To get the bread to bake a little faster you can "preheat" your cooking pot by putting it out in the oven for half an hour or so before you add the dough to it. Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top to simulate browning (food doesn't really brown in solar ovens). Also, it's really really really hard to burn something in a solar oven. Great video and the bread looks delish!

@athenaprime It was SUPER delish! And thank-you VERY much for your recommendations. We're in Vietnam right now and tried the cinnamon here... it is UN-BE-Lievably good. Will have to send some home for more delish cinnamon bread.

If you want light bread you want a wetter dough. Just put any amount of flour then add water till its wet enough, pretty wet and sticky, so wet it does not hold up very well, so it gets lower and wider if its a bun loaf, if its in a mould it will wont matter if it does not hold up, the sides of the mould hold it.. Would it cook quicker if the funnel cookers were bigger.? I mix it the night before so it can prove and knead it on floured board into the 2 loaves next day. rose.

@jbloch69 Rose, those are GREAT tips! Thank-you. Actually, the bread would bake quicker in a different type of solar cooker... instead of a funnel cooker, I would use an actual solar oven... or I would make my solar funnel cooker out of mirrors glued to an old antenna dish instead. You could get much warmer temps with that kind of an oven.

Hi, been enjoying your adventures in solar cooking! Let me make a suggestion. Find a nice black enamel roasting pan. Many times you can find them at goodwill and other second hand stores. A vessel that is black enamel inside and out cooks very evenly and will even brown your foods better, and ALWAYS use an oven roasting bag. The bags keep the temps constant and make sure you have the bag fixed so that no heat is lost. I fold mine over and over then clip with the spring type clothes pins.

Yep I made a heavens flame cooker made a chicken stew with it the 170 was good enough to do the bread you made there. nice and the aluminum printing plate was a great idea.

What's a heavens flame cooker? Thanks for commenting!

A heavens flame cooker is a box that has reflectors placed on top of it to funnel the sun in. You saw my attached video? You can find the plans for this and other cookers on solarcookingdotorg/plans
