    OK, here it is. I picked this up from another list a long time ago and
    it works great! A flame tamer is a ceramic or metal plate used to even
    out the heat from a propane stove. If you have a heavy bottomed pressure
    cooker, you don't really need one.
    ____________________
    I had several people take me up on my offer to share the recipe my
    wife
    uses to provide us with fresh bread while cruising aboard our Hunter
    27. We
    do not have an oven but do have a propane stove.
    This works and tastes great although when the sent gets around a
    tight
    anchorage you may have to repel boarders.

    4 cups flour
    1 1/2 cups warm water
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 tablespoon sugar
    2 envelopes of dry yeast

    Dissolve yeast, sugar and salt in warm water. Add flour one cup at a
    time.
    when all flower is in start kneading with your hands until dough is
    elastic
    and no longer sticks to your hands. Cover bowl with towel and put in
    warm
    place for one hour. Dough should double in size. Punch down. Grease
    pressure cooker with solid shorting. Coat pot with corm meal (this
    acts as
    an insulating barrier so the bread cooks evenly). Place dough in
    cooker,
    rise again (about 45 min), place lid on pressure cooker LEAVE OFF
    STEAM
    VALVE.... Cook over low flame for 40 min. Use Flame Tamer so it
    doesn't burn
    then check sides and bottom for brownness. Top will not brown but you
    can
    flip the bread over and bake another 15-20 min.

    Have fun with this one.

    A Flame tamer is very important.
    We also use Pizza mix and bake pizza in a covered fry pan using VERY
    low
    flame and a flame tamer.
