Baking Bread While the World Burns (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798319145130)

Baking Bread While the World Burns: A Crisis Bread Recipe Book for Two is a survivalist's guide to baking amid chaos, delivering 70 small-batch bread recipes for two people as the uncertainty of the 2025 Tariff War rages. With global markets reeling from U.S.-China trade tensions-tariffs on Chinese goods at 145% and China retaliating with 125% on U.S. imports-this book equips you for scarcity driven by economic turmoil. Using standard American measurements and cast iron cookware like skillets and Dutch ovens, it focuses on resource-light baking with recipes across four categories: Skillet Breads, No-Knead Breads, Flatbreads, and Quick Breads. From Basic Skillet Cornbread to No-Knead Raisin Bread, each recipe relies on pantry staples like flour, cornmeal, and dried fruits, with options like Apple Cinnamon Skillet Bread offering comfort through shelf-stable ingredients.

Tailored for crises, the recipes prioritize simplicity, requiring minimal fuel and ingredients while maximizing sustenance. Whether you're making a quick Potato Flatbread or a slow-rising No-Knead Apple Bread, the book ensures you can bake with dwindling supplies as trade wars disrupt global chains, driving up costs for essentials like flour and sugar. Crisis baking tips address these challenges, offering strategies for fuel conservation, substitutions (e.g., water and vinegar for buttermilk), and safe storage to stretch resources. As the Tariff War fuels recession fears and market volatility, this collection proves bread's enduring power to sustain and comfort, helping you find solace in baking while the world grapples with economic uncertainty.
