Using baking soda as a raising agent is a good option to create easy bread while camping. This herb and garlic quick bread is cooked in a Dutch oven, and couldn’t be easier to make. It is a great side dish, served alongside soups, stews, or any barbecue meats.
The trick for a good-textured quick bread is to not overwork the dough. This means no kneading and only a minimal amount of stirring to combine the mixture. Work with a light hand, to achieve a light-textured bread.
