You can make a lot of bread with a regular ol skillet. If you like prepackaged stuff:

All you need is a skillet or frying pan....Fryin' Pan Bread, Fryin' Pan Biscuits and Gravy...really good stuff.

Kinda pricey for some ($3.25 -- $5.25) but easy and delicious.

BWCA Double Bottomed Biscuits
     
1/2 cup Bisquick (actually, I like Jiffy Mix Brand better)
1 Tablespoon Powder Milk
1/3 cup water
Oil
     
This is the amount for one BIG biscuit.  Multiply according to the number of biscuits wanted.

At Home: Mix Bisquick and Milk together and store in plastic bag.  Mark the amount of water to be added on the bag. 

In Camp: Mix Bisquick and water together.  Make one large biscuit.  Plop it into a well oiled frying pan.  Cook with a cover in place over medium heat.  Flip when it is done on one side. Cook until the other side is done (covered).  This works great!  It is like a double bottomed biscuit! And no special baking gizmos needed!
     

Fry Pan Flat Bread

1 cup flour
1/3 cup water
1 Tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of baking soda
     
At Home:  Combine the dry ingredients and put in a baggie.  Put shortening in a separate baggie.
     
At Camp: Combine all ingredients and form into a dough. Roll out to a thin, 10” circle. Prick the surface of the dough with a fork and cook on an oiled hot fry pan. Turn with a spatula. Watch closely because it cooks fast.

The search feature should reveal my bannock recipe along with a few hundred others.

i've used the Cache lk fry pan breads as well and there great but a bit pricey?
i've also done versions of the Bannock recipies and there great as well!!
i didn't see this mentioned so i'll add it to the mix.(no pun intended !!
this is a Cliff Jacobson special and worked out really well for me.
i prepared it my Peak 1, but you could use campfire if you cook that way??

You take two pots, one will nestle in the other. You put some small round pebbles in the larger one(i use small piece of steel tubing bent in V) which the smaller pot will rest on.
i used Betty Crocker water only bisquit mix(3 cheese or honey bisquit is my favorite).
mix according to pkg, but use just a little less water than called for.
Pour into smaller pot and then set in larger one on the stones.
Set on stove or fire grate and put lid on and in 10-15 minutes you have some "bread".
On peak 1, i use just little more than simmer and on fire?, you would have to approximate.
the only consideration is that on Peak 1, you have to use heavy enough pot's tthat you don't burn a hole in the larger pot??
i have lightweight non-stick pots, and use a diffuser plate and so far i haven't had a problem?? i think they mean the real cheap aluminum pots that you see for next to nothing in camping stores??
Anyway, it's fast and easy, doesn't require new gear and the results are probably similar to Bake-Packer or Outback oven??

Hushpuppies are easy and something we always enjoy.  Just another "bread" option.

I have used these as well. They are good and easy to make. The only problem (I stopped using them) is that they are LOADED with trans fats (patially hydrogenated oil). I have a family history of heart/stroke problems (no problems personally as of yet--knock on wood) so I have been advised to avoid anything with trans fats. Had to give them up----the home made ones are better for ya if that is something you need to watch.

I'f been using the Bisquik pre-made mix the last couple of years and while it may not be healthiest, it's easy and makes a nice side, or in my case with some fish, a meal.
i've tried all and the one you mentioned as well as the 3-cheese and honey one's are quite good.
i "baked" them using the one pot inside another pot method but since reading this thread i've experimented as well??
i tried making one big "fry bread" and found if you put some oil(i use olive) in a pan add batter and THEN turn on low heat with lid slightly ajar, in about 4-5 minutes it will have risen and be ready to flip. a couple more minutes and when my knife pulls "clean" then it's ready to eat .
while my health is very important to me, in the REAL world, i eat no trans fats or simple carbs, so the few meals i eat on trip isn't a concern.
the convenience is more important to me as traveling solo, i don't want to spend to much time making a meal, unless it's a lay-over day.

Bisquick powered milk and water, and whatever to add flavor.
On the stove, pot in a pot,
