In this video, I am out in the woods to cook up some lunch - a cheese and jalapeño bread baked next to the fire in my reflector oven and a rich French onion soup to dunk it in.
There is something very satisfying and comforting about baking in the woods and a reflector oven means you can take an easily packable flat pack oven with you on wilderness trips so you can enjoy some baked treats where ever you make camp.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.
Bread Recipe (full loaf)
1lb plain flour
1lb strong bread flour
1oz salt
1oz sugar
1oz dried yeast
1pt tepid water
Mix the sugar and yeast together in a cup with some of you tepid water until it starts to foam.
Slowly pour the yeast mixture into your floured salt mix (a ziplock bag makes this much less messy).
Add the remaining water, a bit at a time until you have a dough that is firm enough to not stick to your fingers.
Kneed for 5 minutes.
Cut deep slices into the dough and place it somewhere warm to proof, a bag or cling films helps to keep it warm.
Once it has doubled in size, kneed again.
Form into whatever loaf you want and bake (reasonably hot oven or dutch oven).
Baking times vary depending on what loaf you make, but check after 30 minutes and tap the base to see if it sounds hollow.
Enjoy!
French Onion soup recipe (Sorry to any French viewers!)
1 large onion
2 sprigs Thyme
1 tbs brown sugar
A good glug of red wine
1 stock pot or cube
Water
Grated cheese
Knob of butter
Salt and Pepper
Fry the onions for around 10 minutes in the butter with the sugar and a good pinch of salt and pepper, until nicely browned and caramelised.
Deglaze the pan with red wine and bring to a boil.
Add a stock pot and around 1/2 pt water.
Add the thyme and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Grate cheese over the top and serve with jalapeño and cheese bread.

Yes! A chef's bushcraft lunch with Simon. In the woods, with simple ingredients. If you ever decide to stop the "bloke in the woods" videos (heaven forbid) you can do "Bushcraft Chef" videos to make our mouths water and our tummies growl. Thanks for sharing. The only thing better would be to be there and enjoy it with you - which I am sure 193k plus subscribers would agree with me.

@Aby7799

I. Like the video before play button coz I know Simon content is 100% pure entertainment

@sac7890

Deglazed...that ranks pretty high on a list of words you never thought you'd hear when cooking over a campfire.

@craiglake6091

There is a bakery in my community that makes a jalapeno cheddar bread which is my favorite. I'll have to stop by the bakery at lunch today and pick up a loaf. Thank you Simon for all this incredible work you do so you can share your passion with us.

Simon and his Mate from Kent Survival both doing reflector oven cooking in videos posted just 24 hours apart! Coincidence or collusion…? 😂

@IslaDuffy

Pure class. Better than most of us would manage in a kitchen 😊

@anoksf216

Plaited bread, onion soup … you keep raising the bar for what can be achieved on a little fire in the woods! Nice video.

@robthompson819

@leffee5381

Hi simon!

@sirroger1066

@KrusinTheSierra

You make me want to start cooking outdoors

@OoavastoO

Caught the Newfoundland provincial flag patch on your pack. I’m guessing as a small memorial to sweet, fuzzy Maggie ❤ It’s comforting to me to know that she is still tagging along on your adventures, if only in spirit. She is most definitely missed.

@papabear9481

I appreciate this man. I'm sure many of you do as well. 👍

@sjwillis1137

Is there no end to your cooking skills ? Next you'll be making lobster thermidor in the woods . Another relaxing and fascinatig video . Loved that vivid green carpet of moss on the tree trunk . 🥣👌♡

@margaretbagur3553

I swear I could smell that cooking/baking!

@melanieronbrooks80

My favorite bread to make, Jalapeno Cheddar bread. The French onion soup looked delicious.

@jamescoffey5225

Wow! What a delicious looking meal you prepared. Interestingly, you and Andy just posted videos of your culinary accomplishments using the same reflector over technique. I think you two should have prepared a joint video. That way you and Andy could have eaten reflector oven baked chicken with that wonderful bread and French onion soup. Add a brewski or two or . . . and then you two would have the perfect meal! :) Great video!
