Homemade Hard Bread - Traditional Newfoundland

By July 16, 2017

Hard Bread also called Hard Tack.

Hi and welcome to our website!

Hard bread is a small hard biscuits used by sailors when out to sea, because of its long shelf life this would replace homemade bread.

Then it continued on through generations for people to use in fish and brewis and with any wild game meat.

I will share a couple of links to recipes you would use hard bread in.

Ingredients

Instructions

2. Then knead everything together and flatten to about a 1.5 inch thickness.

3. Cut into squares, then poke six little holes in the top.

4. Place on a greased cookie pan or line with parchment paper.

5. Bake in a 425°f oven for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on your oven or until golden brown and the dough becomes hard.

6. When it is prepared properly it will look, feel and taste exactly like regular hard bread. Store hard bread in a bag and in a dry cupboard for two weeks, you can also store it in the fridge for a month or freezer until all is gone.

When ready to use hard bread soak overnight in cold water, then follow the recipe for Fish and Brewis. It makes around 12 blocks of hard bread.

Homemade Hard Bread made from three simple ingredients.

These small biscuits are available in stores sold by purity and have been enjoyed by many people, they are not only used for cooking with fish, moose and wild game. They are good by itself warmed with butter and sugar over them and a nice cup of tea or even pudding’s.

They are not a lot of work to make. But for the 10% of people that don’t have access to these small biscuits you will be so glad to have this recipe.

After they are baked let them cool down and then store them in a plastic bag or a paper bag in your cupboard for two week’s or freeze then until they are all gone.
