Start with 4 cups all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Add a pretty good dab of baking powder and some salt, mixing with hands.

Add half a can of canned milk and mix it in.

Add the other half of the can of canned milk and mix again.

Add about a third of another can of milk and continue mixing until a dense dough forms that doesn't stick to fingers.

If dough is too sticky, add more flour gradually.

Dump the dough onto a floured surface and flatten it out.

Scatter 8-10 slices of thick cut bacon and 1 chopped yellow onion over the dough.

Roll the dough over the bacon and onion, kneading to incorporate them throughout the dough.

Shape the dough into a loaf about an inch and a quarter thick.

Wrap the dough in foil if cooking in a camp oven, or place it directly in hot ashes.
