Ingredients

  • 4 cups self rising flour
  • 2 1/2 cups milk or water

Directions

  1. Mix the flour with milk or water to a very stiff dough.
  2. It can be baked in one of several ways: in a cast iron dutch oven buried in the ashes of a fire; wrapped around the end of a stick and toasted over the fire;formed into a round loaf and baked in a conventional oven.
  3. It can be spiced up by adding a handful of dried fruits, by topping it with some mustard and grated cheese or, if you cooked it on a stick, by filling the hole where the stick was with jam.
