Just recently got interested in Morgan Bread. Saw the recipe Fiddler posted recently and am now looking for variations that some of you may have come up with. What is in it that makes it so trail worthy? Sounds like something good to have with rehydrated yams.
Here is the recipe Fiddler gave, Thanks Fiddler
Logan bread:
My first encounter with Logan Bread, was on a AT section hike, on my 6th day out, I still had about 5 miles to go before camp at cold water spring shelter, & I was “out of gas”, I had a granola bar but it did not help. Some of my new friends came along & decided to have a snack with me, they offered a 2” x 2” x 3” or so chunk of this wonderful bread, within minutes I was ready for the trail, & still had plenty of energy left at the end of the day. Here is the recipe they gave me:
Ingredients: 4 cups water, 16 cups whole wheat flour, 1½ cup melted shortening, 1½ cup honey, 1½ cup sugar, 2 cups black strap molasses, 1½ cup whole dry milk, 1 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. baking powder.
Instructions: Add all ingredients to water, mix thoroughly. Put into muffin tins, bake at 300º for 1 hr. Makes about 60, muffin sized bricks. Variations; add 1 cup applesauce & 1 heaping tsp. ground nutmeg, and/or, 1 cup each; chopped dried fruit & nuts.
In camp or on the trail: eat as is or topped with peanut butter. Or Slice & warm slightly on your fry pan & drizzle a bit of squeeze Parkayâ or honey (or both) on top & Oh Momma!!!.
