This bread recipe could be the difference between starving and eating in the times ahead.

Hard tack is a good thing to have

Question for all you bakers:


How long does yeast last? Is the Expir. date accurate? If not, how long can I keep/use past? I have often wondered.

Thanks for all the great bread ideas.

How about I slit your throat, field dress you, then sell you to the starving masses as pork? The only thing worse than a gay boy is a gay boy who thinks he's tough!

Depends on the type of yeast you are storing. Here's a starting link

OHhhhh! Tough guy Huh???


Bet I can flip you and dick you before you can throw me and blow me!


LoL!



P.S. Get off this thread dickwad unless you have something constructive to add.

yes it is but its like pulling teeth to get a cook to bake it people cant believe i actually enjoy eating it.

and the neighbor forbid her kids from eating it because she was worried about their teeth lol

Oh cool- bannock bread! I love this stuff!

I go to Montreal all the time, and there's a restaurant in the Old City that serves this. The bannock they serve has cranberries and nuts in it, and it's really good.

Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks.....that will be a fun and informative site!

You are very welcome.

Happy Baking!

Not only are you gay but unintelligent to boot! My constructive knowledge says "don't bake bread when the world is starving". I think that's more important than your fantasies being spelled out for all the world to see. I will see you the day after. Be expecting me while you're wearing your apron baking bread.

Look Bud.....

I already said that you have a good and valid point.

I am not gay in the least bit so get that out of your mind.

This thread is about baking bread, not survival. Don't you like bread??? The staff of life???

In the boonies, I will be nibbeling on crackers or whatever just like you.

Cheers!

Stop peeking up my Apron! LoL!

Your comments state otherwise! The friends I have that are male don't talk about flippin' and dickin'! Do you see how I could have taken you for being queer?
The day after...

You're right.

Guess you tripped my trigger when you said you were going to smell my bread and come take it. Good luck with that.


I also understand and totally agree that you DO NOT bake bread when there are starving people (or animals) around.

Oh gee no fride or stove, oh well guess we'll just starve lol. You can do better than that dude.

Wow! For a simple thread on baking bread, there seems to be a few that are probably using a microwave too often. Brain cells are burning.

Thanks to all for the positive input and keeping it real.

BTW...great recipes and links. Makes me want to start my site up again. Took it down when I sold my last bakery but ready to open again in a month or so.

Can't wait! Ain't nothing better than Cinna Buns in da morning! My specialty is the teabiscuit base...no yeast!

A question about bread machines because there might be someone checking this thread who has an answer. I have wanted to get one but am concerned about the nonstick coating on the pans. Has anyone found a workaround for this, a model that doesn't have the coating or a pan that they modified to fit? And any dissers are talking to one of the hands typing this.

For the week-end Bakers!

Same here.

I have ditched ALL my cookware with non-stick coatings, but I can't find a rice cooker that doesn't have it.

I have also thought about getting a bread maker, but they all have non-stick coatings as well.

I understand your concern, and share it. I want no part of the toxic brew that coats cookware anymore...

I still prefer to use cast pans but I have seen a few sites offering a new type of paper pan. These are a one-off as I understand. Haven't done much research but if someone does, please report back.

Don't forget to try bakersjournal.com for some great ideas from pros. Great product reviews as well.

Thanks!

Here is a link to a good arttical that may help you decide about the teflon coated pans. Compared to all the other poisons in store bought breads it just may be the better option.

You can make cassave!

.. an easy one I like ..
20 ounces of flour (all purpose)
12 ounce of water
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons instant yeast

Should take quite a bit of work to mix by hand but it's a simple recipe..

let it rise for 2 to 4 hours
take it out punch and fold a bunch then put it in your bread pan and cook..
I am starting to build a dutch oven next to our fireplace outside as soon as the snow thaws ..

Thanks for the recipe ..

another good one .. is flour, salt, water and oil .. to make tortillas .. I thinkm it's three cups of flour to a 1/3 cup of oil and 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt..

make into balls flatten and fry or bake or w/e you got..

dumplings are easy but gross..

and you can always (for real survival situation) whip up some flour and water to a cooking consistency .. add a lil butter if you have it .. and make in balls and if you have a fire going just toss the balls into the fire.. you can add just about anything to this .. like I said a lil fat will go a long way .. a lil dash of salt and baking soda too.. but you can add any kind of fruit, vegetable, or meat.. w/e you want to it.. :D

Thanks again..

I just started using all cast iron pans .. good question about the rice maker, I have a family of six and we eat rice about four or more times a week .. we try not to use the non stick pans and things .. but that is one thing I can't get around.. I wonder if the older stoneware crockpots would cook the rice at a slower rate? .. or just stick with the stove?...

just woke from a dream, the whole world was starving. i figured it was the past......people were gathering around fighting over moldy bread. a man stood up, "the orange water, the bronchitis water, that's where the money is".....he left the room, and a voice said "and they never saw him again".

i don't think this was the past.

Never sleep again!

I actually have an old mechanical coffee grinder. I just use it for decoration, but hey, make have to break it out one day if SHTF. Thanks for the tip.

I haven't finished reading this thread yet but I had to add this before I forget. Mother Earth News had an article on juniper berries.

Thanks for the links!

Sour dough starters are really pretty simple to make. Takes a few minuits a day for about a week.

Here is a video that uses pineapple juice instead of the juniper berries.

Really a good project if you have kids. Enjoy!

Glad to see all these tips on sourdough. It's an amazing thing that used to be the difference between life and death for explorers, trappers etc. They would always carry a little starter under their clothes to be kept active and ready for the evening meal. That, with a little jerky (most times it was pemmican tho) and willow bark tea would fill the belly.

Thanks for all the great info folks!

Pemmican:
