How to Bake Bread in a Coffee Can. Try it, it’s Pretty Cool!

bread in a coffee can

 

Bread. For the most part, we all love it! It can be soft, firm, crusty and if you slather on butter, jelly or honey it’s pretty darn satisfying. It really is a good survivor food because it’s filling. The trouble is if you buy the store-bought stuff it’s not quite as tasty as it could be. Some of it is good but then there are other brands that make the experience similar to chewing on a leather chap!

Let’s face it, if you want great tasting bread and also want to know what all the (healthy) workings are in side of it, you have to make it yourself! When a SHTF scenario happens you just may have to make your own bread.

“Whoa!” you may say. “I don’t know anything about making bread!” Lucky for you, we have everything you need to know on the next page. Not only will this be simple but if you are a coffee drinker your bread making equipment is a mere coffee can away!

    Make sure the can doesn’t have an internal coating that will cook off.

    And of course your 40 litre ruck will need an oven in it, and a freezer apparently too

    If you can squash the little feckers in the cans

    I thought the linings of cans where toxic when heated that’s what keeps them from rusting…paperchasenchump$

    Good luck finding a coffee can that is made of metal. There are a few around, save them!

    The problem is, what the hell comes in a tin can that big? Sure isn’t coffee!

    I use what the romans used (origin of pizza) flour and water flat bread.

    With the indented lines in the can, it seems like it would be hard to get the bread out of the can in one piece.

    If you cut the cans in half leaving the lids on like this (W) you can bake 2 loaves at a time..my mom did this all the time when we lived in Alaska.

    Only if you scratch the inside lining of the can… they have a coating to prevent leaching into foods.. unless you scratch the lining..then you have a problem.
