I have the time, inclination and weather to bake more before I leave Q. If anyone wants some fresh free real sourdough bread, speak now. Or very soon :)
 
It would take me at least three days to get there. And with the price of gas I have to wait for uncle Joe stimulus check to arrive before I leave. I guess I missed the sourdough. God bless the sourdough Baker’s
 
Sourdough is the best bread. Very jealous. How do you bake your bread on the road?
 
Thanks for your kind words, distant nomads. I wish I'd get some local to me takers!

POG, (which oddly stands for PlethoraOfGuns AND passion fruit orange guava juice) I have a lodge table and Dutch oven and plenty of experience baking bread this way in all kinds of weather. I still occasionally over "caramalize" a boule, but that happens infrequently now. I will ask Cammalu nicely if she will post a pic of my setup. I cannot do that from my phone.

And like magic, the photos are posted. Aren’t they beauties???
 
Oh nice! It's beautiful! I also travel with a dutch oven, but have only baked cookies and biscuits. Real sourdough is on operation for sure, that takes dedication!
 
I am dedicated to it because un-fermented wheat hurts my tummy. And I love bread. So sourdough is necessary!

Thank you for the pic, my magic friend.
 
That is really gorgeous bread, RAV.

I am an accomplished bread baker, but my Dutch Oven skills for bread are just so-so.

Sometime maybe we can camp together and you can teach me a few things.

One thing, my DO is not the deep kind, so I have to do some real gymnastics with the charcoal to get the bread done without burning the top.
 
Minestrone soup with Rav’s hot sourdough tonight!

Thanks for the kind words :)

It would be a whole new learning curve for me if I started using a not-deep dish dutch oven. I'd have to start by making smaller boules to keep them from hitting the lid. Then the learning how to keep the top from scortching -- that might take me a whole nuther year! I'm sure it's all about number and placement of coals, and I'm guessing it would use less coals than I currently use. But still, the thought is daunting!
 
My last bake here will be Friday, and that will be for us regular sourdough consumers :)
