We went to a farm in the FS a year or two ago, and someone brought a cast iron mold for bread and made it on a fire. I think he bought a readymix kit thing with all the ingredients in single-serving sizes. Any idea where I could get one of those?

Also, any bread recipes for camping would be appreciated.
 
No, the dude I'm camping with has the pot, looking for those bread kits. Single serving.
 
You can make beer bread - get one of those small (500g) packets of self raising flour, some seasonings (some people use half a packet of brown onion soup) you could just use your favourite herbs and spices, and a can (330ml) of beer. Mix it all together, plonk it in your bread pan, and either cook in the oven or on the fire until its nice and brown (45min).

Or if you want to spend a lot of money on self raising flour with spices - http://www.yuppiechef.com/barretts-...etts-Ridge-Beer-Bread-Kit---Chilli-and-Garlic

Yeh, beer bread is the one.
You make a pootjie and do the pot bread on top of the cooking food.
Like a bread lid :D
 
Bread is dead easy all you need is flour and a raising agent and then add whatever you feel like.

For camping I like making a bread dough with flour, yeast, tablespoon or so of oil, beer, sugar and salt. Then once its risen properly mix in blocks of cheese and bacon bits put it in the pot let it rise again and then put it on the fire.
 
How you make the dough is super important. My sister and her maid had a contest. The maid won. No idea what the difference was. They used the same ingredients in the same kitchen.

+1. Smear some real butter over the top 5 to 10 min from the end to get that nice brown on the top. Eat it while it's warm and again, don't be shy with the butter.

Let me be more specific

Ingredients:
- Self Raising Flour
- 500ml Buttermilk (clover or the umkomaas or whatever brand)
- small packet of yeast
- Almost a whole can of whole pit mielies (throw the water out first)
- Grated Cheese
- Can of beer
- Some onions as well

Mix the whole lot together. Put in pot. Drink beer while you wait for bread. Depends on heat of fire how long it will take (do the knife test and see if anything sticks to it)

/profit
 
Also, if you can take one of those ready made dough balls you buy at the shops with, you can do this:

- brown sugar
- cream
- ball of dough split into small little piece of dough about the size of golf balls

Gooi some sugar at the bottom of the black bot. Just just just cover it with a little bit of cream. Pack the balls all next to each other. Pour the rest of the cream over. Drink beer while you wait for bread. Depends on heat of fire how long it will take (do the knife test and see if anything stick to it)

Yip those work quite well, just buy the dough ready made.
 
I've made this one couple of times.

1x 500g Self Raising Flour
1x Can Sweet Corn (creamy one)
1x Can Condensed Milk

Mix together and bake
 
This is the simplest/quickest bread you will make.
500g Self raising flour
350ml Buttermilk
1 packet brown onion soup (optional)

Preheat oven to 180C or a pot whatever for camping.
Mix flour & brown onion soup together in bowl, make hollow in flour and add buttermilk. Get your hands/fingers in there and mix properly, this is a sticky business. Once mixed sprinkle some flour on a work surface and plonk dough down, sprinkle with flour so it does not stick.
Add to bread tin and pop in oven for 45-60min, check dough with a spike or something to see if it is ready, if you pull the spike out and nothing sticks to it it's ready but I just let it go for an hour. No need to let the dough rise or needing of it.

This is a heavy/moist bread but starts drying after the first day which is when you slice it thinly and toast it till nice and crisp. Spread lurpac or butter and whatever else you enjoy! Usually make it for braais & potjies as well. We have also gone totally whacky on this and added things like cheese, coctail tomatoes, bacon etc
