Bushcraft Bagel ...... Hobo Style

[FGYT]

more playing with my Asda Drainer and 12cm Zebra just to see what you can do already converted to Gas and suitable for a stir fry now we bake stuff



ok this is the second go at a little oven

problem was to much heat on the bottom not enough on top as in a proper oven etc

i decided to thin the patty down but also put a hole in the middle this would let heat up to the top and keep the dough of what i assume id the hottest part of the pan ie the middle

had a lok at some cake cutters which where the right size but had a soldered seam i didnt fancy
so founds a bit of 1.5" copper pipe and cut a bit off
and here we go the Bushcraft Bagel baker

mixed up a dough in the pan of SR flour, milk powder and salt with water formed a ring. put a bit of Veg oil inthe pan and put on the Hobo

Turned over after 10 mins

cooked for a further 5 mins

i used charcol as a fuels to make teh temp control etc easier now jsut need to practice with woods to get it right

also probablt a littel to much oil but was fine not burnt

could do Donuts next time with more oil

is it worth the hassle .............. yes probably its quick n easy to do annd tastey tho you will need to get teh fire to settle with embers etc

True - but is it wrong to want to have a go anyway!?

Nice tutorial Dunc! - never tried cooking a bagel but as you say the hole in the middle makes sense

Good job there Duncan, I like that idea!

 

[Toddy]

Me too

Especially since gluten free bread is dreadful unless it's just freshly baked.

Improvise..................

HA! thats fantastic - now boil and egg, shell it and mush it all up with some cheese and cherry toms and whack it in that tasty looking bagel - all nice and hot, how does that sound for a bushy brekkie in the woods . (grocery shopping still hasnt been delivered - bannock bagels looking v good right now)

A proper bagel is boiled initially isn't it? - perhaps you could boil / poach the egg at the same time

but after this i might go for the Donut

and i did nearly crack an egg in the middle with grated cheese

Oks next oven run
wasnt happy with the center chimney and wanted to get some real heat up top so following Dutch oven design ive made a ring to put a lip round the top of the lid and used it to hold hot coals this was a baby food can and is a littel bit to big to sit firmly but fine to try the idea (cause ive got one )
also Pizza this time

home dough base ie bannock mix with garlic butter salt pepper and Oregano
1/4" thick then topped with Tomato puree cheese tomatos and peparammi slices
i putthe hot coals on top and left it liek that for a couple of mins before puttin the whole thing on the hobo stove for 10 mins
a little burning o nthe base I guess more time before putting it o nteh stove etc

tasted pretty good and the smell of herbs garlic and bread floating round the garden was nice
think i over did the purree was a bit tomatoy
oterh than that very nice for a first try will sort out a better fitting top ring that wil also slide in the set
