How Do You Make Bread for Backpacking?

By Alice Nichols

Making bread for backpacking is a great way to enjoy fresh baked goods while out in the wilderness. It’s a lot easier than you might think and can be done with minimal equipment.

All you need is some flour, water, yeast, salt and a little bit of time.

Start by mixing the flour and water together in a bowl. You’ll want to use enough flour that the dough is thick and holds its shape when you knead it.

Once the dough is mixed together, add a pinch of yeast and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough for several minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

When the dough is ready, form it into a ball and place it on a lightly floured surface. Let it rest for several minutes while you prepare your backpacking stove or campfire to bake your bread in.

Once your stove or campfire is ready, place your dough on an oiled piece of foil or parchment paper so it won’t stick to whatever you’re baking on. Place the dough on top of your stove or campfire and cover with another piece of foil or parchment paper to trap the heat in. Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through so both sides cook evenly.

Conclusion:
Making bread for backpacking is easy and can be done with minimal equipment. All you need is some flour, water, yeast, salt and a little bit of time to prepare your dough before placing it over your stove or campfire to bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy fresh baked goods while out in the wilderness!
