Outdoor Boys Series: Flatbread with Honey Butter Recipe

Updated: Jun 16


A simple tribute to campfire cooking—warm bread, sweet butter, and all the comfort.


This one's for the Outdoor Boys. I’ve watched Luke Nichols cook everything from mango chicken curry to biscuits and gravy out in the wild, and there’s something really grounding about his style. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence, warmth, and feeding the soul.

There ain't nothing like warm bread with honey butter...


So I figured, why not pay tribute to that with a series of simple recipes inspired by that same spirit?


There’s something incredibly peaceful about those scenes: the crackle of the fire, the smell of bread cooking in a pan, and Luke casually whipping up honey butter like it’s second nature. One moment that stuck with me? When he served warm bread with honey butter—sometimes with Spam, sometimes bacon. I thought... why not both?

Jamie Oliver's easy flatbread...


So here’s my homage: a quick, no-yeast flatbread using Jamie Oliver’s method, served with a simple honey butter that melts right into the bread. The combo of sweet, salty, and buttery is just magical.

Whether you go with Spam, bacon, or both, it hits all the right notes—crispy, soft, rich, and comforting. It’s the kind of food that makes you pause and just enjoy the moment.


You don’t need a campfire or a forest. Just a skillet, a bit of pantry magic, and maybe a quiet morning. This recipe is beginner-friendly, forgiving, and pure joy on a plate.
