Ready for a bread that has been about since the time of the Egyptian Pharaohs and is hard enough to have been around since that time? Sounds unpleasant but it really it’s an important staple for survival!

You might know it as hardtack. A bread that was hard and eaten during wartime, usually made about six months before being shipped out to soldiers. Many would eat it with their favorite beverage, usually coffee, and when they dipped it the hardtack would soften-up.

It is an incredibly easy bread to make, has a very long shelf life and these are two reasons it is considered survivalist gold! Even if you don’t think it’s flavorful (hey it's hard bread!) it is filling.
