So I recently found out that you can bring the dry ingredients to make bread out on your camping trip and make bread with nothing but a campfire! I literally eyeballed bread flour, brown sugar, salt, and yeast into a ziploc bag, added water, mixed a bit, and let it rise for 2 hours. Then I flattened out the dough and threw it directly on some hot coals.

It turned out incredible. It's slightly sweet, very spongey, and it had a great crisp on the outside when I initially cooked it. Better than any store bought bread I have ever eaten.

I should've taken pictures of the cooking process, but I try to keep my phone put away when I'm camping. This stuff was just so good that I had to pack a couple pieces to bring home!

    That’s called damper in Australia.

    I read “incredible” as “uneatable”.

    Campfire bread isn’t always pretty but it’s very often tasty and hits the spot.
