Most of the time, the recipes we see over and over again on Pinterest involve chocolate, cheese, or the colors of the rainbow. Usually, for a dish to receive a noteworthy number of pins, it has to have an element that makes it look delicious, nutritious, or even just beautiful. That's why we were a little surprised when we recently started to hear that a recipe for a pretty bland-looking bread is being pinned by tons of Pinterest users. The dish is called Survival Bread, and it can be made with just a few simple ingredients.
Country Living brought our attention to the wild popularity of Survival Bread. It suggests that many people are pinning the recipe because it's a useful one for campers and hikers. It's a handy recipe for people who like the great outdoors because it can very easily be thrown together and cooked over a fire. Plus the loaves are also considered nonperishable, and when stored in an airtight container, they can last over a year. Food & Wine also recently pointed out that the bread is popular among Pinterest users in Alaska, which makes sense seeing as they get some long and brutal winters up there.
