First trip

[RHYBAK]

Our bread last week.

The good rye bread I bring from home started going moldy by Wednesday.
The ciabatta buns from Costco...Wednesday.
Hot dog Buns from Costco lasted all week.

I would have frozen our bread until needed if I had the freezer space but as I took meat out I had to put fish in.

if you want to make sure there is no moldiness use 4-plus cups flour, a cup milk, a package of yeast, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup butter, plus a big splash of white sugar and salt and an egg.  Beat till it’s neat and kneed while drinking mead.  Make 16 or so rectangles, let them rise for a bit and bake at 400 for 10 or so minutes and enjoy the yumminess.  The best part is all those ingredients are usually already in the cabin from past guest!

I'll look forward to you making those for us this year Marco!

I don't ever recall the bread getting moldy mid-week. At $4.00 CDN per loaf in North Bay, it should last about 3-weeks.

I have eyed up the breads in the IGA store. They look amazing. But wondering about any experiences you guys may have for that fresh bread keeping a week or maybe you don't have to worry about it. The reason I ask is that we went on a fly in once and the other couple bought bread from their favorite deli, but it got green after about 4 days.

Nancy, we have always kept our bread frozen, especially the dark rye we get directly from the bakery. We've even made this work when all we had was the freezer compartment of a propane frig - read small. However, all our meats and breads are frozen before we leave home and they are kept in a large Coleman Extreme 6 cooler with a couple of blocks of ice. Recently, things improved when one outfitter installed a generator and a chest freezer and the other outfitter installed a second propane frig. Another alternative is dry ice.
