Ash Cakes -Primitive Bread Baking-
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- This is a method of baking bread using only the coals and ash of a campfire. This primitive cooking technique has been used for thousands of years across many cultures to make bread without the use of an oven.
The breads baked in this video are modern options, though primitive flours and home-ground meals can also be baked in this way. Whether it is being used for survival or as a quick and easy way to have bread out on the trail, cooking bread in the ash and coals of a fire is a great method and skill to have.

Hey Group,
This is a video that was requested by a subscriber. Though the flour/mix is.not a primitive recepie, the cooking method is an incredibly useful skill. A primitive bread video should be done in the next month(yucca bread).
The Dr. appointment had mixed news. My vision has gotten darker this past week, sunlight is brighter for some reason as well. The retina appears to be stabilizing and they are hopeful, but a cataract is growing and a lenses replacement will be something in my future. The right eye will not get better, but one half functional eye with oil in it is what I have to work with and it will be enough.
Tell me what you think about the vid. Have any requests or ideas? The temps for cooking videos will last through January... it's still in the high 80s,. Thank y'all for watching, sharing, and above all else caring after my health and families well being. I'll keep working at getting better, there's no other option.
-Bob Hansler
Bob Hansler - you keep it up bud!!....youve got alot of folks supporting you!.... Thanks for keeping the videos goin!
I often wonder if this kind of bread may need some yeast. Good stuff Bob...keep up the great work!
Awesome video Bob. I've done bannock bread over a fire and baking powder biscuits on a hot rock but never ash cakes..... Just as an aside.....Ashes from the fire actually make the nutrients in the corn more digestible. Back in the day people that relied heavily on corn in their diets got a disease called Pellagra. It was a pretty nasty disease and very prevalent in the Southern states of the US due to economic issues that affected diet. The peoples of South America and the Native Americans of the Southwest discovered centuries ago that by introducing lime, wood ash or other alkalies into the corn during processing that the disease was prevented. Just a handy fact in case you are a prepper and are corn reliant or you just like to gather trivia to bore people to death.
One of those lessons that has stayed with me from many biology courses. It is the defeciency of.niacin and is why white bread eventually had to be re-enriched. You can find enough niacin in a variety of foods, even raw meat will get you there in a bind. Another good reason to diversify your diet as much as possible. Pellegra was crazy.... literally.
How about recipes using Plantain, green and very mature plantain. I think is an unapreciated food source in some regions.
Keep it up mate, and goof luck
Never seen this done with bread, so cool! Not many people realize that ash was added to many foods like corn to help break it down and add nutrition, so it's a great by-add to the bread. Well done Bob!
The Wooded Beardsman Beardsman, how in the heck are you man? I truly hope all is well.
It's an undervalues cooking method. Works well in the morning after a group of fire happy folks have fed the fire well the previous evening.
All good! Just wrapped up Season 2 of our survival challenge. I see that YT is not giving everyone updates about it LOL
No, YT is doing strange things with notifications and promoting...
If you want to chat, I can give you a heads up about the algorithm!
I love how Huckleberry will only eat if you say "ok". Really cute and well trained dog :)
He's an awesome little monster. If you asked him though I imagine that he would note the training that he has given us ;)
Huckleberry gets to eat first. Smart dog!
@@symmetrytanner5156 Animals are smart. Who does the labor of getting the food and preparing it? All they do is eat it! Or not. And who has to work to pay the mortgage so they have a roof over their heads? Or provides the heat so they can stay warm? Talk about training us!
I have to say, though, that cats can bring home the mice, if you're into that. And I knew a dog who brought home a steak from someone's grill. Never did find out who it belonged to. (No, it was not my dog. I understand the steak was very good.)
A fun little side note, the ash on the cakes is actually quite helpful for your digestive system and you can barely taste it. It's actually been used as a leavening agent in ancient Native American recipes, and the Romans used it as well (mixing it in with their salt to extend its lifespan). So for anyone concerned about eating (pure) wood ash, there you go. Not only is it harmless, but it's also beneficial. Especially in a survival situation where you'd be after any source of minerals you can get.
Wow over a year and still hearting some random comment. My hat's off to you, sir! Love your work!
I notice that the pup shows up any time food is ready for eating :D
+poplug
I'm glad you're okay with it.
He probably calls him.
He is smart but want eat until his dad say ok! So smart
But then never eats any of it
Huck stamp of approval. Love you guys. GB.
Blondie66 yes!!! Lol
i lived in the woods withouth anything and made bread out of everything for about a year. this reminds me of some good and bad times, thanks a lot.
much love from germany. may nature be with you
Please share more of your recipe adventures! This is how we learn/re-learn together.😊
That says alot about a man when he graciously feeds his best bud b/4 he eats...he was well behaved too...
You should begin a video choosing what to wear for the day. Then cut to a closet full of green shirts!
I go throughout the day without wearing a shirt, only put one on for the videos ;)
ha ha!
Symmetry Tanner grow up
"I just now remembered how to use gloves." I love it! Praying for you from San Antonio.
Im a guy from the tiny scattered islands of Maldives. You might have heard of it. But i highly doubt you would have. Cause its so tiny. And most of the time ud have zoom in on to just see the islands. And for an island guy like myself, we never saw mountains, lakes or creeks. We just have lots of sea surrounding us and a few mangroves. But ever since a kid, after watching so many cowboy and american cultural movies, i actually grew so fond of habitats like where you hang around. It would be a dream coming true to live a life such as that. So just felt the need to tell you that. Because by showing us those videos of how to survive in the wild, it almosts feels like living with you after watchin them all. I wish ud come down here to our country, and make some videos to survibe in the uninhabited islands. The wild side of island life.
FINALLY, someone put up a baking video for a bugout/survival type scenario. All the others I've seen want you to lug around heavy and bulky equipment.
that dog is so damn cute lol
Oh, he knows... he is a mess.
YALL SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO TOGETHER !!!! OMFG MY TWO FAV CHANNELS WATCH EACH OTHER
Greatest of Doggos!
Junkyard Fox his name is Huck! He always steals the show.
What a great dog! Doesn't take any bite until told "OK." That's a dog that respects Bob as pack leader, and is calm, confident and content to wait until invited to eat, even with the tasty temptation right there.
When will Huckleberry get his own channel?
I have only made flat ash cakes before. Your thick ones look much better. Will give it a try. Thanks.
Man, that fire roasted outer crust on that camp fire bread would be my favorite! I love crunchy crust and still warm off of the coals? Forget about it! I would be too busy stuffing my face to do anything else, except perhaps try to "forage" some butter...
Huckleberry is quite the discerning food critic!
a grain a fat a flavoring and a fire, best recipe ever
Oh that was easy!!!
Thanks for taking my suggestion on ash biscuits!!!
Lol I thought I would of had to cover them with the coals ! But now I understand more
Thank you for the suggestion. Looks like it's a bit of trail knowledge that more folks could use.
One of the things (few things) (VERY few things) That I like about the internet is the ability to share information like this. I appreciate the outdoor, prepper, survival, bushcraft, woodsrunnin' videos a lot and have learned a lot from them even though I've been stompin' the woods for over fifty years. You can teach an old dog new tricks as long as the dog isn't too proud to be willing to learn...even from a 'pup' ;)
+Ethan
The internet is the new public library of our era. Anything you care to know is right there at your fingertips. It's amazing.
LOL!! 8 min in and just remembered how to use gloves! :)) Puebloan Native American women deliberately use 4-wing salt bush ASHES in their cooking. Fire kills any germs. And the ashes provide needed salt and minerals. Very healthy for you. Also adds a WONDERFUL smokey flavor in soups and stews. It is called culinary ash. This was a GREAT demonstration. TX!!
Done this alot with soda bread too. Thank you for this awesome video
Yea Bob, never seen that done before. I have seen meat cooked on live coals before but never bread. Looks like it worked out very well.Thanks for sharing.
Along with brewing the coffe, the coal from the nights fire has made me a breakfast biscuit or two.
If I remember right, Bisquick is a water-only mix. That is truly a minimalist technique. Thanks again.
Never saw this type of unleavened bread baking! Sending you & your family healing thoughts for your eyes but you obviously have the ability to see greater than most even with your limitations. Your Huck red healer is the life that this breed should only be living. Bravo
Love your pet and beautiful family. I wish I could visit you one day. You're one genuine fellow. I love your videos.💞
Amazing way to cook. Enjoyed your videos.
You know it's good when Huckleberry eats them.
Good information Bob
This is incredibly resourceful, I feel like if a survivalist expert because of these videos lol, thank you.
I also see Huck is very well trained and will not eat food, even when put right in front of his nose, until you give the "ok" command. That was fun to watch. Great taste tester!
Watching Huck eat was my favorite part :) PLEASE create a channel called Bob & Huckleberry’s Outdoor Adventures !!! You BOTH need a TV show
Great video! Almost like making tortillas on a fire!
love huck! glad he approved!
Love it!! This is brilliant especially if as you mentioned, you’re “on the move.” Bob you’re awesome. What you and your wife are doing for our families is amazing. I’m super grateful.
I love that you’ve got Huckleberry so well trained. He’s such a good boy.
God Bless you all~Lisa
Huck would insist that he has trained us well ;)
I really like your video
easy and good! Huckleberry approved!
Ash cake sounds like something that would be in Skyrim lmao
Just did this last week...lol Amazing how many people knock this method until they've tried it..
Looking through similar videos on UA-cam... it is likely that they were given bad instructions or shown a shoddy bit of baking. Have to teach them.
I love how you need to say ok for your dog to take the food from your hand. Very well trained dog and great video very informative
I love your videos! Keep ‘em coming!
Aaah!! I love Huckleberry! Such a good boy! My dogs would eat the bread right off the rock if they had access to it like that.
God bless you
Cool trick! Having fresh bread out on the trails is a huge morale boost for me and it spoils easy!
Thank you very much for sharing these very informative videos. I love camping and still eat out of the pots that my Dad used to cook my family many meals while in the bush.
love the dog, he has more manners than most children!!
I haven't made ash-bread in years... lol looks good...
Thank you kindly...
I still got real hungry, watching!
That looks great!
Lol!! 8 minutes in...remembered...gloves! That was great.
This great way to make bread and other cooking to (it brought me memories from early childhood in a remote village in greece
Outstanding once again.
Hi Bob, I enjoy watching your videos and have learned much. Dried milk and eggs are a lightweight food source that can be carried and add much to camp food recipes and ash cakes. Thanks for sharing your wealth of information and experience.
great video. i've done bread cooking like that on the trail. my kids were amazed. just a lttle knowledge goes a long ways back packing . Than k you for a great video
That blueberry came out way better than I thought it would
Well worth it on a packing trip.
Huckleberry approved? Awesome!
Welcome to baking Damper. Australian's learn how to bake this in country schools at primary school.
Wrap it around a bark stripped stick and you have Damper Rolls.
Great for using to sop the campfire stew/soup.
Nice, I cook trout the same way. Just throw them on the hot coals. Sometimes I'll bring some hickory chips and make a nice bed over the pine wood coals and let them burn down before laying down the trout.
This was one of the best videos I have ever seen. I just happened across this video today, I am impressed, I am going to subscribe now !
Glad you found the channel.
Awesome. Thanks.
It's funny Tuck only waits for the OK when he wants to wait, any other time Tuck has about 3 chews in before the OK is sounded
I never knew you could cook cornbread in a ash that's so cool thanks for all that you do I now want to try the foods that you have done
Awesome video. Finally something to use those leftover ashes on the summer barbecue for. Showing a dog eating my cooking attempts isn't much of a selling point. My red heeler eats anything off my fingertips, then licks the skin off.
Awesome
I think that is really great and I'm glad that you put a video out here about it I can't wait to try this on my next camping trip or hiking trip or fishing trip even just to impress my friends and also just try it out and see how it works and it continued to do it until I perfect-it I love every video you put out thank you so much for everything you do you really are a master.
love n blessings to you and your family. healing and comfort to u both
Thanks for the update, Bob. And for the caveat; I don't remember any other coal/ash cooking video in which we were reminded of that.
Which caveat?
At the end about woods you don't want to use for this type of cooking.
Ahh yea. Ruins food. Sappy wood has been a concern in several facets of outdoor living.
Liking this. Cool for primitive or last minute, no time to pack extra gear camping. Thanks.
This is a great video. I’ve never heard of anyone doing this but its an obvious and easy way to make bread cakes on a camping and survival trek. Of course they probably taste better with butter but you can’t have everything.
Your videos ROCK, Bob. Thanks
This is cool, my mom does this every once in a while. You can also buy this type of bread from the market here, although here it is cooked with sand, not just ash
This Is So Cool
I love Huck!!!!
Your videos are awesome! God bless you and your family! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Your a good man
You're a beast! I would love to hear how you're doing, and what the future holds. Again, only because we think/care about ya!
The people that I gravitate toward most in this world, are those who have endeavored through adversity. The depth and flavor they have obtained through sh** that sucks and is overly inconvenient are my people. They still keep going, and foster a positive outlook on life. I don't care what you look like on the exterior. If you're cool, then you're cool. I dig your energy friend! Let a weaker person succom to going blind or whatever their lot in life is. Rich folks and celebrities are not really happy from what I observe. Just saying. Keep it up professor. My best to your missus and Huckleberry.
Your videos are so relaxing and educational. love it. Greetings from Germany.
Very nice. Ill try this someday with the kids. Thanks!
you could add some powdered milk to the mix before you leave.
What a wonderful dog with a great name! Love your videos.
When Huck took that first crunchy bite at 5:11 and paused, it looked like he was wondering what the fuck you just gave him lol. Glad he actually ended up enjoying it!
Looks amazing
Man that looked amazing. And I love your dog does not take a bite into you say OK hes a smart little guy.
really like your dog
Good stuff! Thank you, Bob & Huck.......Always learn something from your videos
I enjoy learning about these things thanks for uploading this my dude
Awesome technique...
👍🏻👏🏻🤗
Love this channel
Looks good.
I watched a video of Billy Rioux where he cooked steak directly on the coals. I never knew you can cook food right on the coals.
Please don't die out on us. No matter whats happened to you you keep going don't ever stop. Always have the will and keep the mentality up. If you need hope. Look at ur bestfriend standing by u in every video counting on you to go on those walks and love. Just like your family they have stuck with you cus they look up to you and your lil ones probably tell u or in their heads want to be just like their father. This is just another test by life. The outcome is in ur hands.
Thank you for this.
Bob Hansler No need to Thank me. You to me look like someone who doesn't back down from whats being thrown at him. Specially if family is involved. Therefore you can't quit no matter what anyone or anything says. I'd die doing for what i love. If my doctor told me i had a spine problem and that riding my bike would kill me. I'd tell that doctor "Good... At least i know im going out doing something i wouldn't regret after the outcome." Im pretty sure you feel the same. I live pretty close to you so hearing n seeing this happen to you impacts me pretty big. Will... Determination... And mentality.
I'm in love with your dog
Good one. Prayers n have a good Thanksgivings young man!
Love it man.
Excellent video. Please keep us updated on your well being. :)
one day youre gonna forget to go indoors and never notice. you are a true outdoorsman
Good video have to try Happy Thanksgiving.
This video made me hungry!!
What a great video thank you so much
Thank you for a wonderful videos! I admire you, and your beautiful family. Huckleberry always makes me smile!
