Hippies will lie about using processed bread flour.

All my experience, and i am no baker, is that you generally use twice the refined bread flour to the unrefined flour,and then there are oven tricks involved to get it just right.

i can do yeast rolls and a few other things but am no baker

Use a chuck roast cook low and slow.

Trust me here, spice it hard, simmer and drain

Next, when well dried and shredded, dry it more...
make it into jerky.
this is what caballeros did on the trail as it did not require refrigeration.

In the Am grab a few freshly laid eggs, crack them in a bowl, throw in a handful of the meat, some finely diced onion and chile whisk and scramble.

roll this ‘machaca’ into tortillas and enjoy.

The meat will stay in the freezer for months and reconstitutes in the egg in minutes

After reading your comment I checked the label on my little mesh bag of fresh garlic: product of China :-(. I’ll find plenty at the farmers market this summer, but will need a plan for winter. Can it be strung up and hung from the ceiling? The unfinished part of our basement is pretty dry.

They have a new model out, so this one is down to about $75.

You can grow it easy in a cool climate and yes you braid it and store in a cool place

Down here I am braiding Peppers and air drying in heat, bit more of a pain in the eye.

God meant for garlic to be braided and hung

Sam Houston said bring yer own string.

Well, I’ve done it both ways. But my own little arms and hands made completely WW bread back-in-the-day; I used a recipe from the Laurel’s Kitchen cookbook; and it was like the hippie bread. I think I’ve even made it in my Breadman; but that’s asking too much of the poor machine, and I only did it a couple of times.

Doing it by hand is asking too much of me, too: I’m a lot older, now :-)

As I said, the texture is completely different.

I left a huge garden behind when we moved last year-I’m starting to really miss it. Spring has me itching to grow food. We are trying to find little sunny patches in our small yard.
