While I keep regular books, my daughter has multiple old tablets that contain an unbelievable amount of books. She buys them 2nd hand, wipes them, connects up to our network, downloads books, and then disables the wifi. She has a core set of about 20 books that she puts on each tablet, and then loads either pleasure, history, how to, whatever. All in protective cases and capable of being charged via solar. I think shes got 7 or 8 now.

Pam, you may or may not ever need to use any of your prepping BUT because you have been preparing (assuming most of your life) you have been able to help, many many others learn the skill. For than we all thank you!
We've been going over our plans. We are planning on 3 levels: High Tech, Low Tech, No Tech. Example: High Tech is having full kitchen working so can make bread in the oven and with electric grinder. Low Tech is making bread with hand grinder and using camp stove/oven with propane. No Tech is hand grinder and using cast iron Dutch oven over camp fire. When I started looking at our preparedness this way, it really exposed lots of gaps we thought we had covered. I hope that helps someone. Thank you for all the work you are doing to help!💖
You’re amazing!! Your knowledge is priceless. When I start panicking about what’s happening in this world, your videos calm me down :) thank you so much for everything you do!
@@RoseRedHomestead You could rotate the bread in the propane oven. If you have propane, wouldn't you have a propane-powered stove with an oven in it? Also, I wonder if you used oil instead of water if the bread baked in solar oven might brown better?
To help some of you with costs, you can make your own solar oven. Use a box bigger than your pans. Line the inside of the box with aluminum foil . Keep the sides and bottom closed, but open up the top flaps wide enough to reflect the sunlight into the oven. Position it for best sunlight and adjust as needed. Use a piece of glass or plastic wrap to cover the oven’s top. Brace the box so it doesn’t blow around. For cold or windy weather, wrap your oven with a blanket and put it into a wider box for added insulation. Make sure to heat your oven up first before you start to bake. You can find some DIY videos on Utube on how to do this.
@Jenifer - I have tried this with a car sun shade but couldn't get it to heat up enough. I'm motivated to try again! Were you successful at baking in yours?
@@ReformedFamilyWorship Yes, I do know; It isn't. That silly claim has been disproven time and time again. If you're not comfortable with it, don't do it. There, problem solved.
Another timely video! We had a power outage at our summer cottage. We also had a huge party planned for that weekend, so... we did all of our cooking in the fireplace and on the charcoal grill. I made bread and butter tarts. The bread was cooked in a dutch oven in the fireplace. I turned the oven every 10 minutes or so. There was rather large area that was over cooked, but the bread was fantastic. The butter tarts were made using indirect heat in the charcoal grill. I wrapped a muffin pan in 2 layers of foil to keep out the smokey smell. They took forever, but they were great as well. I've been researching temporary solar systems, because we don't have any water pressure when the electric power goes out. Until I was 30-something, we were "off the grid." We had propane stove, fridge and hot water heater, a hand-start water pump (so we were always checking the water pressure), and oil lamps. We didn't get indoor plumbing until I was 16. The sink in the kitchen had a hand-crank water pump. And until I was 11, the fridge was cooled by 40 pound blocks of ice cut durning the winter and stored in the ice house between layers of sawdust. We felt so modern when we got the propane fridge! We only got electricity because my Dad's glaucoma got bad and he had problems with the oil lamps at night.
This granny of 6 loves your videos and is very excited about the book. Most days I feel like I'm prepping for my entire family, they all think I'm crazy, so it can be a bit lonely and scary. Thanks for your upbeat and skill filled advice! !
Age give away... I grew up hearing "if the bomb hits" as well. I am from a survivalist/prepper family, so, we are prepared for, 🤔, pretty much every case scenario. But... if you 2 write a book, I will buy it. I will a few, and, gift them, to somebody that needs it. I support a book, like that, so much, that I would buy it just to support your writing it. You are such a fantastic teacher. It's a Wonderful idea. So, I'll take 3 when you have them ready. 😁👍🏻
Yeah. I used to laugh at them in high school: hide under your desk. I told people they wouldn't have to worry about fall-out because our school was across a field from a SAC base (Strategic Air Command Air Force base). They would be a target so we wouldn't be around to worry about it. Hide under your desk. Even some high school students aren't that gullible.
Loved It!! I have a Sun Oven as well as a Solar Pot. I haven't used them for a couple of years but I was just talking about getting it out the other night with my neighbor. He has one also. My bread turned out much like yours did. It was a little pale but delicious! You might not be aware of this but your Sun Oven can blow over if a breeze gets it just right. My neighbor built me a frame to go around mine out of 2 X 4's. They surround the oven on three sides and the oven slides in it. Then on the 3 sides of the wood is a metal bracket that acts as a foot and keeps it balanced. A Solar Pot is fun as well. I think I baked a round loaf of bread in that as well. Keep up the good work. You are my conscience reminding me of things I need to do again and I appreciate it!
Ooh I didn't know about the solar pot! Better look that up. I have the sun oven and I love it, especially in the oppressive Oklahoma summer heat when turning the oven on is out of the question. That's such a good idea about the frame. Using rocks and bricks can be a pain. Thanks for the idea!
@@sweett4rt Yes, I definitely agree with that! It's far safer to use fire rated bricks, and it would be very wise to go that little extra step while we have the ability to prepare properly. But in a disaster situation, do what you gotta do. Oh, this just reminded me - I remember seeing a video on how to do a concealed, nearly smokeless fire by basically digging a rocket stove shape into the ground. Might come in handy one day.
Love your videos! What a blessing you are for such a time as this. North America is about to go into times of testing of biblical proportions and we all need to learn what your wisdom can teach us. It’s not if ,,,,,,it’s when we will be dealing with no power. Blessings to you. Hope you will ship to 🇨🇦👍🏻
I want your book and your sisters book as well. I love all your videos. Thank You for sharing your knowledge about cooking, preparing and all your tricks.
This is exciting news! I have ernestly started my storage because of that video, not just extras here and there. I have started a calendar of purchase, where I have written all the non-food/paper/soap items I regularly purchase and spread them out over the year, and when I need to repurchase the things. When my FIL said to get an extra package of tp, because of stabilty, my husband finally understood my obsession with food storage, and not just home-processed tomatoes and peppers.
I am so thankful for this video. My next major purchase is going to be a sun oven. So glad to know how to use it for bread baking not just cooking meats. Thank you so much for your excellent videos on being prepared and self sufficient.
Pam, this was great! My husband is the bread maker and will enjoy watching this episode. We are planning on getting a solar oven and take advantage of our Arizona sun. Thanks to you we are on our way to becoming Preppers! Mandy from Tucson🌵
You are such a wonderful, beautiful lady. Thank you so much for all you do. You look so much like my mom in ways. She was a wonderful cook too. God bless you dear lady.
I’ve baked bread by hand for years ,though it’s time consuming it’s actually easy. Being a single person I rarely eat bread now. I lived for several years in an area here the electric was always going down, one winter it was down 10 days, I cooked on the BBQ, ran a generator for the fridge you have to have milk and eggs even butter.
@@DogsRGr8 Yes, but if things are very bad for a long time, you can grind local ingredients and bake bread from them. Acorns (processed correctly), other nuts, many plants that produce seed including lambs quarters, the beans off of Mesquite trees (if you're far enough south to have Mesquite), etc.
Appreciate you! This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. I’m probably about your age . My mother was born in 1925 and that’s her same bread recipe she passed to me. She always made homemade breads cinnamon rolls etc. The smell of baking bread brings back so many priceless cherished memories ❤️🙏🏻Good Bless you & May God Save & Bless the USA❤️🇺🇸✝️
Excellent demonstration using these ovens. I have been eyeing the Camp Chef oven for a while now so it was nice to see an actual demonstration. I look forward to your sister collaboration book. I taught myself how to make bread as a young wife/mother. It is definitely a useful skill.
I just got a Coleman camp oven to try to make off grid bread. I finally got to where I love making bread, now it's time to take it to the next level! I enjoy your videos because you explain everything in detail. I like to know why I'm doing something while I'm doing it. Good video~
Excellent demonstration and guidance. Thank you! When you cut through that 2nd crunchy loaf all I could think about was having a nice warm piece with a big chunk of butter on top. Oh, yeah. Looks delicious!
Hello Ms.Rose, I thank you for all your ideas, videos, and sharing. I have been cooking like a prepped for good many years and baking bread for all 36 years we have been in the USA, came here as immigrants from them Czechoslovakia. I baked all our bread mainly because it was better and cheaper then buying, and with seven children it gradually meant two loaves a day! I had to laugh when you said the had to be soft as a marshmallow. Guess what, mine has to be as soft as a pillow. I am thankful to discover your blog and I have watched any episodes. All my children are gone on their own now but I keep on gardening, canning and baking, and sharing all of it. I am your kindred spirit in PA.
My grandmother was also from the Czech Republic near Brno. She baked the most wonderful bread and was a professional Baker. I am also from Pennsylvania.
I’m practicing my apocalyptic cooking now, because we cook for some people now who are old, sick, and poor. I love taking hot tastier foods to people. My hubby is the delivery guy, people love him lol.
A big oval crock pot is your friend. I put a whole chicken or roast in the center. Surround it by veggies and season. Personally, I love Italian seasoning in everything, so for the first round that is what I use. Cover the veggies and roast (but not the whole chicken) and cook on low overnight or high until tender. I slice and eat the chicken or roast with those veggies. Then I push the carcass down or leave the rest of the roast and fill the crock pot up again with more veggies to make soup. Add water as needed. Typically, I do white or red potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onion, garlic the first round. Then, when I make soup I'll use cubes of butternut squash or sweet potatoes instead. Or add curry powder to make curried soup. If there is meat or chicken left, I might then cook lentils and rice in with it. Or use lentils and rice instead of veggies for the soup. By doing this, I cook once and make many different-tasting meals. Great for individuals or small families or to share with your friends.
I really like the idea of using grocery sacks to cover the bread. I have been saving sacks for a few years and I catch so much flack over it. Those sacks are a great resource but you have to keep them!
So do I, I have three bags of grocery bags. I have a medical problem that requires throwing away trash. So saving the grocery bags pays off when I'm in public. As long as there are no holes in them I save them all. It they're wet, I let them dry off, then roll them around my hand and put the end through the hole.
When I was young I learned to make bread, of course by hand. Our neighbors up the road had a Bosch bread mixer and I vowed that I would have a Bosch bread mixer one day (I really don't like the feel of mixing anything with my hands). Several years later I got married, we had a baby and about a year and a half after she was born we all went to the fair and guess what they were selling. Yep, I bought me a Bosch bread mixer. That was 36 years ago and I am still using it. I did have to replace the tired, over worked mixing bowl a few years ago but other than that the machine is still going strong. I can't tell you how much I love that old thing.
Hi Pam, Great job with the demo of each cooking method. I have the same sun oven as you. I have never used it, but was very concerned about the bread not browning, after I heard many people talk about their results. I am so glad the bread tested 200 degrees when it finished cooking. That other oven is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, and it is multi-functional to boot! I have to get one of those. I was thinking that maybe you could have put the bread from the sun oven, into the Weber oven to brown up a bit, since the one loaf had already baked. That way both loaves would be brown. Maybe remove the sun oven bread at 190 degrees and place it into the Weber oven. Just a thought. However, this is the way to go and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for showing both ovens. You are just the best. I know the book isn’t finished, but I absolutely LOVE the theme of the book and feel it is sorely-needed. Sign me up as I’m ready to get one now! My husband and I didn’t have a clue as to how much wheat to buy. It was our first and continued item we bought, and…continued to buy….consequently, let’s just say there’s a lot! We didn’t know what we were doing, but we knew we had to have wheat. We got off wheat and went to oats, then rice, but by then we knew a bit more than we did with the wheat, so we didn’t over purchase. I’m a little wiser than then, but we still have all that wheat, so we will be using your recipe to make lots of bread. I made an Ezekiel bread that was more like a batter bread, but very tasty. It was not easy to gather the ingredients and grind them, and it took several hours. That just isn’t an everyday bread. By the way, the caterpillar you made on the video today was terrific. It looked exactly like a caterpillar, from this end. Great job on everything, and thank you. Tell your sister hi!
That’s so exciting! I can’t wait to see this book of yours! I also can’t wait to add it to my shelves! I always learn new things when I watch you. Thank you for helping me be a better steward from my family!
Oh my goodness…you are a masterful instructor…I thoroughly enjoy your videos and learning the nuances as well as the basics of bread making. Thank you so very much….
Great video. I haven't made bread in years. Gonna start again. Thanks for reminding me how satisfying a fresh loaf really is... Comfort will be a needed feeling.
Looks sooooo delish!! The paler bread looks just fine to me! All ya need is a slather of butter & you`re good to go! I need to check into the solar ovens..I have a slight phobia with propane :( Great video as always!
My goodness Pam, and Jim, is there anything you two cannot do...Don't answer that I was being cheeky 😊. I saw this video available as bed time arrived and rarely break it. You are worth being sleepy at work. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING you two do. Thank you ever so much!!!!
I have been dabbling in baking bread. We have a bread maker, but as you said, "if the grid goes down". So Ive been looking for a way to do it, just in case we do lose power. Thank you so much! 🍞
Awesome! I have the same Sun Oven and really like the propane oven your shared. I'm not sure if others are aware of the speed at which things are changing in this country thus making this video extremely important. Thank you so much for sharing this series of videos.
Excited for the book! I agree that God has blessed these women and I am so thankful they are doing His work by sharing this knowledge with us. Plus she's so fun to watch!!!! Love her!!
Loved seeing the use of the Sun Oven. I have one for emergencies that I have never taken out of the box. You have reminded me that I should work with it a bit! I do not think the paleness would bother me a bit since I was still eating well! However, I wondered if ,when spraying that water on it , if you made it sugar water, maybe the sugars would caramelize and brown it a bit more. It was an eye opener to hear how much of each item was needed to bake bread every week. I hope people are paying attention to the numbers!
Same the color doesn't bother me. I bake all of our bread in a Pullman loaf pan, so our normal bread doesn't have that dark brown color. Bread is bread I love pretty much all of it!
@@baillysmom- I have a sun oven and have cooked lots in it. But for some reason, bread turns out steamed, not baked. I have been practicing using a wood fired oven.
Such a wonderful, well thought out video. Thank you! The propane oven reminds me of the ovens in RVs. From having used one and talking to other campers, placing a floor tile (you may have to cut it) in the bottom of the oven seems to equalize the temperature. I do not think it matters whether or not the tile is glazed. This is the recipe that I use, but I am not a successful at getting the loaves, once shaped, to rise as high as yours. Maybe it is because I use fresh milled wheat flour. . Thank you again.
Please hurry with the book as at the rate of inflation and Shrink-flation very few beginners will have the means to lay in the volume of supplies a family needs. Enjoyed the video with your Sis and your dynamic !!! Sign me up for your book !! In the meantime I'll happily take in all the information your are sharing here.
You do realize there are lots of other books out there that are about how to start food storage, right? Not to mention many many RUclips channels that can give you ideas and help? Don’t feel that y9u have to wait for their book to start food storage.
@@KellyS_77 Very, very true but I would assume she has come to trust Pam's judgement in things........great point though. Kinda like some of the YT videos on canning, I would assume some storage videos are the same, everyone jumping on the boat doesn't necessarily have the truth of how to do it correctly. But I applaud you for pointing that out to Dana M.
I've been baking bread since I was a kid in high school. Mom would bake 2 loaves, us 4 kids would devour them in short order. Eventually she told us if we wanted bread we'd have to bake it ourselves. She had become frustrated. I was the only one who learned it. My 3 sisters never baked bread for some reason. Now I've tried your technique and recipe and the results have gotten rave reviews. Love the caterpiller. And speaking of old bowls, my dough rising bowl belonged to my grandmother and dates fron the 1890's. A big old salt glazed brown stoneware bowl with a horrible crack. But it is a prized possession.
This is something I have been researching myself! I am so excited to see you are collaborating with your sister on a book. I want to be one of the first to say I want one!!! I don't have the money to get either the propane oven or the sun oven but have been collecting different bread recipes that can be done on top of a small stove in a pan. So far I have had occasional success, lol. I am working on it though! Thank you for this new book and for your grid down cooking series! I need this!!!
What a great video! And thank you for the reminder to practice now. Since we’re in Alaska, and when things go wrong they go wrong in the middle of winter, I need to practice cooking outdoors in the snow and ice!! And I finally got up the courage and used my pressure canner - nothing to it😆 I also tried to make ghee yesterday using four pounds of butter and burned it all. But “when at first you don’t succeed - try, try again”, right? And even though we already had snow on the ground a few times I’m still harvesting kale! Want to dehydrate and powder some as well as can some. You have been such a great source of information, thank again 🥰
I have used Pam's video 2 times now to make ghee. The first time, I was overly concerned about burning it and ended up with more of a clarified butter that I was still able to use. The 2nd time, I got ghee, but I also learned from another video, that some people prefer their ghee slightly darker brown for an even nuttier flavor. I hope you didn't throw yours away, because in that video, the professional chef showed how dark some people like their ghee to be and it was pretty darn brown. Having Pam around is great, I consider her a gift from God to me and every one else who is now making things they used to keeper on a "things to do" list. I've now made ghee with Pam. I purchased and began using my Presto canner and I always cue up Pam's videos when I'm doing it. I've raw packed chicken and hot packed it, (both smell bad if you ask me, but taste fine after adding lots of spices. The chicken soup smells great and I look forward to making chicken dumplings with it.
You may have just passed an invaluable bit of wisdom to this never baked a single loaf lady. My boys are grown and gone but I still remember all the time I spent bathing and diapering their bottoms. Both my sons are bread bakers. The oldest loves sour dough and naan bread. The youngest likes plain loaves. Neither one will teach me when they are back home visiting because they only want my casseroles. Won't they be shocked when I figure it out on my own. Bet your butts. Lol
Ahhh! Memories! When I was a Peace Corps volunteer (Kenya, Education, 86-88), I would bake bread on my doorstep using a "sufuria" oven. A sufuria is a flat bottomed, round, metal pot that will work on a stove, on a charcoal fire, wood fire, whatever heat source (except microwave, of course! Ha. We should be so lucky!). I put rocks in the bottom of the largest one, inverted a second one to form an oven. I would take a smaller one (8" dia.) and put the bread dough/batter in. It took about 3 hours. It was a good trick to use if we were low on kerosene (for the wick stove...that would take about an hour.).
On the outside "browning" of the bread from the Sun Oven: Could you pull the bread OUT of the loaf pan (just after full baking) and then water mist it where you want it to "brown" on the outside crust, and then return it for a brief time to "brown" and then take it out, cool, and serve? That thought crossed my mind as a type of fix for the lack of outside crust brownness. Love your videos! GOD Bless, Star
Totally agree. This lady has really opened my eyes. Just found her last weekend and I am going to learn how to make bread and store water. Also going to prepare a bug out bag. She is definitely forward thinking. I an going to start sharing her videos. We take so much for granted in this country. We are so blessed with an abundance of clean water and store bought food. 2020 was a wake up call that the preppers got years ago!!
@@jackiedaniels9764 Eating sprouts won’t last as a long term plan because you’ll eventually need more seeds. At some point you need to grow plants to replenish your seed stock.
I love using my All American Sun oven!!!!!! I use it often for the fun of it. Works amazingly. During the winter when the sun is low in the sky you just turn the oven a different direction which allows the sun to come in at the right angle. Practice yea!
Wow--love all this support! We are still in development mode and need to locate the best publisher! We will make an announcement as soon as we know something
Electricity is a luxury not a necessity. Alarmist rationalizations aside, less than 100 years ago people were so resistant to paying for electric, electric companies were installing lights in ballparks for free to sell their product in the Midwest. 😊. My Weber grill has a thermometer. Fire is kept in one corner.
How are you storing 130 lbs of flour? You won't care if the bread is pale if the grid is down. It'll be the best bread you ever made and tasted. You're a trouper!
If you are near an LDS Home Storage center, the LDS Church sells flour in #10 cans that will last for years. Also, whole wheat, white and red. Other long term storage foods are available, such as potato flakes and oatmeal, regular and instant. Check online to see if one is near you. The price is excellent since they make no profit. They did run out of food for a time during covid. They do not have some endless supply, but either grow it on the welfare farms or purchase it in the open market like everyone else. So keep that in mind.
I'm convinced that these people, such as Mrs. Rose Red, who teach us how to get through challenging times (power out, grid down, etc.) are the best. God must have sent them.
Amen. He has called many people for this time and given them particular skills to share.
Amen! I like watching her because she gives the science behind her reasoning and we see she has the expertise. Amazing God send she is.
Amen!

Interesting. I'd think that the plastic wrap would melt long before the box got hot enough to cook, but I'm just guessing.
Tried this with my son a few years ago and it failed...

@@patti6194 Thank you! The #1 question I've been pondering is how much solar it would take to pump water from the well.
Just watched. It's been about 25 years since I baked bread. This was so informative. I love your teaching style. This looks delicious.
Glad it was helpful!
This granny of 6 loves your videos and is very excited about the book. Most days I feel like I'm prepping for my entire family, they all think I'm crazy, so it can be a bit lonely and scary. Thanks for your upbeat and skill filled advice! !
While I’ve viewed several of your videos more than once, I heard you give the ingredient amounts to make bread for a year. Thanks again!
Age give away... I grew up hearing "if the bomb hits" as well. I am from a survivalist/prepper family, so, we are prepared for, 🤔, pretty much every case scenario. But... if you 2 write a book, I will buy it. I will a few, and, gift them, to somebody that needs it. I support a book, like that, so much, that I would buy it just to support your writing it. You are such a fantastic teacher. It's a Wonderful idea. So, I'll take 3 when you have them ready. 😁👍🏻
Me too
Ditto.
Yes please write a book. Even if it’s a pdf I will print the recipes for grid down. Thank you. You don’t know how many lives you may save 💗
Yeah. I used to laugh at them in high school: hide under your desk. I told people they wouldn't have to worry about fall-out because our school was across a field from a SAC base (Strategic Air Command Air Force base). They would be a target so we wouldn't be around to worry about it. Hide under your desk. Even some high school students aren't that gullible.
Another Ditto! And would buy a few for gifts, especially for those who can’t boil water 😉
Loved It!! I have a Sun Oven as well as a Solar Pot. I haven't used them for a couple of years but I was just talking about getting it out the other night with my neighbor. He has one also. My bread turned out much like yours did. It was a little pale but delicious! You might not be aware of this but your Sun Oven can blow over if a breeze gets it just right. My neighbor built me a frame to go around mine out of 2 X 4's. They surround the oven on three sides and the oven slides in it. Then on the 3 sides of the wood is a metal bracket that acts as a foot and keeps it balanced. A Solar Pot is fun as well. I think I baked a round loaf of bread in that as well. Keep up the good work. You are my conscience reminding me of things I need to do again and I appreciate it!
That is good to know, Susan. Thank you! We get strong winds up here.
Ooh I didn't know about the solar pot! Better look that up. I have the sun oven and I love it, especially in the oppressive Oklahoma summer heat when turning the oven on is out of the question.
That's such a good idea about the frame. Using rocks and bricks can be a pain. Thanks for the idea!
A rocket stove would be a good thing to check in to also since you can make one easily with cement blocks or other materials.
@@lisakukla459 where did you purchase your oven?
@@sweett4rt Yes, I definitely agree with that! It's far safer to use fire rated bricks, and it would be very wise to go that little extra step while we have the ability to prepare properly.
But in a disaster situation, do what you gotta do.
Oh, this just reminded me - I remember seeing a video on how to do a concealed, nearly smokeless fire by basically digging a rocket stove shape into the ground. Might come in handy one day.
Two loaves per week: Amount of ingredients... 130 lbs (pounds) of flour-: 5 lbs(pounds) of sugar-: 3 lbs(pounds) yeast-: 2 lbs(pounds) salt -: 3 quarts(12 cups) oil-: 9 gallons ( 144 cups) water.
Thank you that is the best tutorial on bread making I have seen
The "caterpillar"! Makes complete sense and I've never seen the technique before. I'm 54banf still learning. God bless you for sharing your knowledge.
Love your videos! What a blessing you are for such a time as this. North America is about to go into times of testing of biblical proportions and we all need to learn what your wisdom can teach us. It’s not if ,,,,,,it’s when we will be dealing with no power. Blessings to you. Hope you will ship to 🇨🇦👍🏻
I want your book and your sisters book as well. I love all your videos. Thank You for sharing your knowledge about cooking, preparing and all your tricks.
My first time for baking bread.... coming up! Thank You Rose Red 🍒
This is exciting news! I have ernestly started my storage because of that video, not just extras here and there. I have started a calendar of purchase, where I have written all the non-food/paper/soap items I regularly purchase and spread them out over the year, and when I need to repurchase the things. When my FIL said to get an extra package of tp, because of stabilty, my husband finally understood my obsession with food storage, and not just home-processed tomatoes and peppers.
I am so thankful for this video. My next major purchase is going to be a sun oven. So glad to know how to use it for bread baking not just cooking meats. Thank you so much for your excellent videos on being prepared and self sufficient.
I’m so grateful for your wisdom, tips and presence in this community!!
Brilliant idea. Please complete the book ASAP . Times are very difficult and there is a strong possibility it will save lives. God bless you
Pam, this was great! My husband is the bread maker and will enjoy watching this episode. We are planning on getting a solar oven and take advantage of our Arizona sun. Thanks to you we are on our way to becoming Preppers! Mandy from Tucson🌵
Hi fellow Arizonan! We are in Pearce 100% off grid
I have an All-American Sun Oven it is awesome for making bread
That is what mine is as well.
That is great to hear, Mandy. Love Tucson! I was there several years ago learning astronomy at the top of Mt. Lemon with those fantastic telescopes!
You are such a wonderful, beautiful lady. Thank you so much for all you do. You look so much like my mom in ways. She was a wonderful cook too. God bless you dear lady.
I’ve baked bread by hand for years ,though it’s time consuming it’s actually easy. Being a single person I rarely eat bread now. I lived for several years in an area here the electric was always going down, one winter it was down 10 days, I cooked on the BBQ, ran a generator for the fridge you have to have milk and eggs even butter.
dried pasta, rice and beans are good enough. Bread is nice, but not a necessity.
I wrote down a recipe for Bannock (camp) bread. You can cook it over stovetop or campfire.
@@DogsRGr8 Yes, but if things are very bad for a long time, you can grind local ingredients and bake bread from them. Acorns (processed correctly), other nuts, many plants that produce seed including lambs quarters, the beans off of Mesquite trees (if you're far enough south to have Mesquite), etc.
Thanks for this comment. I was wondering about using our Acorn (like an Egg) barbecue.
Appreciate you! This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. I’m probably about your age . My mother was born in 1925 and that’s her same bread recipe she passed to me. She always made homemade breads cinnamon rolls etc. The smell of baking bread brings back so many priceless cherished memories ❤️🙏🏻Good Bless you & May God Save & Bless the USA❤️🇺🇸✝️
Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent demonstration using these ovens. I have been eyeing the Camp Chef oven for a while now so it was nice to see an actual demonstration. I look forward to your sister collaboration book. I taught myself how to make bread as a young wife/mother. It is definitely a useful skill.
Look for my comment on this item!!! 😞
@@cindys.w.8566 Read your comment and appreciate you review. I've been on the fence with this oven and guess ill stay on it:)
Thank you Mrs. Rose Red! You are a blessing
I just got a Coleman camp oven to try to make off grid bread. I finally got to where I love making bread, now it's time to take it to the next level! I enjoy your videos because you explain everything in detail. I like to know why I'm doing something while I'm doing it. Good video~
I just got one too. Haven't tried it yet though
Excellent demonstration and guidance. Thank you! When you cut through that 2nd crunchy loaf all I could think about was having a nice warm piece with a big chunk of butter on top. Oh, yeah. Looks delicious!
Grid Down! would be a great title for the book that you and your sister are writing. I can hardly wait for it. Bless you both.
Or SHTF cooking
Hello Ms.Rose, I thank you for all your ideas, videos, and sharing. I have been cooking like a prepped for good many years and baking bread for all 36 years we have been in the USA, came here as immigrants from them Czechoslovakia. I baked all our bread mainly because it was better and cheaper then buying, and with seven children it gradually meant two loaves a day! I had to laugh when you said the had to be soft as a marshmallow. Guess what, mine has to be as soft as a pillow. I am thankful to discover your blog and I have watched any episodes. All my children are gone on their own now but I keep on gardening, canning and baking, and sharing all of it. I am your kindred spirit in PA.
My grandmother was also from the Czech Republic near Brno. She baked the most wonderful bread and was a professional Baker. I am also from Pennsylvania.
I’m practicing my apocalyptic cooking now, because we cook for some people now who are old, sick, and poor. I love taking hot tastier foods to people. My hubby is the delivery guy, people love him lol.
A big oval crock pot is your friend. I put a whole chicken or roast in the center. Surround it by veggies and season. Personally, I love Italian seasoning in everything, so for the first round that is what I use.
Cover the veggies and roast (but not the whole chicken) and cook on low overnight or high until tender. I slice and eat the chicken or roast with those veggies. Then I push the carcass down or leave the rest of the roast and fill the crock pot up again with more veggies to make soup. Add water as needed.
Typically, I do white or red potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onion, garlic the first round. Then, when I make soup I'll use cubes of butternut squash or sweet potatoes instead. Or add curry powder to make curried soup. If there is meat or chicken left, I might then cook lentils and rice in with it. Or use lentils and rice instead of veggies for the soup.
By doing this, I cook once and make many different-tasting meals. Great for individuals or small families or to share with your friends.
Great video, we all need to learn how to live without electricity!
Pam, I appreciate your candor about practicing these skills!!
Awesome video. I am really wanting more more grid down cooking demonstrations. Thank you so much.
I really like the idea of using grocery sacks to cover the bread. I have been saving sacks for a few years and I catch so much flack over it. Those sacks are a great resource but you have to keep them!
So do I, I have three bags of grocery bags. I have a medical problem that requires throwing away trash. So saving the grocery bags pays off when I'm in public. As long as there are no holes in them I save them all. It they're wet, I let them dry off, then roll them around my hand and put the end through the hole.
Newbie here…I am loving your videos. It’s 3:44 am and I can’t stop watching
Adapting "if the bomb hits!" Move over "when the grid goes out!" 🥰
When I was young I learned to make bread, of course by hand. Our neighbors up the road had a Bosch bread mixer and I vowed that I would have a Bosch bread mixer one day (I really don't like the feel of mixing anything with my hands). Several years later I got married, we had a baby and about a year and a half after she was born we all went to the fair and guess what they were selling. Yep, I bought me a Bosch bread mixer. That was 36 years ago and I am still using it. I did have to replace the tired, over worked mixing bowl a few years ago but other than that the machine is still going strong. I can't tell you how much I love that old thing.
Hi Pam,
Great job with the demo of each cooking method. I have the same sun oven as you. I have never used it, but was very concerned about the bread not browning, after I heard many people talk about their results. I am so glad the bread tested 200 degrees when it finished cooking. That other oven is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, and it is multi-functional to boot! I have to get one of those. I was thinking that maybe you could have put the bread from the sun oven, into the Weber oven to brown up a bit, since the one loaf had already baked. That way both loaves would be brown. Maybe remove the sun oven bread at 190 degrees and place it into the Weber oven. Just a thought. However, this is the way to go and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for showing both ovens. You are just the best. I know the book isn’t finished, but I absolutely LOVE the theme of the book and feel it is sorely-needed. Sign me up as I’m ready to get one now! My husband and I didn’t have a clue as to how much wheat to buy. It was our first and continued item we bought, and…continued to buy….consequently, let’s just say there’s a lot! We didn’t know what we were doing, but we knew we had to have wheat. We got off wheat and went to oats, then rice, but by then we knew a bit more than we did with the wheat, so we didn’t over purchase. I’m a little wiser than then, but we still have all that wheat, so we will be using your recipe to make lots of bread. I made an Ezekiel bread that was more like a batter bread, but very tasty. It was not easy to gather the ingredients and grind them, and it took several hours. That just isn’t an everyday bread. By the way, the caterpillar you made on the video today was terrific. It looked exactly like a caterpillar, from this end. Great job on everything, and thank you. Tell your sister hi!
I have made bread before but haven’t used this little oven. I did buy one so this video is fantastic
I'm excited to see your new book! I've been studying ways to bake and such without electricity. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Wonderful news about the upcoming book! I neeeeeed a copy!!!
That’s so exciting! I can’t wait to see this book of yours! I also can’t wait to add it to my shelves! I always learn new things when I watch you. Thank you for helping me be a better steward from my family!
Oh my goodness…you are a masterful instructor…I thoroughly enjoy your videos and learning the nuances as well as the basics of bread making. Thank you so very much….
So glad you did the comparison! Wondered about the solar oven. I’m tempted to try and make a solar oven. Thanks Rose!
Great video. I haven't made bread in years. Gonna start again. Thanks for reminding me how satisfying a fresh loaf really is... Comfort will be a needed feeling.
Great idea! I look forward to this coming book.
Can't wait to see cookbook. Thank you so much for all your videos. always anxious to see the next one
Looks sooooo delish!! The paler bread looks just fine to me! All ya need is a slather of butter & you`re good to go! I need to check into the solar ovens..I have a slight phobia with propane :( Great video as always!
My goodness Pam, and Jim, is there anything you two cannot do...Don't answer that I was being cheeky 😊. I saw this video available as bed time arrived and rarely break it. You are worth being sleepy at work. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING you two do. Thank you ever so much!!!!
Wow, thank you!
I have been dabbling in baking bread. We have a bread maker, but as you said, "if the grid goes down". So Ive been looking for a way to do it, just in case we do lose power. Thank you so much! 🍞
Awesome! I have the same Sun Oven and really like the propane oven your shared. I'm not sure if others are aware of the speed at which things are changing in this country thus making this video extremely important. Thank you so much for sharing this series of videos.
I love that oven stove! The sun oven is very cool too.
Excited for the book! I agree that God has blessed these women and I am so thankful they are doing His work by sharing this knowledge with us. Plus she's so fun to watch!!!! Love her!!
"Prepare for the worst and hope for the best."
YESSS DO SIERIES OF GRID DOWN!!!! very well thought out video. Great job 👏
Thank you! Will do!
Loved seeing the use of the Sun Oven. I have one for emergencies that I have never taken out of the box. You have reminded me that I should work with it a bit! I do not think the paleness would bother me a bit since I was still eating well! However, I wondered if ,when spraying that water on it , if you made it sugar water, maybe the sugars would caramelize and brown it a bit more. It was an eye opener to hear how much of each item was needed to bake bread every week. I hope people are paying attention to the numbers!
Oh, you should! It's wonderful for homemade baked beans, soups and chowder.
Same the color doesn't bother me. I bake all of our bread in a Pullman loaf pan, so our normal bread doesn't have that dark brown color. Bread is bread I love pretty much all of it!
@@baillysmom- I have a sun oven and have cooked lots in it. But for some reason, bread turns out steamed, not baked. I have been practicing using a wood fired oven.
Were do u buy sun oven?
@@christines2787 I have been contemplating practicing Dutch oven bread with charcoal....
How to bake bread has been the last thing I couldn't figure out... Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome!

Thank you for spreading your knowledge as that is power 💚
Have you checked out no knead bread ? The gluten develops with minimal kneading 🍞
A book! Great! I thank both of you!
Such a wonderful, well thought out video. Thank you! The propane oven reminds me of the ovens in RVs. From having used one and talking to other campers, placing a floor tile (you may have to cut it) in the bottom of the oven seems to equalize the temperature. I do not think it matters whether or not the tile is glazed. This is the recipe that I use, but I am not a successful at getting the loaves, once shaped, to rise as high as yours. Maybe it is because I use fresh milled wheat flour. . Thank you again.
Excellent info... can't wait for the book!!! Off grid experience couldn't come at a better time thank you!!!
Please hurry with the book as at the rate of inflation and Shrink-flation very few beginners will have the means to lay in the volume of supplies a family needs.
Enjoyed the video with your Sis and your dynamic !!! Sign me up for your book !! In the meantime I'll happily take in all the information your are sharing here.
You do realize there are lots of other books out there that are about how to start food storage, right? Not to mention many many RUclips channels that can give you ideas and help? Don’t feel that y9u have to wait for their book to start food storage.
@@KellyS_77 Very, very true but I would assume she has come to trust Pam's judgement in things........great point though. Kinda like some of the YT videos on canning, I would assume some storage videos are the same, everyone jumping on the boat doesn't necessarily have the truth of how to do it correctly. But I applaud you for pointing that out to Dana M.
We are on it!
I've been baking bread since I was a kid in high school. Mom would bake 2 loaves, us 4 kids would devour them in short order. Eventually she told us if we wanted bread we'd have to bake it ourselves. She had become frustrated. I was the only one who learned it. My 3 sisters never baked bread for some reason.
Now I've tried your technique and recipe and the results have gotten rave reviews. Love the caterpiller.
And speaking of old bowls, my dough rising bowl belonged to my grandmother and dates fron the 1890's. A big old salt glazed brown stoneware bowl with a horrible crack. But it is a prized possession.
Peter: It sounds like you have figured it out. Enjoy your bread baking. Jim
This is something I have been researching myself! I am so excited to see you are collaborating with your sister on a book. I want to be one of the first to say I want one!!! I don't have the money to get either the propane oven or the sun oven but have been collecting different bread recipes that can be done on top of a small stove in a pan. So far I have had occasional success, lol. I am working on it though! Thank you for this new book and for your grid down cooking series! I need this!!!
We will also be showing how to bake bread in a Dutch oven over wood or charcoal.
Watch The Hillbilly Kitchen, Becky makes delicious bread in a cast iron skillet on the stove top. She makes all kinds of wonderful old recipes too.
Great demo.. Good for you.. Lochness Scottish Highlands..
What a great video! And thank you for the reminder to practice now. Since we’re in Alaska, and when things go wrong they go wrong in the middle of winter, I need to practice cooking outdoors in the snow and ice!!
And I finally got up the courage and used my pressure canner - nothing to it😆
I also tried to make ghee yesterday using four pounds of butter and burned it all. But “when at first you don’t succeed - try, try again”, right?
And even though we already had snow on the ground a few times I’m still harvesting kale! Want to dehydrate and powder some as well as can some.
You have been such a great source of information, thank again 🥰
I have used Pam's video 2 times now to make ghee. The first time, I was overly concerned about burning it and ended up with more of a clarified butter that I was still able to use. The 2nd time, I got ghee, but I also learned from another video, that some people prefer their ghee slightly darker brown for an even nuttier flavor. I hope you didn't throw yours away, because in that video, the professional chef showed how dark some people like their ghee to be and it was pretty darn brown. Having Pam around is great, I consider her a gift from God to me and every one else who is now making things they used to keeper on a "things to do" list.
I've now made ghee with Pam. I purchased and began using my Presto canner and I always cue up Pam's videos when I'm doing it. I've raw packed chicken and hot packed it, (both smell bad if you ask me, but taste fine after adding lots of spices. The chicken soup smells great and I look forward to making chicken dumplings with it.
@@omearica-rc6fp maybe I will keep some of the ghee! But I’m also already making more 😆
Good for you! That is a true triumph and I am celebrating for you!
Great video!! I can almost smell that bread from here! Yummy!
Great video. I also sorely underestimated the amount of flour I need in my pantry. 😔
So excited for your collaboration!!!
my grandmother was a great bread baker - she used to say kneed until its "smooth like a newborn baby's butt."
Love your channel!
LOL! Love that.
My mom said the same thing!
yup that is what I heard too, I am 73 years old "till feels like a baby's bottom"
😁
You may have just passed an invaluable bit of wisdom to this never baked a single loaf lady. My boys are grown and gone but I still remember all the time I spent bathing and diapering their bottoms. Both my sons are bread bakers. The oldest loves sour dough and naan bread. The youngest likes plain loaves. Neither one will teach me when they are back home visiting because they only want my casseroles. Won't they be shocked when I figure it out on my own. Bet your butts. Lol
Ahhh! Memories! When I was a Peace Corps volunteer (Kenya, Education, 86-88), I would bake bread on my doorstep using a "sufuria" oven. A sufuria is a flat bottomed, round, metal pot that will work on a stove, on a charcoal fire, wood fire, whatever heat source (except microwave, of course! Ha. We should be so lucky!). I put rocks in the bottom of the largest one, inverted a second one to form an oven. I would take a smaller one (8" dia.) and put the bread dough/batter in. It took about 3 hours. It was a good trick to use if we were low on kerosene (for the wick stove...that would take about an hour.).
A solar oven can be constructed out of cardboard and aluminum foil for the reflecting panels.
Wow what a HUGE blessing you are! ♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
On the outside "browning" of the bread from the Sun Oven: Could you pull the bread OUT of the loaf pan (just after full baking) and then water mist it where you want it to "brown" on the outside crust, and then return it for a brief time to "brown" and then take it out, cool, and serve? That thought crossed my mind as a type of fix for the lack of outside crust brownness. Love your videos!
GOD Bless, Star
I make bread in the All-American Sun Oven as well. I find adding a little milk on the top will Brown it nicely.
Another great video. In the summer I use a Dutch oven on the grill to keep the heat out of the house. Comes out great.
Do you have a wait list for you and your sisters book? Will it be available before Christmas?
Pam stated in a video the other day, she was looking to have it finished sometime in Feb. '22 if possible.
@@BrattyPatriot Thanks,I missed that. Just in time for my Birthday. Win win!

DO NOT FORGET SIMPLE FLAT BREADS AS WELL.
Wonderful idea, so looking forward to your book. Nice to have your sis with you.
Both breads look yummy to me lol.😁
What a wonderfully easy recipe thank you so much for sharing
I don't think most people can wrap their mind around how vulnerable the whole system is and how horrible things could get.
Totally agree. This lady has really opened my eyes. Just found her last weekend and I am going to learn how to make bread and store water. Also going to prepare a bug out bag. She is definitely forward thinking. I an going to start sharing her videos. We take so much for granted in this country. We are so blessed with an abundance of clean water and store bought food. 2020 was a wake up call that the preppers got years ago!!
@@jackiedaniels9764 Eating sprouts won’t last as a long term plan because you’ll eventually need more seeds. At some point you need to grow plants to replenish your seed stock.
I'm afraid for the ones that have not prepped or could not, But I do believe we are going to need to know and quite soon too.
130 pounds of flour, my eyes about popped out of my head, I was so pleased when I bought another 2 5 pound bags, I have a lot of work to do. LOL
I love using my All American Sun oven!!!!!! I use it often for the fun of it. Works amazingly. During the winter when the sun is low in the sky you just turn the oven a different direction which allows the sun to come in at the right angle. Practice yea!
Where can I pre-order? I'M IN!!
I want to pre-order your book also.
I'm in!
Wow--love all this support! We are still in development mode and need to locate the best publisher! We will make an announcement as soon as we know something
What a wonderful experiment. Thank you!
Electricity is a luxury not a necessity. Alarmist rationalizations aside, less than 100 years ago people were so resistant to paying for electric, electric companies were installing lights in ballparks for free to sell their product in the Midwest. 😊. My Weber grill has a thermometer. Fire is kept in one corner.
Wow great news!!! Very exciting 👍🏻
How are you storing 130 lbs of flour? You won't care if the bread is pale if the grid is down. It'll be the best bread you ever made and tasted. You're a trouper!
Auguson Farms sells wheat in 40-lb pails, so just store 3-4 pails. You have to grind it, of course, but 5-7 cups a week is do-able.
If you are near an LDS Home Storage center, the LDS Church sells flour in #10 cans that will last for years. Also, whole wheat, white and red. Other long term storage foods are available, such as potato flakes and oatmeal, regular and instant. Check online to see if one is near you. The price is excellent since they make no profit. They did run out of food for a time during covid. They do not have some endless supply, but either grow it on the welfare farms or purchase it in the open market like everyone else. So keep that in mind.
You could do 125 pounds in 5 gallon buckets. 25 pounds each in mylar bags in each bucket with oxygen absorber.
Didnt even watch it yet, and already love it
