Bread has been a classic sustenance for survival in many cultures since ancient times. The Bible has many references to the bread – which according to the Book of Ezekiel was made in those times from wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and fitches. This classic and common food is often overlooked by preppers and off-grid enthusiasts due to its short shelf life. However, there are bread recipes that will make survival more bearable. Before we discuss them, let’s take a look at the factors that influence the shelf life of bread as well as ways for extending the shelf life of the baked item without the use of preservatives.


The #1 factor that makes bread go bad is mold. Organic bread is more prone to spoilage due to lack of preservatives. Here are the factors that expose your bread to the development of certain fungi or molds which can be dangerous to eat.

• Temperature

Most molds grow faster at warmer temperatures, so bread will only last a few days unless frozen.

• Exposure To Mold

Mold spores in the air or on people’s hands could cause the development of mold. To delay mold growth, keep the bread in an airtight container and wash hands before handling.

• Moisture


Mold thrives in a moist environment, so bread could grow mold sooner if it is exposed to high moisture content. To deal with moisture, bread should be cooled and dried out at room temperature before being placed in a container.

• Ingredients

The growth of mold is supported by ingredients such as eggs, milk and sugar, which create a welcoming environment for fungus. And bread that was made using these ingredients is not a long-term storage item. It should be eaten within a few days or frozen until needed (even so, bread has only up to around 3 months shelf life in the freezer, depending on the type of bread).

• Preparation Style

Over-mixing or kneading exposes the bread to more oxygen, and plentiful oxygen encourages mold growth. For survival breads, mixing and kneading should only be done as far as necessary. If you want bread recipes that last up to 2.5 years and beyond, matzo bread and hardtack are the clear winners. These types of bread can fulfill bread’s basic function as a survival food. Here’s how they are made:

Basic Hardtack Bread


Ingredients

• 5 cups of flour
• 2 cups of water
• 3 teaspoons of salt

Procedure:

First mix flour and salt in a bowl. Then add water gradually, just enough that the mixture will bind together. Mix by hand. The dough should be sufficiently dry that it does not stick to hands, rolling pin or pan. Then, roll the dough to about half-inch thickness and cut the dough into 3-by-3 inch squares.

Create a pattern of four rows of four holes into the squares with a sharp object. These should just be indentations – don’t punch right through to the other side. Turn the dough over and repeat this, making indentations in the other side.

Bake the dough on an ungreased cookie sheet or baking sheet for thirty minutes for the one side. Turn the dough pieces and bake for another 30 minutes. Wait until the sides are slightly brown.

When done, let the hardtack dry for a few days in a warm, dry open space. An airing cupboard might be ideal. The bread will harden considerably as it dries, reaching consistency that seems more like brick than a bread or biscuit. 🙂 Store the fully-dried hardtack in an airtight container.

Damp is the enemy of long term storage of hard tack. The more dry the hard tack, the longer its shelf life. In the old days it was kiln dried for hours and was even known to last up to 50 years!

You can fry the bread in a buttered skillet after soaking it in milk or water. This bread, used as a staple in ancient times on long sea voyages, is perfect when eaten with cheese, soup, or even just plain salt.

Basic Matzo Bread Recipe

This unleavened bread is a kosher food for Passover. You can enjoy this crisp, flatbread in just under thirty minutes. This savory snack sustained the Israelites across their travels and wanderings during Biblical times. It has a shelf life of 2.5 years when stored in a dry place.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 3 cups of water
• ½ teaspoon of kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil

Procedures

Mix all ingredients and knead the mixture until firm dough forms. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Then, roll each ball into a thick disk. Pierce each disk with a fork on each side to prevent the dough from rising. Repeat the previous procedures with the rest of the dough. Place the pieces of bread onto the baking sheet. It’s okay if the bread overlaps on the pan. Bake for two minutes and carefully flip over the bread, and bake for an additional 2 minutes until the matzos are lightly browned and crisp.

For kosher matzos, wafers should be finished within 18 minutes of adding water to the flour.


This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Lost Ways Of Survival Video

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
