You guys have to put out a recipe book, both for outdoor cooking and the same recipes tweaked for modern stove/oven cooking. Some of us live in apartments and are not allowed to make fire pits outside. Management frowns on that.

I tried the right-on-the-embers method and it worked great! I think that using very hot fresh embers was the reason that there was little ash. I left quite a lot of flour on the surface of the dough, and brushed it off before eating.

@jasonsteel1002 -- It is very likely since the rations for British Soldiers included bread OR flour. It flour was issued, it was often the soldier's responsibility to incorporate it into his diet.

@HowToHistory -- The Scots were known for centuries to have cooked bannock bread on hot flat stones. It is very reasonable to assume the technique was used by colonial-era soldiers. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Which tomahawk is that?

@statenisland7181 The one in the video is an old hawk I had in the stake box, Our th-54 hawk would be very similar just a bit bigger.
Thanks

Speaking of "ash isn't going to hurt you a bit" at 9:14, one of my friends told me that clean, hardwood ashes can be used in place of baking powder as a leavening agent in baking campfire breads to make them rise.

@SageBlackthorn What you are referring to is pearl ash and it is made from hardwood ash but it is not just ash unprocessed. Stay tuned for future episodes where we cover the topic more in depth.

Could you have used a flat rock in the middle of the coals?
HowToHistory 3 months ago
@HowToHistory Yes, that can work but it is faster and probably better just to put it in the coals, very little of the ashes stick to the cakes we made.
