Could be just my ignorance ... but I would not have thought you could do it.

AFAIK, the usual bread-cooking implements include some kind of oven (at ambient pressure) - either the traditional gas-fired one or some kind of Dutch Oven on the stove-top.

I thought so too, except a local in Vanuatu brought some to our boat one day wanting to trade for some of my home brew. Was a good trade...

You will need:

Presure cooker
A small pot or a metal plate which fits inside your cooker.
A metal rack that will keep the pot or plate approx. 1 inches above the bottom of the cooker.

Prepeare the dough with the yeast, put it int the pot, make sure it has enough time to rise, hen cook.

Hartley,

I havn't gone through the links as yet but I do know it is most assuredly possible to do.

My guess is that one would need to find a few tips and tricks re getting a good consistent quality.

I'm hoping we'll have pressure cooker onboard the Womboat very soon now. Bread is going to be one of the first projects.

TD, it does indeed seem like it can be done in a fashion and the link in Mobius's post gives a good overview....but the soggy, sorry-looking clump of stuff that comes out at the end ain't bread as I know it!

I like my crusts crunchy!!
