    The Bannock Recipe is:
    3 cups of All-purpose flour
    1 Teaspoon Salt
    2 Tablespoons baking powder
    1 Packet of Butter Buds (Dried Butter Flakes)
    1and 1/4 cups of water
    Mix all dry ingredients together.
    Divide into 3 equal parts and
    Put each 3rd into a Ziploc bag.
    Each Ziploc will then need about
    4 oz. of water each for the dough.
    Knead in bag until dough is ready
    Take out and bake until golden brown
    Enjoy!

    Pops forgot the recipe.
    1 cup flour
    2 tbs powder milk
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/4 tsp salt
    2 Tbs sugar
    1 Tbs bacon grease ,Butter or olive oil ( you could substitute probably butter buds that you have in your recipe)
    Optional I sometimes add raisins, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts or pecans I don't measure but I estimate maybe maybe about 1/8 cup of fruit and 1/16 cup of nuts.

    This looks terrific. I will make one or more. I like that the campfire is the source of reflective heat for cooking. Reflective cooking in the dark or low sunlight doesn't worry me. Reflective cooking using the sun when it's very intense can be really dangerous. About ten years ago I bought two "solar cookers" that shipped directly from an overseas producer. They were dish shaped, on a stand with a pedestal in the middle of the dish which held the cookpot. It took me hours to assemble each one. Where I live, the UV index in summer is 14-15. The cooker was so bright I had to wear sunglasses to cook. That should have warned me. Before long I caught my clothes on fire just standing next to it. I "closed up shop" securing its protective cover (I thought). A few days later the wind lifted the edge of its cover, exposing only a bit of the metal to the sun. The cover caught fire and this spread. Dogs warned me. I was barely able to put out the fire with my garden hose. That cooker was so badly charred that we scrapped it. The other resides in a shed and someday may see the light of day again when the sun is very very dim.

    Nice oven James. That bread turned out great. I purchased a reflector oven years ago. One of my favourite things to make is a large oatmeal muffin. I found that if you buy a muffin mix that is low fat, it’s a just add water. For your oven a small foil pan with some parchment paper “Might” work good. Only one way to find out 😂. Another item I want to make in the reflector oven is the coffee cup cakes that you make in the microwave. I’ve tried these in a small solar oven and they work good.

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  4 года назад

      Thank you! I was wondering if I should put the bread on a small pan of some kind but I thought it might keep the heat from getting to the bottom of the bread efficiently. Those other ideas sound great! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

      You might be able to use a little parchment paper directly on the rack just to support the bread. I made a pizza once and I used a small stainless steel plate as a pizza pan. This did not work, the top was perfect and the bottom didn’t cook.
