How to Make Simple Survival Bread with 4 Ingredients Long Term Survival Skills

hey folks backwoods gourmet here ready to show you another survival recipe you can do on an open fire we're probably going to do it on some all natural charcoal here today threatening rain summertime Florida rains every day so it's real simple and a very few steps so we'll get out kit as I told you this is about the most basic recipe committing this is going to be for some survival bread and you only need a few things you need a bowl something to mix in you need to a couple teaspoons of salt you need some warm water as amused or the mother of the bread that you took before we'll explain that later you're also going to need some cast iron cookware since we're going to cook over coals I like this big deep just big deep pan right here gives a lot of room for it to rise but if you don't have that the regular old 10-inch large skillets good we're probably going to try to do this one in Dutch of it alright if these only work if you're doing them in the conventional oven okay because you need heat from the top so if you want to do it at home because this is really really great to do at home also but camp and you're going to need a Dutch oven number 10 or number 12 all right just a few ingredients there's three cups of here all-purpose flour and bread flour whatever you got even if you're some of my prepper friends out there subscribers you grind your own flour then whatever you have is going to work fine to that we're going to add about a teaspoon of salt that's it we're going to take our our dry yeast we're just going to add that straight to the flour and here we have this just warm tap water you didn't have warm tap water or obviously you could just heat up a little bit of water the optimal temperature is 105 degrees so if you feel warm to touch if you take it straight out of tap it's a 120 you putting this cup it will cool to 105 almost immediately so this is just warm tap water and we're just going to slowly add warm tap water into the flour and just try to get that incorporated and we'll keep adding it till we have a medium consistency dough no rocket science here okay we just brought that together with just enough water to bring the flour up and water yeast mixture together to where it's reasonably smooth or not like falling apart into different segments it is consistent so that's what you want at this step so we're going to do now we're going to leave it right in that bowl no fuss no muss we're going to put a dish towel over it and we're going to set that choker side if it's cooling you where you live you need to try to keep it in a warm place nearer if you're camping near the fire optimal temperatures about 90 to 100 degrees and humidity level great if you're in a desert area you might want to put a little a little just damp in the towel on top to keep the humidity level up inside the bowl so it doesn't dry on the crust outside of it here Florida summer time it's already 90% humidity so all we're going to do is cover with towel and this is a Saturday afternoon we're going to let that guy do its thing let those magic yeasts do their thing until tomorrow so we'll see you back Ochs date next day on the bread gear been sitting over there all night most of the day today we couldn't get back to it it's a nice Airy gooey kind of risen up quite a bit it's a glutens in this the flour I've got nice and stringy this is going to give us a good texture for bread just going to scrape that out onto a floured piece of waxed paper and we'll start working it a little bit I just try to like roll it over on itself starts ticking they're going to have to get in there and you don't have all your paper covered but it's now very soft pliable and since we work a little flour into it it's going to get really stretchy like pizza dough I'm just going to start working it back to the middle keep your hands floured it's very stretchy and soft paper helps contain the mess but definitely not necessary if you don't have it so now that I've got it kind of in a ball and starting to take some shape I'll keep my hands floured here and I'm just turning and tucking it back around itself and keep dusting it just enough to keep it from sticking to you rolling it what I'm doing is I'm stretching it stretching the stretching out the gluteus we're going to dust that off a little bit anywhere I'll quit sticking to us give a little more flour here it's grabbing up new flour right now and that will feed these yeast and let it continue with its rising process so anyway we got it into a pretty nice ball there and that's what we're going to be next when I move over our Dutch oven I did for each this with lard I like the grease of the large more of a natural product it has a higher burning rate and butter looking for kind of a smooth surface on this guy right here and we're going to put it right in the middle and I'll show you what we do next all right well we're going to do next is we're just going to take a very sharp knife and we're going to cut through the top of the dough razor blade works really good for this to cut through the top of that dough you might put some flour on the knife this one's particularly sticky that'll give it a place to expand so when he's now is more time till it's at least doubled this volume alright but it's been about an hour we just had the dutch ovens and i here at the bread in a son see it's getting pretty big it's very close to doubled so good now it's time to go ahead and get your fire ready maybe another 15 minutes so fire ready and we'll bake her off all right here we've got our backyard set up you know this is a just in lieu of camp fire we've got by volume we're trying to go 375 about the same as nine coals there these are natural coals the rain did hold off for us so we're able to get those going so we're going to go ahead and get that pot on and we're going to take the rest of our chimney of homemade errs you want more she's on the top of this obviously then on the bottom well you know hold this one down here it got away just kind of scoot those to the outside and we'll keep rotating that lid and we'll get that set up now we've got most of our bottom coals around the bottom edge and the top coals around the top edge so let's come out here every five or ten minutes and rotate that to actually about every five minutes I'm looking at about a 15 to 20 minute bake time for the spread so we'll just keep rotating that lid okay we we turn the lid one time there this is going to be short cooking time we're going to take a peek in there and look at it oh that's pretty much perfect golden brown bread so we're going to go ahead and take that guy off of the fire alright we took them off the first thing we do is pop them out of that pot the very hot pot and a way I like to check it breath um pit you know the kind of sounds Hollow it means it's probably going to be pretty good so we'll serve this guy up with some chicken and rice that we just made and we'll show you how it looks once we slice it I guarantee you it tastes awesome four four and now we're going to go ahead and cut into this guy for you guys bread knife works real good here gonna get us a nice little wedge of them cut it out you see the you know the bottoms just a little dark but not too bad gets nice and crispy on the bottom and this you know it's a hearty bread it's meant to be that way go ahead and take a softened butter you're looking up to have that it's a real butter to you it by the way not margarine give it a good slather of that and put that right there with our chicken and rice homemade and believe me you try this you're gonna love it very warm day here in Florida the backwoods hope you guys enjoyed this video try this recipe yourself it does take a while to perfect it I've been myself working on it for a couple of months now we've made it probably a dozen times and like everything else just takes a little practice but it is something that's very simple
