Boondocking-wise, bread/etc is a problem, so during my too-condensed planning phase, I researched homemade tortillas, on the theory that I could make small batches "just in time". 
In general, flatbreads are ideal for this, with most comprised of very few ingredients, and they're pan-fry-able. Tortillas are particularly simple (flour & oil & water) for beginners like me.
Eventually, my goal is to try Naan, and English Muffins!
In late May, while in temp housing, I made two separate mini batches, and they worked out ok. I still need to build my skill, and experiment more. I barely kneaded them and probably should have made them flatter.
After mixing & rolling into two small balls:

After flattening & cooking (with soda can for scale, and my butane stove):

Next, I made bacon and eggs:

Everything together:

Tastee!
I weighed my butane canister before & after, and it took 6.7 grams to fry the two tortillas (bacon&eggs took 3.6 g), so the tortillas cooking cost was about five cents.
After I get a/the van, and build some skills, I'll update with more pics & detailed costs.
P.S. One of my favorite shows on PBS is "The Great British Baking Show".
Jim's awesome solar oven posts give me hope that I can continue my fumbling baking education.
