HARDTACK
5 cups flour (unbleached)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon salt
1-1 1/4 cups water
Preheated oven to 450. In a bowl, combine the ingredients to form
a stiff, but not dry dough. The dough should be pliable, but not
stick a lot to your hands. Take this mound of dough, and flatten
it out onto a greased cookie sheet and roll the dough into a flat
sheet approx. 1/2 inch thick.
Using a bread knife, divide the dough into 3x3 squares. Taking a
10-penny nail, put a 3x3 matrix of holes into the surface of the
dough, all the way through, at even intervals.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Take
out and let cool. Do this the day before your go on the field, and
your will have enough tack to fill your haversack. It will be
somewhat soft on Saturday morning, but, by Sunday, you should soak
it in your coffee before eating, else you will have a hard time
chewing.
