Bread on a skillet
I know, it’s an odd name for a loaf of bread. So there’s a backstory to it. Since I have these lovely Facebook friends who follow my culinary adventures—Bob and Laura—well, Bob, who has a wicked sense of humor, dubbed me his foodie mistress’ early on! Today, Bob and Laura, like my husband and me, have common outdoor activities, one of which is camping. So they messaged me and asked if I could make a chocolate banana buttermilk bread for them that they could bake in a skillet over a campfire or on a camp stove.

They’ve been using a pre-packaged camping edition, but I figured I might make something similar where you can control/adjust the ingredient numbers. I went to work, eager for a challenge for making camping dutch oven garlic chicken.

Ingredients
Instructions
When ready to ‘bake’ combine the warm water into the dry ingredients and blend well. The batter's the consistency of a thick cake batter.
Coat the inside/sides of the cast iron skillet well with the shortening. In the bottom of the skillet place a round piece of parchment paper.
Dump the batter into the skillet, cover, with a lid and let it rise in a draft-free, warm place for 20-25 minutes.
Cook on low on a camp stove or camp fire (raise the grill from the hot embers) for 25 to 30 minutes. (If you want to the top ‘browned’, give it a quick coat of cooking spray and then take a flexible metal spatula or two and gently flip (yes, this can be tricky) to the other side and cook about 2 minutes. (You may need to increase the heat just slightly to get a ‘golden browning’ effect on the top.)
(Note: If you’re baking at home, you can ‘bake’ on medium low to low on the stovetop or bake in a 350 preheated oven until a toothpick comes clean from the center.)
Let it cool a few minutes then pull off ‘hunks’ or slice—whatever rocks your boat!
