Baking Bread In The Forest :: Firebox Billy Can Oven

I love that you try these things. I was impressed how well the cooking actually worked. Nothing a tweak to the recipe will not fix.

Don’t see the funny tasting bread as a failure we enjoy the waffling and the beautiful springtime woodland. Plus there’s always the opportunity for another bread based video.

kiss = 1cup water + 2 cup bread mix + dry yeast sachet (tspn); mix into dough; rest/rise (while you get the fire setup & going); cook for 1/2hr DONE

So close to 8k subs Jethro!! Thanks for a charming, calming watch.

We have something in common Jethro. I see you used a Hatchet to score the soft bread before baking. My one and only attempt at Bread baking resulted in a 'Product' so hard it required a small hand axe to smash the crust, which revealed an inedible glutinous sludge inside the kerb stone like creation. 😆

That was brilliant, keep them coming .

Yeah was thinking you could've turned the bread over when you checked midway......instead of yogurt, throw in a can of beer with the flour and salt and some butter or cheese......it's what us Aussies call a "Damper" and it's always cooked outside. I remember my first time trying to cook a damper but used my Uncle's gas oven......the bread looked good from the outside but was still very doughy on the inside......so i fed it to my cousin's dog......poor thing couldn't crap for a week lol.

Something about cooking over wood makes things taste .... worthwhile? As if the work you put in amplifies the senses. I watched this just 10 minutes after finishing dinner, and my mouth was watering! It's certainly a more successful episode than the eggs. Well done!

Awesome! Have to say I have taken to using the old ferro rod and steel, it can be very satisfying, but it's still variable - sometimes it can work first strike or it's thirteen misfires and misses, before finally getting one on target. Nevertheless I can light my Trangia and petrol stove with it, and it certainly saves on matches. For a wood fire, my firelighter of choice at the mo is cotton wool smeared with Vaseline. Don't think it's failed yet. Read about it somewhere. So rather than buying posh firelighters I've opted to get a roll of cotton wool and a tub of Vaseline. I then decant these to a small freezer bag and a little Nalgene tub for the Vaseline. 😁👍❤

Nailed that one- not necessarily the bread but the vibe.

Another inspiring video 👍 and it confirms you can’t cook or bake 🤣 but keep going it did look lovely

I'm sure Ray Mears will have a recipe for bread.

I love me some banana bread and I bet Billy could handle that. Cheers!

How about making damper? Easy to make and bake on the campfire. Tastes great 👍.

Bread looked good. Nice and simple oven set up. Cheers.

Soda bread…or a type of bannock…😋😋

great bread recipe.......sainsburys

Well done Jethro a valiant attempt who doesn't like slivers of flint in their bread 👏

10/10 for how the bread looked; delicious! Definitely put coals on top next time, Dutch oven style. Sausages looked very tasty too 🙂👍

I give that bread a 9.5/10!!! It looked delicious! For the next loaf of bread maybe use the nano!😃. This was swell!
