Frypan Bread
One cup flour
One teaspoon double action baking powder
one fourth of a teaspoon salt
one Tablespoon sugar
The sugar makes a lot of difference, browns nicely and tastes a lot
better. Mix all the dry ingredients together very well in a bowl. Then
add cold water a little at a time and mix until you get a dough ball
forming. Do this quickly. Once you get the dough ball, dump it out onto
a floured surface.
Pat and form this into a cake about an inch thick or less. It cooks
a bit faster if it is thinner. But don't over handle the dough and dust
it with flour.
Warm a pan with oil or whatever on the stove over low to medium
heat, a cast iron leaves a nice crust. But a teflon pan works as well.
Put the dough in and give the pan a few shakes to make sure it doesn't
stick.
As soon as a solid crust forms on the bottom, you have to turn it.
This can be done one of two ways. One is to slid it out onto a plate
then flip it and and slide it back into the pan. The other is the flip.
It takes practice, but it can be done.
To see if it is done, when you have done these enough, you can tap
and hear a hollow sound. Until then stick in a toothpick. If dough
stick, it needs more cooking. Usually about fifteen minutes all
together. If thicker, longer, thinner shorter.
To serve, break it up into pieces, and with margarine , butter or
jam. My fave is to split a chunk and put some cheddar inside while it
is still hot and let it melt. Cold it isn't that good, at least to my
taste. It can be reheated in a microwave. Anyway, enjoy.
Has anyone here used a Outback Oven? It's basically an oven that literally sits on top of a campstove and I highly recommend it. I have used mine to bake cakes, pizza and bread. Cakes can be cheated by using ready to go muffin mix. The kinds I buy clal for the addition of an egg.
My Outback oven is 10 inches across so the half package os muffin mix works beautifully and increase cooking time to about 30 minutes. Same goes with bread if you use those instant pizza crust mixes. Or a simple version of focachia. Two bags of teh crust mix, water, a little basil , oregano and parmisan chese powder mixed in.LKet rise in my high tech rising oven. (Cab of my truck left out in the sun.
) Drizzle with olive oil and bake for about the 30 minuite mark.
Both this and the mufin cake goes really fast on the camping trips I have made it on. Anyway, enjoy.
