There’s nothing like fresh baked bread! I’m sharing with you a very simple bread recipe you can make at home or at camp.
You’ll need:
4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1.5 - 2 cups water
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
parchment paper
cast iron pan/dutch oven
Combine 3 cups flour, yeast and salt. Gradually add in water and oil. Mix until well combined. You want the dough to be sticky and smooth, not watery. If you’ve added too much water it will pool at the bottom (just pour out excess or add some more flour). Cover and let sit a room temperature for about 1-2 hours until the dough has doubled in size.
Generously coat the dough with flour and work it into a ball and place on a large piece of parchment paper.
Campfire: build up your fire with some hot coals, ideally try to use hard woods and bigger logs to get a roaring fire. Make sure the fire has simmered down, ideally no more flames and just glowing coals. Place your dough on some parchment paper and place in a cast iron dutch oven or pan. Place some hot coals on top to make sure the bread cooks evenly. Watch that bread like a hawk! Coals are HOT! Regularly check the bread, once browned, remove from heat and assess. If burning or browning too quickly, push coals away and keep checking until you get the desired tastiness.
Conventional Over: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and place an empty cast iron dutch oven in oven to warm for 30 min. Carefully remove hot dutch oven and place the dough on the parchment paper into the pot. Transfer back to oven and cook covered for 30 minutes. Carefully remove life and continue baking for an additional 10-15 min until bread is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool. Voila!
We are also sharing a sneak peak of our cabin build, sustainably built with 100% self-harvested materials. To follow the cabin build and to learn more about woodlot management check out my husbands channel: @TrustinTimber
