Granted, but plywood is also tasty if you soak it in bacon grease long enough, and has much more fiber |

I let mine air dry for a couple of days then put them in baggies for storage about two weeks ago. Yesterday, they were covered in mold.

Let them sit and dry for at least TWO WEEKS. Two days is not enought time.Make sure ALL themoisture is out of them and they will last quite a while. |

I simpy go to the store to buy mine.
I grew up on this stuff, being from Newfoundland.
You can buy the hardtack sold as "Hard Bread". It is still a Newfoundland staple, served with fresh or salted fish.
For those that do not have the powerhouse jaws to bite into it, you can also purchase "Sweet Bread". Same thing, a little softer and a lot sweeter.
I used to get such a bad stomach from this as a child. I don't know if I liked the taste or the challenge, but I used to eat so much of it...

Before the Ferry system and improved shipping came to south east Alaska we used to go to the store for bread and if the boat didn't make it or the bread got too moldy to sell you would find boxes of pilot bread on the bread shelves of the market. It's really good with smoked salmon. Dip it in the fish oil and it softens up. It's kind of a cross between hard tack and salteen crackers also keeps well.
In the dairy case there would be boxes of powdered milk.

A good idea and not just for hardtack, would be to invest in one of those vacuum sealers. Prices have dropped. I remember seeing one advertised somewhere that was manual and used resealable bags. |
