Serves: 1-2
Prep Time: 1-30m
Difficulty: easy
Backpacking: Yes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tbs powdered milk
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

At home: Mix all ingredients and place in a ziploc bag.

In camp: Add 1/3 cup water to bag. Mix well. Shape the dough to about the size and shape of a hamburger.

Cook in a lightly oiled frypan, flipping every few minutes to avoid burning. The bread is finished cooking when the outside is brown and it is no longer doughy in the center.

Great with butter and jam or as a side with pasta. Try placing the bread in a bowl and then topping with chili.
