Simple Sailing Recipes

I wanted to share some of the recipes that I regularly use while out cruising. I can't claim them as my own but I have adapted some of them to suit us. Some of these recipes have been shared from other cruising families from a wide variety of countries. While baking these recipes I have been heeling heavily on the yacht and still managing to get a good result! If I can do it anyone can!! I hope you enjoy them.

Over night fridge bread

Ingredients
1 teaspoon of salt.
800ml of flour
2 tablespoons of dried yeast.
500ml tepid water

Method
Mix all ingredients together. Place in a greased baking tin. Place in the fridge.  The cooler your fridge the less amount of time needed in it. Once the mixture has risen place in a pre heated oven for approx. one hour. tip out of tin and place on a tray, place back in the oven upside down. cook for a further 10-15 minutes.

Is lovely eaten warm, eat within two days. The texture is quite moist with large air holes. This is quite popular with yachties as there is no kneading involved!!

​Our children love these. They can be cooked a little longer to make them quite crunchy.
