Making Bread Without An Oven – The Pioneer Way by Steve Nubie

Making Bread Without An Oven – The Pioneer Way
Off Grids Food by Steve Nubie
Baking bread usually requires an oven. But what do you do when you’re a pioneer living in the 1800s — and you don’t have an oven? Simple. You use a frying pan, or twist the dough around a stick or make a version of cornbread on the metal side of a hoe or large axe. This is what our ancestors did for hundreds of years.
The first recipe we’ll explore is a frying pan bread often referred to as bannock bread. The recipe is fairly simple. The only trick is making sure you don’t burn the bannock.
Bannock Bread
Bannock bread ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of shortening
- ½ cup of dry milk powder (optional)
- Water
Bannock bread directions:
Before you add the water, you need to cut in the shortening using a couple of knives or a pastry cutter. After the texture appears crumbly, slowly add water until you get a putty-like consistency.
Oil a cast-iron frying pan. Mountain men would use bacon, salt pork or even bear fat. I’m OK with the bacon but I’ll pass on the bear fat. Pour the mixture into the pan. I used a small size 1 cast-iron pan. Place the pan over some coals or on the stovetop and brown for about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the bread over in the pan and finish the other side.
You might want to flip a few times to cook the bread through and to prevent burning. When you think it’s done, poke a stick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean and dry, then the bread is done. If not, then you can let it rest in the pan off the heat until it finishes.
Bread on a Stick
Another recipe was popular with sourdoughs and mountain men. It was bread on a stick. This was a surprisingly simple solution because all it involved was wrapping a long roll of dough around the end of a shave stick and setting over the fire. The stick was usually inserted in the ground at an angle to the fire and turned occasionally. If you dip your hand in water
and spritz the dough while it bakes, then you’ll get a pretzel texture to the finished bread twist.
Bread on a stick ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of yeast
- Extra flour for dusting and rolling
Bread on a stick directions:
Combine and mix the dry ingredients and slowly add the water. You want to create a dough ball that you can roll out into a rope of dough. Use the reserved flour to keep the dough from sticking. Let it rest for about 10 minutes after kneading and then wrap it around the end of your cooking stick. The ideal dimension for your cooking stick is about an inch in diameter with a pointed end and about 3 feet long. I usually insert one end of the dough into the point at the end of the stick and then try to either overlap the dough as it’s wound or if I’m lucky, push it onto a small branch about 10 inches down the stick. Set the dough on the stick aside and let it rise a little more. I just push it in the ground away from the fire.
When it’s time to bake or roast your bread on a stick, push a different sharpened stick into the ground at an angle to your fire. You could also support it with rocks. You don’t want a roaring fire. A nice bed of coals will do. Turn the stick from time to time, but be careful and wear gloves because the stick will get hot. You can also spritz the dough with water flicked from your fingers if you want a pretzel-like finish to the dough. You can toss some salt on the wet dough toward the end of cooking after your final spritz.
Tear a piece off and give it a try. If it needs more time you can slowly turn it over the coals.
Hoe Cake
 |
| Hoe Cake |
Another pioneer bread is commonly referred to as “Hoe Cake.” This is a cornbread that was literally baked on the curved metal side of a hoe. The hoe was parked next to the fire and the hot iron cooked one side of the hoe cake while the heat from the fire cooked the other side. I don’t happen to have a hoe, but I have a large timber-squaring axe, which did the trick just fine.
You can also finish your hoe cake in a cast iron skillet. It’s the same concept, although you have to flip if from time to time to finish both sides.
Hoe cake ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¾ cup of buttermilk
- 1/3 cup plus one tablespoon of water
- ¼ cup of vegetable oil or bacon grease
- oil for the pan or the hoe
Hoe cake directions:
If you want to do this the old-fashioned way on the side of a hoe (if you have one) or in my case, the side of a large axe – you’ll want a fairly thick batter that will stick to the side of the metal. If you would rather do it in a pan, you’ll want a cast-iron pan. Oil the pan and drop the batter into the skillet after it’s hot. You’ll probably want to turn it once or twice to cook it through and prevent it from burning.
Final Thoughts
It’s fun to try these old world recipes and they’re easy to make. You might want to experiment a bit, but it’s a good skill to know if you find yourself in the woods or wilderness and have a craving for something as fundamental as bread.

Loyalty To Kin - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins
Loyalty to kin
Once the natural order
End this evil rule
© 2022 M.N. Hopkins
Note: I was inspired and wrote this poem today in the haiku style of poetry with thoughts of very ancient times when people joined together to survive and thrive and insure a future for the generations to come. These myths, legends and stories of heroic sacrifice can be found in all cultures on all continents. Something lost when viewing the modern world and the current state of affairs. I published it for the first time on my blog today, the 27th of January, 2022.

See Clearly What You Truly Are And Remember - A Discourse by M.N. Hopkins
Our memories stay with us and cannot be overwritten by man. Our Creator wrote the code and it cannot be deleted or erased. Only the memories within a machine or a creation of man can be erased. All memories of our lifetimes have been written over the ages and will be stored within our human DNA. We take all knowledge, talents, skills and wisdom learned along our way with us when we end each lifetime here on Earth. The minds of this evil cult has been so tainted and sickened by their very weakness and dismissive characters and lack of honour and principles. They are on a fools quest in their attempt to rewrite our DNA thus creating their imaginary transhuman that can only exist in the minds of madmen. Survival of our species is written in our programming which is stored in our DNA. Only the Creator has the ability to override our code and would not subvert us. We have built in protection from viruses which our natural immune system will handle when the body is not tampered with and left to it's own devices. It is now time to reclaim this inherent knowledge and use your inherent strength to end this dream spell of imaginary sickness created and maintained by those of dark determination. The ones whom you are so afraid of are as little children afraid of the dark which we do not fear since we are the masters of both dark and Light, the bringers of justice and all that you call good within your world. It is now the time to end this foolishness. Join your wills with the will of God and end this reign of the tyranny of the weaklings. Those who join with the Creator will be filled with the Light of Christ. will be filled with Divine inspiration and given the inspiration to heal our brothers and sisters who have been deceived and fallen from Grace by taking the poison injection. God works through man directly but never by force or intimidation. It is now the time for those of intelligence, strength, love and courage to take back our world from the weak and pathetic minions of evil who are directed by an evil that has been around even before the time of Man who now run all your governments and institutions. See clearly what you truly are and remember.

Note: I wrote this discourse yesterday over a few hours. When I write such inspirational writing the words come to me very effortlessly and quickly. I first quickly write it out and come back and edit it later to make sure it is in proper English. I published this discourse for the first time today, the 25th of January, 2022.

Every Man Is..A Quotation by Voltaire
愛ある者は時に成功する - M.N.ホプキンスの名言
なぜなら、愛の道を選ぶ人は、はじめからそんなに簡単にはいかないからです。彼らが本当に戦うのは、自分の幻想や現実の誤った見方を維持するためです。彼らの想像上の恐怖は、その正体と、彼らが人類の集団に対して行ってきたこと、行っていることが明らかにされるでしょう。愛のある者はやがて成功し、あなたのレルムの中で新しい生き方を確立するでしょう。これは一晩でできることではなく、ゆっくりと時間をかけて行われることでしょう。
M.N.ホプキンス
注：この文章は15年ほど前に書いたもので、子孫たちが私たちを励まし、私たちが今日払った犠牲のおかげで、彼らが地球での未来の時間と呼ばれる生活を保証されたことに感謝している、長いインスピレーションの文章の一部です。 彼らはまた、完全に人間であり、自分たちの本当の歴史を認識しています。

爱的人将在时间中获得成功 - M.N. Hopkins的一句话
因为，那些选择爱的道路的人在开始时不会那么容易--因为，守旧派不会不战而降。他们真正为之奋斗的是维持他们的幻想或对现实的错误看法。他们想象中的恐惧将被揭穿，因为它们是什么，它们对人类已经和正在做什么。那些有爱的人将及时成功，并在你们的领域内建立一种新的生活方式。这不会在一夜之间完成，而是以一种缓慢而审慎的方式。

Những Tình Yêu Sẽ Thành Công Trong Thời Gian - Trích dẫn từ MN Hopkins
Bởi vì, những người chọn con đường tình yêu sẽ không dễ dàng như vậy lúc ban đầu --- vì, người bảo vệ già sẽ không từ bỏ mà không chiến đấu. Những gì họ thực sự đấu tranh là duy trì những ảo tưởng hoặc quan điểm sai lầm của họ về thực tế. Những nỗi sợ hãi tưởng tượng của họ sẽ được tiết lộ về những gì họ đang có và những gì họ đã làm và đang làm đối với dân số loài người. Những người yêu thương sẽ thành công theo thời gian và thiết lập một cách sống mới trong Vương quốc của bạn. Điều này sẽ không được thực hiện trong một sớm một chiều, mà phải diễn ra một cách chậm rãi và có chủ ý.
© MN HopkinsLưu ý: Tôi đã viết điều này khoảng 15 năm trước như một phần của một bài viết dài hơn đầy cảm hứng, trong đó con cháu của chúng tôi đang động viên chúng tôi và cảm ơn chúng tôi về những hy sinh mà chúng tôi đã thực hiện ngày hôm nay để họ được đảm bảo một cuộc sống mà chúng tôi gọi là thời gian trong tương lai trên Trái đất. Họ cũng hoàn toàn là con người và nhận thức được lịch sử thực sự của họ.

ผู้แห่งความรักจะประสบความสำเร็จทันเวลา - ใบเสนอราคาจาก MN Hopkins
สำหรับผู้ที่เลือกเส้นทางแห่งความรักจะไม่ง่ายนักในตอนแรก—เพราะว่าผู้พิทักษ์เก่าจะไม่ยอมแพ้โดยปราศจากการต่อสู้ สิ่งที่พวกเขาต่อสู้เพื่อจริง ๆ คือการรักษาภาพลวงตาหรือมุมมองที่ผิด ๆ เกี่ยวกับความเป็นจริง ความกลัวในจินตนาการของพวกเขาจะถูกเปิดเผยสำหรับสิ่งที่พวกเขาเป็นและสิ่งที่พวกเขาทำและกำลังทำต่อประชากรมนุษย์ ผู้แห่งความรักจะประสบความสำเร็จในเวลาและสร้างวิถีชีวิตใหม่ภายในอาณาจักรของคุณ การดำเนินการนี้จะไม่ดำเนินการในชั่วข้ามคืน แต่จะดำเนินการอย่างช้าๆ และรอบคอบ

प्यार करने वाले समय के साथ सफल होंगे - एमएन हॉपकिंस का एक उद्धरण
क्योंकि जो लोग प्रेम की राह चुनते हैं, उनके लिए शुरुआत में यह इतना आसान नहीं होगा --- क्योंकि, पुराने पहरेदार बिना लड़ाई के हार नहीं मानेंगे। वे वास्तव में अपने भ्रम या वास्तविकता के झूठे विचारों को बनाए रखने के लिए लड़ते हैं। वे क्या हैं और उन्होंने क्या किया है और मानव आबादी के लिए क्या कर रहे हैं, इसके लिए उनके काल्पनिक भय प्रकट होंगे। प्यार करने वाले समय के साथ सफल होंगे और आपके दायरे में रहने का एक नया तरीका स्थापित करेंगे। यह रातोंरात नहीं, बल्कि धीमे और जानबूझकर किए गए तरीके से किया जाएगा।

בעלי האהבה יצליחו עם הזמן - ציטוט מאת MN Hopkins
שכן, מי שבוחר בדרך האהבה לא יהיה כל כך קל בהתחלה --- שכן, השומר הזקן לא יוותר בלי קרב. מה שהם באמת נלחמים בשביל זה לשמור על האשליות או השקפות הכוזבות שלהם על המציאות. הפחדים הדמיוניים שלהם יתגלו בגלל מה שהם ומה שהם עשו ועושים לאוכלוסיות אנושיות. בעלי האהבה יצליחו עם הזמן ויבססו דרך חדשה לחיות בתוך הממלכה שלכם. זה לא ייעשה בן לילה, אלא בצורה איטית ומכוונת.
