A little more expensive than regular bread but even if all hell doesn't break
loose that could be a major benifit.

Since it keeps so long I could store a pile of it and never run out of bread
again! No fussing with the corner store being out or only having stuff that
will expire faster than I can use a loaf or it being too %!@#$%@!% cold to
go to Wal-Mart!

Currently I buy a loaf or 2 at a time, make peanut butter sanwiches out
of all of it, then freeze them and take one out each day to take with me
when I go to work. Obviously the size of my freezer limits how far ahead
I can plan.

Now if I can just find this somewhere in Canada. (I'm almost certain
Canada customs would consider "canned bread" a suspicious package...)

B&M (the bean people) makes this canned bread and this is the best for when SHTF IMHO. BTW I have had it and it is good but you cannot make sandwich out of it. The Jews used Matzo for when TSHTF and this can also be a good idea. YOu can get it the grocery often on sale for close to $1/can so do not buy it on line.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT IN STORE ,ANY STORE TO LOOK FOR

It should be right next to the BM beans in the canned goods isle.

Thanks for the heads up. It seems that this is pretty well known by people that live up north. It is not in any of the stores I have been too. Northerners I have talked to say it is really excellent bread. I just ordered some here:

Mmmmmmmmmm................Bread! With honey. Or ham. Or....another slice of bread!

[Ancona]

You had all the ingredients: bread, ham, honey, mustard, lettuce, mayo, more bread and 'tis heavenly eating. Back when we raised hogs as a cash crop and also had many hives when I baked hams I glazed them with honey and black pepper. My son buys honey so he can eat what he grew up on. BTW - I toast bread for sandwiches, they hold together better, don't drip and fall apart on you. I like BLT sandwiches, too, and the real neat kicker on a BLT to give it pizzazz is some horseradish.

And yeah, we grow and grind that, too, LOL.

I want to learn how to make bread without an electric breadmaker, and bake it in a solar oven. I think that if it is done right, a solar oven can become a part of our appliance collection and save a considerable amount of money. All I need is a good recipe and advice.

I also want to know what happens if commercial yeast becomes hard to find. Can it be "grown" in water or something then frozen as ice cubes? How about using less and waiting longer for bread to rise?

Hi Ho Silver

First post on a silver forum and it's about bread... oh well

Yes I have tried the BM Bread... it is much more like fruitcake without the fruit than bread as in sandwich stuff... very rich.. one half inch slice is filling.

You can can up bread and fruitcake with or without fruit at home for much less but there is no way to prevent botulism in canned breads without special equipment so it is not recomended.

I recommend buy wheat.... the grain.. stores for about 7 years if pack in a mylar lined superpail, unlike flour which is seldom still good for bread making after a year or so ( It won't rise).

And using a small home wheat/ grain grinder, grind what wheat you need and bake bread fresh.

Hi Ho Silver

Harvesting wild yeast in a dough starter is called sourdough.

About Yeast

http://whatscookingamerica.net/Bread/yeastbreadtip.htm

To keep yeast going, pinch off a handfull of the bread dough and keep it in a warm moist place and use it to start the next batch of bread .. and then pinch off an handfull of that dough keep it in a warm moist place until the next batch of bread ect of course you will want to be baking fresh bread every 3 or 4 days using this method.

Really neat solar oven plans.... this is the one I want http://www.solarcooking.org/plans/Cookerbo.pdf
