A damper is an Austrian bread type that as far as I know has its origin in the colony area. It is a very quick bread. You just throw the ingredients together and then bake it right away. It can very easily be baked in a frying pan over a campfire.

Pizza

Pizza dough

A simple pizza dough recipe, that seem to work. Baking it on a pizza stone makes for better pizzas if you are just baking one, but I find it hard to get to work if I need more than one pizza baked – and this recipe yields two.

Leve

Leve is a viking flatbread made out of a mix of flour and liquid. You can use any combination of flour you want, but I suggest that you use at least some wheat flour. You can bake them in the ashes from  campfire, on a stone, in a primitive or modern oven or as I normally do in a dry frying pan either over the fire or on the stove top. They were a staple of the viking meals.

Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 5 people

Ingredients

  • 600 milliliters wheat flour (I use half spelt half regular wheat flour)
  • 150 milliliters rye flour
  • 150 milliliters barley flour you might need to visit a health store or you can use spelt or another old flour type
  • 450 milliliters liquid (water buttermilk or whey)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Optional seeds or cooked grains

Instructions

  1. Knead all the ingredients together – you might need a bit more water or flour to make it into a good dough. The dough should not be wet.
  2. Roll them into flat breads about the size of a small dessert plate.
  3. Bake the breads and flip the a few times while baking. They need to bake for about 10 minutes. If you bake them in an oven they will raise a little bit while they stay flat in the frying pan. Both taste really nice.
