Generously found and brought to our attention By Lady B and pulled from the Tavern...

Another recipe from "Tidings of the 18th Century" by Beth Gilgun.

Ship's Bread. I have yet to try this along with a lot of other recipes at events. But figured some of ye out there may fancy this particular recipe.

" Mix together 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Work in 1 teaspoon shortening and then add about 1/2 cup water. Beat the dough with a mallet until is about 1/2 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself into 6 layers. Beat it thin again and refold and beat it about 5 ot 6 times more. Before cutting into pieces, beat the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into squares about 2 inches across and bake for 30 minutes at about 325 degrees. Store tightly covered, but it may be taken on scouts in a fabric bag. "

I wish anyone luck with this recipe. :)

Nope, you have it correct, SutlerJon... it is hard tack. Ship's bread is another name for it.

Same taste, different name. :)
