I’ve always used dry complete pancake mix. It has leavening ingredients as well as powdered milk. A favorite for the kids was add a small amount of sugar or very lightly drizzle with honey just after it’s browning, The honey soaks in and browns up. Each kid got their own stick so there’s really no mess. They love to participate, and learn patience. It requires supervision and attention. They enjoy that too and learning many things in the process.

Heck we even cook meat directly on the coal by putting all the meat of the dear or goat inside the skin of the slaughter animal then barying it in the sand and charcoal. Fried coffee beans , roasted popcorn, roast watermelon seeds mixed and a cup of tea with fresh goat milk and it’s a feast….Somali Style and sleeping under the stars with no roof or walls and let the fresh breeze rock you to sleep.

The old boy scout books (pre-1930) said you could create a dough by simply pouring water into the top of an open flour sack and stirring with a clean stick.

Useful dough tip: The stickier the dough the fluffier the bread. The best texture of dough is one that is technically sticky but as our man said, you don't want it to actually stick to your hand. More like "pull away" Adding some fat or oil to the dough before you cook it will make it fluffier as it cooks too. The water and fat/oil fight each other on who can evaporate first and it forms bubbles. With those two tips just about anyone can make a good bread with practice. Love this video!!!
