When we sailed around the world I made yeast bread in every ocean. The rising, kneading, baking and time involved all added up.
This summer sailing in Alaska I discovered my yeast was out of date. Reminder- check dates before setting sail!
This however turned out to be a great reason to experiment. This new discovery had the full crew pretty happen after weeks with no bread for sandwiches.
My adaptation- Katlian Bay Bread.
4 cups flour
2Tablespoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons salt
3 packages Splenda, or sweetener of choice
1 can plus 4 oz of beer, I use O'Douls
Mix all dry ingredients well, add beer mixing so all dry ingredients are well wet.
Bake in large bread pan being sure to spread mixture evenly.
****In my oven, bake 40 minutes turning pan every 10 minutes, after 20 minutes move pan to opposite side of oven.
This makes a heavy bread with a great taste. I'm very pleased with the results and only wish I had made this bread in each ocean around the world.
Enjoy!
