Bread making in a pressure cooker (wouldn't be without one on a boat....good for boiling, steaming, roasting, soups, stews, etc.)
Mix bread dough as you normally do. when ready to cook set empty pressure cooker on ring to heat, med/high, and set the trivet in upside down, NO WATER!
Take a round cake tin (hopefullly you have found one that justt sits inside the p.c.) and grease, put raised dough inside, slide tin into cooker when cooker hot. remove rubber seal from lid and place lid on top of cooker, semi-locking. Leave on med/high heat (guess-work and practice make perfect) and cook for required time, checking occasionally. When done, remove cooker from heat and take off lid, leave to cool 10/15 mins. turn out bread. Slather with butter and eat entire loaf!
It's a kind of Dutch oven (no, not the under the bedclothes thing......)
NOTE: in and around Caribbean islands, 'proper' bread flour is hard to find.......take a good supply whenever you find it! Usually here beetles come free gratis with every pack, but just sieve them out, no harm. keeping flour refrigerated helps, if you have refrigeration and space.

There are a few old salts in these parts that swear that freezing your flour (and all your other dry provisions) kills the weevil eggs. When I stocked up my boat, my friendly local supermarket did me the favour and froze everything to -30° for 48 hours. Once thawed, it all got recanted into plastic 2 litre coke bottles, because they're waterproof and UV protected. I have a total of about 50 bottles stashed all over the boat.
The bottles are washed in a solution of Miltons and then left in the sun for two days too dry.
