How to make Bread in Camp

How to make a simple bread at camp with an Alcohol stove All purpose flour will work using a bit of baking powder, but if I was packing flour while camping, I'd use self-rising flour.

The ingredients are few. A cup of flour with 2 pinches of salt, 2/3rds t-spoon of Baking powder, a t-spoon of melted butter, a packet or 2 of sugar, and water. You can use Self-rising flour instead of Baking powder.

Mix the ingredients with water until dough will hold it's shape.

This 'oven'is a tapered 2 wall container with the outside bottom cut away. The outside wall insulates the inside wall from the outside air, quite important. I put an Aluminum plate in the bottom, a half inch off the bottom to keep from burning the dough. Coat the dough with flour so it doesn't stick to your hand or the bottom and drop it in the 'Oven'.

Coating the walls of the container with butter, bacon fat, or cooking oil will make the bread come out easier.

The dough is nestled in the bottom ready for cooking.

I am creating an oven with the double wall cup and Al lid with the second insulated lid on top of that. That Al plate with the 1" hole limits the flame from that Alc stove.

That's the stove I'm using with a screw on lid that allows me to carry the stove with fuel inside. The lid also allows me to snuff the flame when I'm finished cooking.

This stove provides a hot flame for outright cooking.

....Or a simmer flame, with the governor plate, which I use cooking bread or cooking rice or even dry beans. I carry 3 of these simmer plates with different sized holes for differentent simmer rates.

30 minutes on that simmer flame produced a small round loaf of bread.
