Making Bread (Bannock)

[Oldarborman]

Another easy bread type food is Roti all you need is plain flour salt and water, once kneaded for a good five mins then let it rest for 15mins roll small balls into chapati size rounds and this can be cooked very quickly over an open flame, it puffs up into lovely soft pitta type bread

! cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, big pinch salt, just enough water to make the dough (warm is better i recon)

They just dont puff up like ive seen in vids, im wondering if you should let it rest a bit before cooking to let the baking powder work

The easiest method I have come across and tried as its so versitile is:

2 Cups Flour (Any flour will do)
1 Cup Dried Milk
1 Teaspoon of Bicarb-Soda
and Water to form a paste.

Mix ingredients together to form a thick paste (very sticky).

You can cook directly in fire ashes - will burn on outside but like a scone in middle
Wrap Around a stick/knife and bake near to an open fire 10cm away.
Fry it with a little oil/butter if available over a low heat turning occasionally.

You can do without the Bicarb if you don't have any.. it's just alot denser, also if you have fresh milk you can do without the water - but it's actually nicer with the dried milk.

Add a few herbs for a change or cinnamon and dried currants for dessert.

just thinking of the most simple vac pac you could have in your pac, can you keep flour and baking powder together for long??

I don't see why not neither ingredient will react until moisture is added.. I reckon the same shelf life as they would have alone.. I might test that out though..

I'm absolutely raging my local indian charges £2.00 for a roti !!!!!!!!

If you are going to be using this as a survival food then make sure you are dehydrating onion chutney to go with it!

[Oldarborman]

Wow £2.00 that's ridiculous, if you equate what it cost to make from a bag of flour it must only cost ............10p

A cup of coffee can cost more then a jar of coffee.

You're paying through the nose for somebody else to make it for you

That's one of the reasons I make practically everything myself, it's very true forgecorvus it's extortion with profits at 200 percent plus
