The festive season is upon us – I can taste it! I’m all fired-up and inspired, ready to have a fine time. I’m busy putting together a must-have camping list that includes everything from a fly swatter and a can of Doom to an enormously wide-rimmed summer hat and a coolerbox-fridge combo. I’m all for convenience and would’ve loved to take my microwave with but my man reckons I’m being daft… and here I thought I was being precocious.
In my search for equipment and gadgets, I found this easy, peasy, cheesy recipe in the Go! magazine and I’m so going to give it a shot!
Easy Cheese and Beer Bread Recipe
Take this:
500 g self raising flour
a pinch of salt
a handful of grated cheese
1 x 340 ml beer
Do this
Take a sip of the beer you’re about to use – all ingredients need testing (an unwritten camping rule). Mix the flour, salt, cheese and beer into a soft dough.
Use this
Flat black potjie
Make like so
Grease the potjie and add the dough to it.
Fire it up
Place the potjie on the coals and add a 2 – 3 medium coals on the lid and a few coals around the side
Time it
Bake it for about 45 minutes – test and enjoy!
If you’re planning on making this before I get to do it, please send me a photo.

Im going to try this one at home, and use a bread tin instead. Should work…hey?
Yes, it should. But you’ll be losing out on the whole camping vibe though. As long as this is only a test run!
Yum, this looks divine! I’m so taking a packet of self-raising flour next time I go camping. The rest of the ingredients will be packed already anyway
If you want to get creative, add onion or sweetcorn as well. Sure it will work? Perhaps even feta? Yum…
Any way to do this without the beer, just incase while tasting I get a little too thirsty
Yup, I think you can replace it with buttermilk. But that’s for softies! Rather buy a few extra
Just looking at the pic make my mouth watery. I can’t imagine how would it taste during one one of my camping trips. I’ll take note of this easy camping recipe. thanks for this.
