Cookin' with Coalcracker: Camp Bread

[@karenfolsom1003]

A little thump on bottom, after removing from pan, will let you know if it's done. It will have a hollow sound. I am a 69 year old grandma and I just subed your channel. Love it. Don't do much camping any more but try to keep as many skills and info available. Never know know when zombies will come. Thanks for sharing your outdoor knowledge.

[@rocksteady2054]

Your a pretty cool grandma in my book karen!

[@celtgunn9775]

Wouldn't a gentle thump in the center accomplish the same without having to try and dump the bread out? I'm just curious. To be honest, I wish my husband was more interested in saving the old ways. I sure am. I've been struggling to teach myself many different skills. Thank God for KZbin. You can find so much there.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Yup, thanks for the tip Karen, and I’m glad you’re prepared for zombies. It could be any day!

[@victorcastle1840]

@@celtgunn9775 , You are so right ! That is how I have learn all about primitive fire making along with flint and steel. The latter was used not to long ago by most of our great grandparents or another generation back, depending on your youth . I have made a lot of char cloth and can pretty well find a chert or quartz about any where around here. I am no cook, but want to give bread a try. I like bannock , but know bread would be nice at times with some things . Do you watch James Townsend channel ? I have bought some of the early writing books on cooking also, from his website Townsend and son. The writing in them that goes along with some of the books, make them very interesting. Cheerio

[@missadel20]

karen folsom your a smart woman!!! Always working to hone my skills myself!!!♥️

[@kathyesargent9088]

I’m 70 and I’m camping in my backyard. Bought all new gear. Last night was my first night out and loved it. Got down to 55 degrees.bout a 8 man tent two rooms I can stand, set and sleep so good. Love your videos.

well yes it is but you must take into consideration the he has a full production crew with him...

[@eielson1978]

What I like to do to keep my Bread from getting stale is to Cut From the Middle. If you're taking only one slice then you make your 2 Cuts on Either Side of Center. That way you just slide the loaf together to keep the air out. If you're taking 2 Slices or More then Cut the Loaf in the Center and Take a Slice off of Each Side and then slide it together and it Keeps Much Better.

[@kachiri]

I'll just stick to my simple 4-ingredient bread. Not sure which one it is (chapati, bannock, flatbread). I put flour in a bowl, add margarine/butter, sat and warm water (I use warm water to help the butter/margarine melt in). Once all that is in, I start mixin' it up with my hand(s). If it's sticky, I add more flour. I do guess the measurement of stuff and it turns out good for me. When it's ready, I take pieces and make them flat and rounded, then put them in the hot pan of oil to cook up. Flip to cook other side and that piece is ready. I usually end up with 4 or 5 pieces to eat. Then today, I decided to to try add _roasted garlic mayo_ on them and it was so good! The closest grocery store to me is a Sobeys and they make their own _roasted garlic mayo_ product along with other products as well. Some of their stuff is better than _brand names_ and some is worse. But this mayo is awesome!

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

I've bought a Dutch oven after seeing you cook in them. I'm looking forward to screwing stuff up as I learn LOL 😆😆

[@phillipdavis1533]

There are sites that teach how to use a Dutch oven. I love them! Cook slow, taste better😁👍✝️🇱🇷

[@Jaden48108]

A Dutch oven is no joke. I've done many a campfire recipes and it's all about intuition and mothering the food cooking. Or bread.

I figured you for dutch, Dan. Close enough I guess. Lol.

[@wolvenmoonstone8138]

if you save some of the dough and add some flour and water every day you can make sourdough starter you'll never have to buy yeast again :)

[@JNChannel95]

@Winston Smith it is true. Sourdough starter can be used for generations if kept alive.

[@JNChannel95]

@Winston Smith Sourdough starter is literally only water and flour given time for natural yeasts to grow, for that the surrounding temperature shouldn't be much less than 20°C. One can begin with adding something sweet like sugar, honey or apple sauce for example to hasten the process in the beginning. I've made sourdough bread myself, so I know.

[@levisloan198]

Yeah but then it’s like a pet, you gotta feed it all the time. It might even start asking for walks.

[@JNChannel95]

@@levisloan198 Not really. When kept in the fridge you don't have to feed it for a couple of months.

[@Taylor_in_Southern_Oregon]

You can keep it alive, but it won't be sourdough. Ever. Commercial yeast and wild yeasts are quite different.

[@artiknanook9189]

When you took the first bite, the smile in your face tell more than words. I want to take this opportunity to wish you a happy holiday season, and, most of all, for 2018, peace and a lot of zen moments in wood. Eric, Canada

[@celtgunn9775]

I agree, the peace & joy at that very first bite of freshly baked bread... Well, I am not so sure what compares. Bread is so embedded with Home and Hearth that we take it for granted now days. But not everyone can bake it! They should learn to, I think. My son & daughter can. Moreso my daughter, because my son would rather cook meats, potatoes etc. 😊

[@johnf7017]

Dan, you are like a bushcrafting Martha Stewart! You got some skills sir! I have used a few cabbage leaves under my Dutch oven bread at reenactments. It never burns on the bottom and you don't taste cabbage either. Merry X mas Dan thanks for all you do sir and as always sharing your knowledge.

Ok, if and when SHTF, I found who I'm teamin up with...lol. I was thinking about starting up a series like this. You give not only the best advice, but inspiration as well. I mess around and joke about "wish you were my neighbor" and stuff, but all seriousness, you sir are everything cool. And even though it doesn't mean alot, I want to thank you. I watch your videos with my nephew, and a coworker of mine and his kid, to get tips and whatnot, and funny thing is we don't ever watch your stuff without the other(s) being around..lol. so you kinda started a tradition thing as well. So seriously keep the vidz coming, and can't wait to see other stuff you will/have posted.

[@gregdolan340]

Good job Dan! Looks great.

[@laeiiily]

It looks perfectly done! It was good to see you smile so much.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Looks delicious. A variation in yeast bread that I don't remember seeing before. Omitting punching it down for a second, shorter, rise. Your end result sure didn't look like it needed it. I was wishing for butter when you cut off that first slice. Merry Christmas to you and yours. May ya'll have a blessed New Year. Thanks for sharing.

[@chadlitteral5080]

Very nice!

And from out of nowhere, a coyote runs into the camp and makes of with the fresh baked bread.

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Had that happen except it was racoons. Blasted critters! 😁 They ate better than we did that night!

[@rocketman3474]

After watching this video the first time I went out and bought a dutch oven. I just watched it again and now I’m prepared to try to make some bread this afternoon. The look on your face when you took that first bite was priceless and I was sold.

[@BlueLabelDrinker]

Awesome...I need to give this a try!

[@marklyles1368]

That's a good skill

[@ForestDaughtersJournals]

That is a lot of sugar and yeast. You can make great bread with one package and 1/4 cup sugar per two loaves.

[@alsaunders7805]

Yeah, yeast is self propagating as long as it has food. You could just use a pinch of yeast and let it proof(activate) longer. It only cost you time, apparently he was hungry.

[@kbbjedi]

Man that bread looked so tasty. Merry Christmas!

[@grimreaper6557]

awesome video great bread idea can you also do a non yeast activated bread as well would love to see that thanks so much for the information as always

[@peterking1270]

Damn, looks good.

I am SO EXCITED TO TRY THIS!!! Thank you for your amazing work in helping us all learn wonderful techniques to try and experience in nature. This channel is becoming one of my top 3 favorites!! ♡♡♡ Keep up the good work in teaching!! What an incredible legacy you are making!! God bless you brother.

[@allanlarmour7460]

I noticed your " cup" size changed. The first cup looked like it would hold 750 ml but that next cup looked about half the size of the first cup. I am not much of a cook, more of a burn but still, I suspect these measurements are important. Your bread looks amazing lol, you sure you didn't buy that at the store? Bit of camers trickery going on? Lol I am going to buy a dutch oven today. Thanks for all the great videos, I've learned some things from yourself. Thanks again.

[@escapetherace1943]

Nice, i'd cut down the sugar definitely but that's a very handsome loaf!!!

Thanks Dan, now I have to go make bread 🥖 👍👍

[@mikerogers9711]

Freaking great looking bread. 2 thumbs up

[@MadRandomCollectable]

@0:17 You can find natural yeast in your surroundings... Have you ever noticed that white dusty looking stuff that forms on grapes or apples and other produce? That is natural yeast. You can collect it... And farm it... Grow your own yeast.

[@williampysell2819]

Nice job with making the bread, Dan. Something special about cooking things outdoors, especially in cast iron cookware!

[@野崎勉-z2p]

Very nice 😋

[@elizabethcastillo1158]

120 degrees is a bit hot for yeast. I heat mine at 105 and it works great. Don't want to kill those little guys.

[@seanzeringue1327]

Try the same bread recipe, but roll up the dough into about 9 or 10 balls, let it rise, bake...... Awsome dinner rolls!

[@thegingerpowerranger]

This video is very very similar to Ray Mears making bread

[@kristhompson8112]

Understand the cowboys of old always kept a small starter dough on the body, in a moist leather pouch ready for the next nights camp, today we have the wonders of freeze dried yeast, they say always check the use by date , not quite hitting the same romantic ideal of them old days but very handy in a sachet. cheers Kris

[@vanislerider7311]

Ya could make Bannock, which doesn't need yeast or even milk. But you already know this.

God Bless everyone!!!! Jesus Loves you all very much!!!!

[@oneprinceofamber1]

Nice! Great crumb! I like the recipe. I typically shoot for 90 to 110 degrees, or "baby bathwater". One trick i learned was to use plastic chopsticks to stir the bread until its a shaggy dough. Then its less messy on your hands to squeeze the dough bits together.

[@centralwashingtonmodernbus9456]

Very good video! Love my cast iron. Try adding about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of veg oil to your dough mix. makes the bread nicely moist.

[@johnnyriddle1059]

Those ingredient amounts are for what size dutch oven, so I can adjust amounts based on dutch oven size.

[@jimgam730]

Gotta try that recipe Btw, Like your channel. Thanks for all the vids you post.

Dan 2 awesome bread and biscuit baking. Could you tell me what size dutch oven you are using. I am looking to purchase one. You have given me inspiration and want to try the bread baking. Thanks very much. You have become one of my top channels. You make excellent how to videos.

[@realiouslytv1711]

So if I want half a loaf of bread every day I need to carry pound of flour per day. So for a two-month trip I would need 60 lb of flour. Plus the sugar salt and whatnot. I'm going to need a pack mule. Ironically the food I need for the pack mule for 2 months is all he can carry

[@josephanthony2865]

Is that a Filson flannel? Nice!

[@redleg56]

Discovered you through the Townsend's channel. Giving you a Lycoming County shoutout. I do a lot of camping and open fire cooking.

[@Incubansoul]

The cool thing about yeast is that it's everywhere in the air all the time. You can make a starter and just set it out somewhere in camp and the natural yeast will colonize it after a day or three. It requires a little more time and patience before you're able to use it but it's free, and once you have a starter you can keep it with you and use it over and over again.

[@mowilderness8505]

What's a starter

[@Xyz457]

Can you substitute regular milk for the powdered milk? If so how much? Thank you for your time and your videos!

Damn man!! You put gordon ramsay to shame with that cooking!!

[@mannihh5274]

Your bread looks absolutely fantastic! Fresh bread is really a boost at camp - so delicious, if you're exhausted, hungry and cold. Although, I think, your temperature is a little high, yeast is a living thing and temperatures over 110°F/45°C kill it. You get the best results at 90°F/32°C - you should be fine starting with body-warm water (100°F/38°C) and put your pot in a warm sweater, wool blanket or so to keep it warm. Setting it near the fire has the disadvantage that towards the fire it may get too hot, while the opposite side gets too cold - both ways the yeast doesn't feel comfortable. On a daily basis, a pot cozy would be a good idea.

[@rick-ps5ct]

my question is....recipe says 2 cups flour...video you say 2 pounds flour...i don't think a cup of flour weighs a pound...

[@tankcraft3994]

What about self-rising bread if you have that you don't need yeast

[@tomcurran1538]

I was thinking that making Middle Eastern/Indian non-leavened bread might be a good choice for camp. Makes it easier without the yeast. Not the same as Euro-Centric bread though. Great vid.

[@pepin8277]

Remove sugar from the ingrediënts list PLEASE...sam goes for powder milk! You don't need any of that... also instead of using try yeast try to get yourself a living starter, it makes the bread traste an awefull lot better!

[@kobs2222]

Yeast doesn't eat refined sugar. It's only the water in this case activating the yeast. And 120 is max heat. better off aiming lower. As low as 90 will work. But well done. Thank you for sharing

[@gregcrowe8885]

You awesome know how to do all the good old fashioned crafts. The bread 🍞 is beautiful. The bread more than fuel for the body. It cheers us up some how.

[@brianthesnail3815]

That is very very impressive on a camp fire. By the way, maybe a brioche recipe would also work really well although you need a few more ingredients.

[@arlenestanton9955]

Good for you trying to bake bread. So many people ( men) are afraid of bread, because of the yeast. They way I think of the temperature, which is what scares people, is the way warmed milk for a baby, feels on the skin. Hope that helps!

[@jimmyganglia5234]

The powdered milk made it too sweet, why would you even think about adding sugar? You need only water, salt, flour, yeast and/or baking powder.

[@MrHappy4870]

Uhhhh Why not make flatbread? Just water, flour and heat and you've got bread. Can't argue with a recipe thousands of years old.

[@XEinstein]

Next time though when you slice your bread slice it straight through the middle in two halfs and cut your first slice of bread from one of the straight edges of one of the halfs. If you then put both halfs back together again and put a string or rubber band around it you don't have any piece of cut bread exposed to the air. The only exposed bits will be crust. This way the bread will stay fresh longer.
