Camping with quartermaster units
FRESH BREAD FROM LUKOVICA
Those who think for a moment, based on the title of this article, that quartermaster soldiers in training centre in Svilajnac are trained to learn how to make miracles, such as making bread out of bulbs are actually wrong. Lukovica (onion bulb) is just a name of the proving ground situated in the village near Svilajnac, where camping is organised for each generation of quartermaster soldiers when their training approaches the end. However, although the cooks and bakers who wear the uniforms of the Serbian and Montenegrin Armed Forces do not make any miracles, what they are able to do is not very far from that.
On this warm May day, the whole tent colony sprung in no time. And as soon as the tents were raised, you could see the smoke coming out of one of them. In a mobile mechanised bakery, bread was baked in natural conditions. Sometime around noon, when the soldiers were dismissed from the proving ground and headed to get some food, the first loaves were done. The smell of bread spreading all around has "brought back the life" into weary faces of soldiers.
Isn't it a true miracle when a man discovers pleasure in simple and seemingly common things? And this actually happens when a soldier finds himself in line waiting for lunch after repeating the exercise hundreds of times. It is hard to imagine that a soldier would indulge in anything more at that moment than in the smell of freshly baked loaf of bread.
Soldiers who held loaves of freshly baked bread that day on the proving ground will surely remember how they witnessed a "miracle".

A full spatula of bread is taken out of the stove after bread has been baked for half an hour at 260 degrees.

If you must improvise, you can put bread to be baked in a barrel covered with dirt.

The stew is on the menu - while the bread is baked, lunch is almost done.
