on your hands.

[bricardiff1969]

keep the videos coming.thanks

[TSCO420]

@zipdog23 always double bag it, lol.

[Mattrocks1231]

Kind of like a pancake? but on 2 sticks? lol

[Mattrocks1231]

Looks great! I will definatly try this soon, as there is only really 3 steps

1. Make fire

2 Mix ingredients

3 Cook!

One question though, instead of putting it in the ashes could I put the slab on 2 sticks and cook over the flames, flipping when one side is cooked?

[zipdog23]

i have no idea how that would turn out, but its worth a try, go for it!

[wildernesswikiup14]

it works. ive rolled dough onto a stick and done it liek that and it works but if you dough isnt perfect consistancy you will have much trouble getting it to stay

[Mattrocks1231]

Ok I think I will try it, but I will be extra careful and make sure my dough doesn't fall into the fire lol

[wildernesswikiup14]

lol yeah i burned my hand when i pulled mine out after it fell in lol.

[Mattrocks1231]

Yeah I just tried to make bread but I kinda had an epic fail lol. I didn't have enough flour so it wasn't the right consistancy and I didn't cook

[wildernessurvival]

same here dude

[Mattrocks1231]

Yeah kinda stinks, you need like 3 times as much flour as you do water.
