There's nothing quite like fresh baked homemade sourdough bread but in this week's wilderness cooking video we're going about the bread making process a little differently. To start with, I'll show you how to make a primitive mud oven, aka earth oven from locally sourced materials. Then I gather wild yeast from Aspen bark to make sourdough starter. This earthen oven is constructed with a cob mixture of mud and grass formed over a kind of "upside down" basket weaved of flexible twigs. Once the mud is dry enough to hold it's shape, I built a fire inside to dry and harden the oven. Earth oven primitive cooking is actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. Just heat the earthen oven with a fire, rake out the coals, let it come down to the correct temperature, and put your food in to bake. I made homemade biscuits, sourdough wild yeast bread, and blueberry scones. Earth ovens are a fun bushcraft project and quite useful in a wilderness living or long-term survival situation.
