Campfire Cooking. Jalapeño and Cheese Bread Baked in a Reflector Oven. Quick French Onion Soup.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2023
- In this video, I am out in the woods to cook up some lunch - a cheese and jalapeño bread baked next to the fire in my reflector oven and a rich French onion soup to dunk it in.
There is something very satisfying and comforting about baking in the woods and a reflector oven means you can take an easily packable flat pack oven with you on wilderness trips so you can enjoy some baked treats where ever you make camp.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.
Bread Recipe (full loaf)
1lb plain flour
1lb strong bread flour
1oz salt
1oz sugar
1oz dried yeast
1pt tepid water
Mix the sugar and yeast together in a cup with some of you tepid water until it starts to foam.
Slowly pour the yeast mixture into your floured salt mix (a ziplock bag makes this much less messy).
Add the remaining water, a bit at a time until you have a dough that is firm enough to not stick to your fingers.
Kneed for 5 minutes.
Cut deep slices into the dough and place it somewhere warm to proof, a bag or cling films helps to keep it warm.
Once it has doubled in size, kneed again.
Form into whatever loaf you want and bake (reasonably hot oven or dutch oven).
Baking times vary depending on what loaf you make, but check after 30 minutes and tap the base to see if it sounds hollow.
Enjoy!
French Onion soup recipe (Sorry to any French viewers!)
1 large onion
2 sprigs Thyme
1 tbs brown sugar
A good glug of red wine
1 stock pot or cube
Water
Grated cheese
Knob of butter
Salt and Pepper
Fry the onions for around 10 minutes in the butter with the sugar and a good pinch of salt and pepper, until nicely browned and caramelised.
Deglaze the pan with red wine and bring to a boil.
Add a stock pot and around 1/2 pt water.
Add the thyme and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Grate cheese over the top and serve with jalapeño and cheese bread.

Deglazed...that ranks pretty high on a list of words you never thought you'd hear when cooking over a campfire.
Some people have just got it, some dont. Theres a reason Simon has so many subscribers.
Pure class. Better than most of us would manage in a kitchen 😊
Plaited bread, onion soup … you keep raising the bar for what can be achieved on a little fire in the woods! Nice video.
Hi simon!
I'm a fairly new subscriber, but I've seen almost all of your videos.
You have a very big heart Simon. You are a fine human being. You are very good at what you do.
I don't know if you thought about it, but first a teacher, then a carpenter. Everything leads to what you are doing now. Funny.
You don't just help people with what you do. You help them by just being you.
Keep up the good work you are doing. I will follow you as long as you post videos brother.
Lots of love from Sweden 🙏🥰✌
So true , I have learnt knots, cooking and camping watching. Great stuff
I've spent a fortune watching the man and i don't camp 🤣I have tons of Jetboil equipment sleeping bags, Olight torches.
Very fine words Sir !
Thank you so much! I can’t tell you how much that means to me! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@simonablokeinthewoods You deserve all the best Simon. You put your whole heart into what you do. And no matter what happens, there is a smile on the face. You do a great deal for many people 👍🤗
Wish you a nice weekend 🍻🙏🥰
(And Simon. There's no death. We never lose anyone. Maggie's got you covered 😉👊)
Caught the Newfoundland provincial flag patch on your pack. I’m guessing as a small memorial to sweet, fuzzy Maggie ❤ It’s comforting to me to know that she is still tagging along on your adventures, if only in spirit. She is most definitely missed.
All the best Simon, from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

I was super stoked to see the flag patch then immediately sad because Maggie :( As a Newfoundlander and a huge dog lover, I always loved seeing her. Great video as always Simon
Yes! A chef's bushcraft lunch with Simon. In the woods, with simple ingredients. If you ever decide to stop the "bloke in the woods" videos (heaven forbid) you can do "Bushcraft Chef" videos to make our mouths water and our tummies growl. Thanks for sharing. The only thing better would be to be there and enjoy it with you - which I am sure 193k plus subscribers would agree with me.
Thank you Ken! 😁
You are so very right!!! Only Simon is a million miles from me...well a few thousand anyway.
Had a super shit day . Feel better after watching this as I find baking therapeutic also the sound of nature . Had my mouth watering . Great video . I actually live in your neck of the woods . I’ve learned loads off you and vildmark rivers and trails . Thank you kind sir 👍🏻
Thank you! Glad the video helped! Look out for the next video - it’s a Simon and Vildmark collaboration 😁
There is a bakery in my community that makes a jalapeno cheddar bread which is my favorite. I'll have to stop by the bakery at lunch today and pick up a loaf. Thank you Simon for all this incredible work you do so you can share your passion with us.
That bread looked genuinely epic 😮
I am hungry now, wow thats some lunch
Wow! What a delicious looking meal you prepared. Interestingly, you and Andy just posted videos of your culinary accomplishments using the same reflector over technique. I think you two should have prepared a joint video. That way you and Andy could have eaten reflector oven baked chicken with that wonderful bread and French onion soup. Add a brewski or two or . . . and then you two would have the perfect meal! :) Great video!
I. Like the video before play button coz I know Simon content is 100% pure entertainment
Absolutely!
Thank you Aby!
I think you speak for most of us.👍🇨🇦
This is the way
Absolutely ❤
I thought I was safe watching this after lunch, but now here I am hungry again! Great video as always!
Omg, that looked so tasty Simon, would you mind popping around to my back garden and producing the same dish please? 😂😂 Thanks so much for taking the time to film and edit all of that. Superb.
Any time mate 😁👍
Just sat watching with the latest addition to the family ingratiating him into the world of Bushcraft and Camping… He celebrated his second week in the world by kipping under a tarp in mixed weather conditions, glad to say he seemed completely unphased by it all!!! 🤣
Start him young mate! 😉👍
Oh Simon, you've made me hungry! I'm camped in the woods at 7000' in Arizona, beating the heat. Fire restrictions have just been lifted due to daily rain for the past month. So… I only have a Coleman oven, not a reflector type which appears ideal, but tomorrow I'll be baking bread over a camp fire! Thanks Simon, you're an inspiration!
You’re amazing!!!Ive never made bread at home,let alone in the woods..😉You’re wife is one lucky lady!!🥰
Yes.give Simon some tinfoil and he can cook up anything 😂
Your videos are always very peaceful and relaxing, thank you brother!
Yet another editing masterpiece. So free flowing and for 23 minutes I escaped.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
This looks delicious 😋. Love your cooking videos, they are top notch. It's fun and relaxing to watch all your adventures. Thank you 😊
I appreciate this man. I'm sure many of you do as well. 👍
A new Simon video! I appreciate these simple videos as much as the camping/hiking/canoe adventures. They remind me to do and see new and interesting things in everyday life rather than only looking forward to the weekend.
Got to love any Simon Adventure and this one does not disappoint as Usual.A bit of everything with always mouth watering Camp Haute Cuisine🙏🙏🙏👍⛺️
Amazing! Now I want to go make jalapeño cheesy bread! I’m going camping with you! Great job! 😋
I wish this was my dinner tonight. Even better if it was in the woods!
Hey Simon: Hope all is well in the UK there. It’s the end of summer and this video kinda reminded me of that Soup and Bread 🥖 wonderful combination this time of year. I just enjoy when you teach us how to do things. Great video See you in your next video ❤ 🍽️🏕️
You make me want to start cooking outdoors
No smelly vision but crunchy vision on the end, topping off a feast for the eyes and ears. Thanks for sharing Simon👍
Couldn't miss it despite the jalapeno warning. Think I'm far enough away in Western Australia :) Very classy, Simon. Every video you have ever made is classy, right back to showing us your rucksack. Every one of them can be viewed over and over, and as a family, we do. Thank you for making our evenings so enjoyable.
Great video, Simon. Nice little camp lunch. The camp ovens really opens up possibilities for baking at a campfire, something most folks don't know about or really think much about.
Nice to see you enjoying the outdoors. I'm glad the rain let up for you.
God bless Simon and stay safe on your travels.
Is there no end to your cooking skills ? Next you'll be making lobster thermidor in the woods . Another relaxing and fascinatig video . Loved that vivid green carpet of moss on the tree trunk . 🥣👌♡
It's great to see a new video from Simon thanks for sharing this epic video.
I like the clear spoken communication. I'm a Kiwi and have difficulty understanding what some kiwi youtubers of similar outdoors genre are actually saying.
Love watching you using all your bushcraft skills. Thanks so much for sharing.😊
Awesome dude, cannot believe after all these years you're still making use of the spice kit.
Another fantastic video, cheers Col 👍🏻
Nothing better than a good lunch in the woods with Simon.Awesome
Got to love a man that cook/bake and a bushman all in one. Really enjoyed this one Simon. Your reflective stove is very cool.
Just like old times, really enjoyed that, especially after the day I’ve had. Thank you pal.
Thank you for sharing this lovely lunch and the recipes too!!! Love your videos Simon, we so look forward to each new one!!! 🙏
Jalapeno & cheese bread - making my mouth water already! Got guests tonight so I'll put this on my 'to watch' list and can't wait to see how it's done!
I love everything in this video, my favorite is always seeing The Simon's Saw, patent pending! In Oklahoma, we had rain almost every day back in June/July. Now it's just unbearably hot! Thank you so much for going through all this trouble for us!
My favorite bread to make, Jalapeno Cheddar bread. The French onion soup looked delicious.
I bet you can smell that food miles away. Cheers Simon for your work.
What a treat! We enjoyed having lunch with you today. Blessings brother.
Loved the video Simon. I just wish I had the patience you have when it comes to baking. Take care, stay safe, and God bless.
Congratulations for completing the Swedish Ranger course, Simon.
Nice cup!

They are really good! I got the grill, too.
I think you’ll be very happy with it mate 👍🔥😁
I do love watching your videos. You and Andy are two people I know won’t let anyone starve camping that’s for sure! What a great idea for the bread.
I swear I could smell that cooking/baking!
I’m loving the level of ambition with your bakes! Top knotch! 🫡🤤
OHMYGOSH.... I'm coming to YOUR camp fire for lunch!! YUMMY! Thank you, Simon, for all your fine videos!
Just watched your mate Andy cook whole chicken using the same technique, your bread and his chicken both looked awesome.
Better than therapy. Simon, you're Genius.
More campfire cooking of the highest quality. Another really entertaining video. Thank you Simon. Your content is superb.
You're food is amazing! You cook better in the woods than people can in their kitchen! Me first of all! Wow! Such wonderful food!!!

That looked so delicious. I need to try this. Campfire baked bread and French onion soup. How delightful.
I love cooking bread with added herbs. I really enjoy parsley dough, or maybe thyme dough, but for some reason, my missus prefers it with dil!
Love the shoe....😅
