HARDTACK RECIPE (SURVIVAL BREAD)

Bread Dad: This hardtack recipe is very easy to make. As you probably know, hardtack is a survival bread & historic settler food with an extremely long shelf life. If properly stored, hardtack can last for years. Hardtack has been used for centuries and was a historic mainstay for pioneers, settlers, sailors & soldiers when traveling on long journeys.

Hardtack is a very simple recipe and only requires flour, water and salt. It is also a cheap way to create long-term survival or camping supplies. It costs only pennies to make hardtack versus paying a fortune for MREs, freeze dried camping food, etc. Making hardtack is also a fun way to show your kids what pioneers & ancient soldiers/sailors had to eat as they traveled across the country or globe.

  1. I made some once and ate one with canned veg beef soup and it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Rather dumpling like. Better than plain soup alone if you need energy.

  2. When I was a kid, my mother made us homemade “play-doh” this way. Sometimes she added food coloring. We made sculptures. Then baked them. Yes, of course, they lasted for years. I cannot imagine eating the stuff.

    I think the Indians had a much more nutritious idea — pemmican.
