Jamie & Charlene
As keen campers we bake Wright’s bread mixes on our campfire in an old ammo box just the size to take a medium bread tin and then cover the ammo box with coals on top and around for the oven affect.

Deb the Bread
During August 2008, Wright’s sponsored a stand at The Wilderness Gathering at Bush Farm Bison Centre, West Knoyle, in Wiltshire. Many were making bread on a camp fire – just like Jamie & Charlene. One of the judges was Ian “Max” Maxwell a world famous tracker. Details of this and forthcoming Wilderness Gatherings can be seen on the following website. www.wildernessgathering.co.uk

Hampshire Hawks Air Explorer Scouts
Hi thought you would like to see the results of cooking your cheese and onion bread mix in our camp oven. The Hampshire Hawks Air Explorer Scouts built the wood fired oven as part of their camp activities, we then gave them one of your bread mixes and a couple of foil takeaway tins and the result was two tasty very passable loaves of bread. Most impressive considering we had no idea what temperature the oven was at! Thank you for such easy to prepare bread mixes, we will certainly be trying some more at our next camp.

We have a tiny old caravan which lives on our daughter's farm in Wales. There's just a two hob cooker so we bought a gas barbecue also. I light one side and put the dough in tins on the rack at the other side, it bakes perfectly. At home I often bake bread in the stone bread oven my husband built for me in the garden. It uses scrap timber and twigs and branches from the garden trees and donated by friends so it's carbon neutral as well as saving gas or electricity. I sometimes bake bread on a charcoal firepot when camping in a tent. I have a very thick cast iron griddle which holds the dough, I cover that with an inverted steel basin and sometimes balance burning coals on the top. That needs very special heat control to prevent the base burning but it's very good - more like the bread I make in an electric oven with the dough covered with a basin. The resulting crust is thin and crackling - a lovely texture. Baking directly on charcoal is the oldest way of making bread, I believe. M

I use a woodgasifying campstove run on twigs . wood pellets etc, how about some simple campfire type recipes for those who wish to travel / camp but make nice breads? My W/gas campstove is around 3-4 kw output of heat capable.

I use the Naan bread mix as I can cook it on my small camp stove. It's easy to mix and role out and then I cook it in a frying pan slowly. Fresh bread when camping now that is new. I use a Trangier spirit cooker and the results on such a basic cooker is excellent.
