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.
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.
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 TH-cam. You can find so much there.
@@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
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.
I've started to watching your channel just for improve my English. But now I'm watching it for pure pleasure. Almost all of yours films have landed on my favourite list. Just keep it going! Cheers from Poland :)
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
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. 😊
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.
@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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. I made frybread last night not as nice, good with the beans. We have to go all in on sustainable agriculture and preserving wilderness. I was cared for by awesome woman from PA she best cook she learned some Amish cooking. her sister sold mushrooms to PA Dutch's brand mushrooms a lot of cans of mushrooms 🍄 I like magic mushrooms also it's my Norse habit
+Coalcracker Bushcraft I've been enjoying all of your videos since I subscribed to your channel. You're clear and thorough. Your camera skills are great too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with like-minded people that enjoy being in the woods. Keep the videos coming and stay safe out in the wild, brother.
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.
I love watching these videos and some of the stuff you already know but this bread thing is what really interested me . Plus I love homemade bread 🥖 so yummy
Dan your channel is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites! Bread looks great! Thank you for your videos and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Messing around with bread/yeast stuff takes some getting used to but once you get the eye for it it's as simple as any other skill in your belt. Like was mentioned before with the sourdough also makes for an easy start.
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!
great video! love the channel. can use a shirt or cloth to wrap around the yeast cup to help insulate it and keep it more consistently warm as it blooms as well
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.

Best looking campfire made bread I've ever seen, I can almost smell and taste it, my mouth is watering!
I've bought a Dutch oven after seeing you cook in them. I'm looking forward to screwing stuff up as I learn LOL 😆😆
There are sites that teach how to use a Dutch oven. I love them! Cook slow, taste better😁👍✝️🇱🇷
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.
Screwing my bread up today 😁
Absolutely love your channel
The best outdoor bushcraft bread making that I've seen!
th-cam.com/video/4ksyivTxZzw/w-d-xo.html
That's a good video as well!
well yes it is but you must take into consideration the he has a full production crew with him...
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 :)
@Winston Smith it is true. Sourdough starter can be used for generations if kept alive.
@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.
Yeah but then it’s like a pet, you gotta feed it all the time. It might even start asking for walks.
@@levisloan198 Not really. When kept in the fridge you don't have to feed it for a couple of months.
You can keep it alive, but it won't be sourdough. Ever. Commercial yeast and wild yeasts are quite different.
That looked absolutely delicious! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Awesome video !!! Thanks so much all of the work and prepping that you do ! Much appreciated :)

Nice job with making the bread, Dan. Something special about cooking things outdoors, especially in cast iron cookware!
Its so fun to See Your reaction when you taste iT for The first time....makes me smile everytime

What's a starter
I can’t wait to try this recipe. Looks absolutely delicious 😋
There's nothing like fresh baked bread at camp. Thanks for the video and encouragement to try baking in the field.
Awesome thank you so much!

Dan your channel is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites! Bread looks great! Thank you for your videos and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Nice looking bread, thanks for the info
Look really good.
Respect....
you can use a regular digital thermometer that you use to take your temp. I carry one in my first add kit.
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.
Yum,,, me too......
Tnx
that was awesome!
Very nice!
Awesome ! I need to go out side!
Nice looking loaf of bread, especially to have been made on a campfire.
Awesome 👍
Bread looking yummy 😋
Damper bread! Humming "Walzting Matilda" as you make this!
Great video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Messing around with bread/yeast stuff takes some getting used to but once you get the eye for it it's as simple as any other skill in your belt. Like was mentioned before with the sourdough also makes for an easy start.
If you stay in the woods long enough you could make beer with it, if you could find a sugar source. 🤓🍺
That bread, made over open fire in camp, must be awesomely delicious!
You've changed my life.
Dan thanks always wanted to make Bread in camp .know how now .
Nice bread! I can almost smell it. I love fresh bread cooked that way. To bad I'm off the breads. It's probably what I miss most.
Me too, and I haven't found a GF low carb alternative that I like yet. 😪🍻
That's a good skill
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!

Awesome..
Self rising flour is my go to. Make it thinner for muffins 😋
Very nice 😋
This channel needs more cooking content.
Thanks Dan, now I have to go make bread 🥖 👍👍
Discovered you through the Townsend's channel. Giving you a Lycoming County shoutout. I do a lot of camping and open fire cooking.
