This bread is great for camping, or if you want a bread you can make on the bbq or in a firepit whilst bbq’ing.

The Oz ealry settlers baked this bread on a open fire, you bake this bread in a regular oven, bbq or fire. A good twist on this recipe is to wrap the dough around a stick and cook over an open fire.

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup milk

Mix the flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Put in butter until fine crumbs form. Add milk to make a soft dough. Knead lightly on floured board. Shape into round loaf, brush with milk, and bake at 375 degrees F. for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the loaf makes a hollow sound when tapped.

If you are to bake this on a fire or in a propane bbq, we wrap the dough in non stick aluminum foil …if its non stick of course you will need to make it non stuck by using flour or a spray on non stick.

One great way to make this a sweet treat is to eat the fresh bread with butter, strawberry jelly (jam) and a dollop of whipped cream .
