if you can find juniper berries on a cypress tree they are covered in yeast .all you gotta do is leave a few mixed in the dough overnight and bake the next day and you have bread .

I miss all the cooking with coalcracker videos. Will those ever come back on the regular? Will they have their own channel or playlist? Everyone loves a delicious meal. Even more so when camping or in a survival situation.

Fill the water bottle with cold water and put a touch of oil on the dough to prevent sticking.

A little salt will go a LONG way toward making that dough edible. If you can carry AP flour, you can carry salt.

I love any hack that lets me get multiple functions out of one piece of gear. Great idea.

[jpricepa]

I mix a half cup flour (or about) with a half teaspoon of dry yeast, quarter tsp of salt and maybe some spices like basil, dill, sage, savory, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. and carry in a ziploc bag. I can then make pan bread, pizza dough, biscuits or whatever. I also carry some olive oil, which helps with pan bread.

I like the bottle hack, but the flour tip is spot on. Something you never really think about but flour & water (maybe some salt) over a fire makes a filling & tastey "side" to any meal in the woods.

The “rolling pin” I use most of the time is an 18” piece of 3/4” dowel. A single piece of wood. No wheel and axle stuff. Surely, a master bush crafter can find a sapling from which to make one?
An easy pizza dough is to use a flour tortilla. This is the spot where we slap our forehead, and say, “DUHHH!”

On the other hand, I have never seen a real pizza maker within a half a mile if a rolling pin. They spin the dough up in the air (a learned skill beneath the pride of us bush-type crafters). The rest of us just stretch out the dough with our fingers. (Or, we use our cell phone to call for delivery. 😏)

And there I was going to replace my PF steel bottle with a military canteen. Guess I’ll be bringing both then. Thanks for the tip Dan.

If you want thin crust pizzas, use large flour tortillas - lightly coat both sides with olive oil, add sauce and toppings. cook in reflector oven or large covered skillet. 450 to 500 degrees - 12 to 15 minutes. No rolling pin needed. makes a good pie crust also.

Hand stretch your dough. No rolling pins for it

Im grandpa used to carry bakery mix or all-purpose flour in a jar 🫙 he'll put a layer of flour in the bottom put eggs 🥚 in thier shell cover them flour and then another thick layer on top and then more eggs and the more flower layers to protect the eggs from breaking!

[PulpParadise]

For a minute there you had me thinking you were overlooking the obvious solution, which most home cooks/bakers also know: use a glass. Same principle but different surface for cutting biscuits. One tip though, add a sprinkle of flour on the plate before you roll out and the dough won't stick. You can also add a bit to your rolling pin as well.

😂 you know ? Channel title theme song reminded me of 80s . Nice touch, bro 👍😆

[gerardmartyn]

Mrs Coal Cracker probably has one with her to keep you in line. LOL 😆 Great video as always brother. 👍

[williamburdon]

just a fat stick works too, cut it the size of your plate, take the bark off and then carve the ends thinner to make handles, if your water bottles are more square than round

[Metalheaddoc]

Try using self rising flour. It has baking powder added to it to give the dough some poof. And add some salt.

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures in camping skills
