Soda bread is lovely, I have made it with Guinness and apple its so filling.

I can't imagine how anything made with Guinness can be lovely I'm going to have to take your word for it.

Ever tried Guiness Batterd Cod. LOVELY!!!



Sundays I have started dedicated to "Prepping Cooking Practice" Cooking meals only with food and utilities that are available from my prepping storage so will be trying out some of these different styles of bread. Thanks for the recipes and info

You can't beat food and alcohol

I tried Bannock this week as i too am looking for bread i can make in camp, i use Hovis bread mix at home (with a 1/4 cup of Lidl rye flour added), it is just add water, im yet to try it in my dutch oven, but there is no reason it wont be as good as at home, but bannock......?

It was rubbish and what is all the Milk or Butter milk or milk powder all about, you cant get it out of a tree?

So i am looking for a bread without dairy, i suppose that is flatbreads which are nice.

Thanks for sharing that link. Definitely going to try and have a practice at the different Bannock recipes. Will be interesting so see photos of anyone elses attempts

The most succesful one yet, i think its more a Damper, than a bannock and i recon less kneeding next time, i put everything in the bowl before i had crumbed in the lard so had to mix in the lard at the same time as the water!

So i down sized one of those recipies (thanks to Mrs.Munchh) to make a two person serving:

(I used some of those mesuring things that are actual 'cup' measures to make it simple)

1&1/4 cups Plain Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1&1/2 tablespoon lard
1/2 cup cold water

sorry couldn't stop eating it while hot, so forgot to take a pic when it was whole!

I knew Bannock was taken to America by Scottish trappers, i just watched a Ray mears vid where an Native North American Indian just made it at a ratio of 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, pinch salt, add water, cooked on top of the stove, i'll be trying that next.

just thinking of the most simple vac pac you could have in your pac, can you keep flour and baking powder together for long??
