This morning I was telling Vince that it’s very easy to make this recipe – much easier than trying to find bread in some grocery stores around there. It isn’t really “fry bread” since it isn’t fried in oil and allowed to poof up.
Any bread recipe will work but I was making English Muffin Bread this morning. It was time for breakfast and I didn’t have any sandwich bread. My flour tortillas are gone. I have a few Hawaiian rolls left but wanted to save them for lunch so I pulled off a piece of the English Muffin Bread dough, rolled it out and pan fried it in a bit of butter.
That was just what I wanted. It’s like a thick flour tortilla but better and if you have a way to cook, even without electricity, you can have fresh bread, cooked on a cooking surface.
So many people were asking on various groups about how to cook without electricity. These methods will need ventilation but with a little planning, things can be cooked/heated very quickly. Without a gas stove, you can have a camp stove (I have the Camp Chef set up in the garage downstairs til I get a gas stove). The ones I’m familiar with are backpacking and rocket stoves but there are others. Just please have something . . you never know when you’ll need it.

That is such a good idea. what was so sad, me reading people’s pleas today concerning not having electricity–people had gas stoves but because they had electronic lighters had no way of knowing how to light it with a match, or lighter. Shaking my head on that one. People please be prepared for anything life might throw you.

When our power went out in Virginia during Hurricane Isabella, we had to light our propane stove burners with matches/lighter sticks. You just turn on the burner and hold the lit match or click the lighter to the burner and the propane/gas will catch fire from the flame you just provided. We didn’t try to light the oven – that igniter was much too difficult to get to with a lit match.
Tonight my husband came home and we talked about our preparations for a power outage, as he has a friend in freezing Houston. We probably don’t have quite enough water, but I do have containers to fill. I mentioned that since his friend is sitting in the car to charge the cell phone, then sitting around the kitchen stove to stay warm, that she and her husband could hang up blankets at the kitchen doorways to keep the heat in the kitchen. Of course, this means that the rest of the house will get colder, but they will stay warmer in the kitchen.

That bread looks yummy and easy enough for me to try. Is there a way to check if your yeast is still good before you mix it in?
Judy Laquidara says
Yes, mix it with warm water, add a bit of sugar or honey. If it bubbles or gets foamy, it’s still good. The first thing I do is smell it. If it smells off, I’d dump it and start over.
