Thnx a lot guys!

ps your sig, is that that character from In The Night Garden :)

:D No, it is a Lakota saying, it translates into something like "I am a man of mother nature". It is taken from the book "Seeker of Visions" By Lame Deer, it is a book that made a great impact on me when a was 15-16 years old, and the saying has followed me since then.

Just a quick question!!!! All the recipes state flour - is that Plain or Selfraising Flour???????

personally i use either, self-raising is just plain with baking powder added i believe. if i do use plain i add baking powder.

500g self raising flour
1 can (around 330ml) beer.
salt

Mix it up to a doughy consistency. You may need more more flour/beer to get it right.

Cook. You can either bake this in a dutch oven, or wrap it on a stick and cook over an open flame.

Great thread,

Nah, taken my inspiration from THE GUVNOR! YOUVE GOT TOO HAAAAAATEEE!
 
Here goes...
You can tweak it a bit to simplify for campfire cooking.. I make the mix up in a bag before I go to a meet ... You can use those ikea food bags to mix in and some of those disposible plastic gloves they wear in high street food shops help to avoid getting messy hands when mixing!;)

to make approx ten.

600g strong white bread flour (plus extra for dusting).
1 heaped teaspoon sea salt.
2 heaped tablespoons of baking powder.
1 teaspoon caraway seed (my ingredient).
6 tablespoons olive oil.

mix flour, salt, baking powder and herbs in a large bowl (use a fork). Make a well in centre, pour in some olive oil & 150ml warm water.
Use fork & bring in flour from the edge.
Add more water if it is too dry..
Wet hands & make a ball of dough.
Dust hands & on a clean surface knead dough until it's smooth and elastic (5-10 mins).

Dust dough with flour & cover then leave to relax..
Divide dough into equal amounts, oil hands & squeeze to flatten.. Dust as you go.
Turn twist pat and slap them (each one should be 1cm ish thick!)

Cook for a few mins.

enjoy.
