Yep, some salty dogs can't seem to lay off the Hard Tack, so here is a recipe that may give you that "Ship Biscuit" feel, but is much more on the edible side.  They will keep in a container for longer than a few days, hopefully you're not sailing on the same server that long.

​

Ingredients

• 4 cups all purpose flour

• 3/4 cup coconut water

• 1 ripe banana

• 1/8 tsp rapid rise yeast

• ¼ tsp salt

• Optional: 1 tbsp coconut oil, flaky salt or raw sugar

 

How to:

​

• Add the flour, salt and yeast to a mixing bowl in a stand mixer fitted with a dough attachment and mix well.

• Mash the banana and add to the flour and mix well.

• Set mixer to medium and add the coconut water, mix until a dough forms.

• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2-5 minutes until the dough is well formed, smooth and not sticky.

• Place in a bowl and cover. Let sit in warm place for one hour.

• Preheat oven to 400° F

• Roll the dough out to roughly a half inch thick.  Using a 3" round cutter, cut out biscuits.

• Place on greased or parchment paper covered cookie sheet. (optional) Brush with coconut oil and top with flaky salt for salty biscuits or sugar for sweet.

• Bake for 15-20 minutes based on your desired "tack"

• Remove from oven and let cool, enjoy with butter and jam or store for your next sail.
