    Dried milk and powdered eggs. Why not pack it over to the Introductions section and tells us a bit about yourself?

    Or make some hard tack. There's a recipe on here for it. Or Navajo Fry Bread that's all dry ingredients, too.

    You know Pilot Bread isn't easily found in the lower 48. It's standard issue in AK, but rare down here in Montana

    Self rising flour isn't a substitute for yeast. It simply has baking powder and baking soda added in. I forget the exact measurments, but if you have all purpose flour you can make self-rising by adding those two ingredients. There's also different gluten levels to the flour, so while the recipe may call for self-rising and you make it with all purpose, don't expect it to have the same texture, and cake flour will definitley **** it up. Bread flour is the best to buy if you are going to be making bread with it, but all purpose is a good all around flour to stock. Bread flour also goes rancid faster. But there are tons of baking sites that can provide you a discourse on the different flour types, their uses, and shelf life.
