Thepla
Thepla is an unleavened bread that needs a lot of work and a simple time-off kitchen but is worth the effort.
Paratha on any burner and a fire
When able to carry a bit more weight and not able to buy bread as regularly as you’d wish, this is a good option. Be aware, it is not a fast way of bread making

Baking bread in camp
Simple and more refined bread patties, in a frying pan (a pot will do too) or buried in a pile of burning embers.

It indeed is!
Het brood ziet er zooo lekker uit, ga ik zeker uitproberen. Merci voor de recepten💕
Hoi Monique, ga je het brood ook uitproberen? En op wat voor soort vuur? Een hobo stove, open vuur of Bushbox stove? Liefs Cinderella
Mmm, dat brood ziet er heerlijk uit. En mindfull eten is goed voor iedereen. Liefs uit Traaie.
Het ziet er niet alleen lekker uit, het is heeeeeeerlijk. Op dit moment bak ik donker brood en pumpkin brood. Dat ga ik ook mindful naar binnen werken 😂😉 Liefs x
Totally fascinating post! Something I would like to sink my teeth into too!
Thanks. Then you should bake some and let the teeth sink into it. But it taste best while in camp 😊
Kan alleen maar lekker zijn zo te zien! Proficiat dat je dit kan met zo weinig middelen. Dikke zoenen, Monique
Lieve Monique, het is een kwestie van oefenen en… I kraag ongeveer 3 kilo extra aan bak en vul producten extra. Dat is veel extra gewicht natuurlijk. Dat moet je willen als fietser over hoge passen en hobbelige paden.

Heb nogmaals de foto’s goed bekeken en het brood ziet er wel degelijk een voor een heel erg lekker uit!
Dank je lieve Monique. Ik ben het helemaal met je eens! Deze techniek maakt mij wel zeer afhankelijk want nu wil ik niets anders meer 😊 wanneer het regent of er geen droog hout is baal ik echt! Fried bread is ook goed, maar noooooit geen bakkerij of supermarkt brood wanneer het niet perse hoeft.

What’s the difference in outcome with yeast or baking powder (or baking soda)?
Hi Pius,
How are you? I hope well.
Good question and actually, none is necessary really. Unless you fry bread then I found yeast giving great results as the bread rises. With soda the dough doesn’t rise. I mix in yeast the evening before. With soda it won’t rise.
When using wood fire I found soda sufficient. I have not tried leaving both options out of it but as you might now, for making chapati alike bread none is used either.
So all options are possible except when wanting to frying fluffy breads: then yeast is necessary. And let the dough rest some hours.
Good luck.
Much regards.
Will write you personally as soon as I can 😊
I a enjoying your bread baking methods! I use an oven and my situation is no where as breathtakingly exciting as yours.
Hi there, you mean you are living in a house? I bake bread now in an oven too which allows me to be much more elaborate but nothing beats a fire in camp to prepare bread! And I hope this will soon occur again. Glad to read you enjoyed this post. Thank you for saying so.

I wish you a very happy ride!! In case you don’t know, breakfasts in Africa are delicious and wholesome, depending on where you are. I remember Guinea had full plates of spaghetti with an egg on top. Liberia has nice fish, to top anything off. Once you’re on a route with local travelers, food is delicious. Otherwise, bread á la Cindy comes in handy. Enjoy the preparations.
Sure 🙂
What about pinch the tent in anywhere, as I am into different travellers blogs and it seems as it is a must ask someone else local to pinch the tent at the village, and it is ok sometimes but I do prefer privacy every now and then but rather every now 🙂
A large turn to me would be being allowed to come to RDC across by road however it is today closer to science fiction owing to internal problems but indeed loose into congo rainforest must have been a wish to many included myself ,beside I am a pro -seaside rider as I grew closer the sea ( Bilbao) and I will love to melt at as many sunsets as I can .
Thank you Cindy
Hi,
I am like you when it comes to wanting privacy and camp on my own rather than asking permission, and thus having no privacy. But in Africa, it often has to be done by asking permission indeed. The village head will decide where to put you up.
You can of course, as I did and others do, I guess, find places just anywhere you like. Just make sure not to trespass or step on crops, to take all your rubble and not make fires or changes to the land. Well, I think this makes all sense.
Rain forests are often so dense that finding a place to pitch the tent is not easy. And, there are not that many rain forests anymore, but I don’t know about the RDC?
Cycling the coast line of Africa is often being not too near to the actual beach front or when one could place a tent. It’s not at all like the coast line of Chile or Peru for example.
