Successful baking in a Dutch Oven is an amazing skill to have. I can make a fair loaf of bread and I recently added biscuits to the mix but what I found on The Texas Iron Chef was pretty humbling to say the least!
Baking pie, cake, or bread in a camp Dutch oven over charcoal is tricky for many different reasons, especially temperature control. Nothing is more discouraging than burning food! Another challenge is to remove our baked goods from the Dutch oven without it falling apart. In this post, I will describe how we prepared our 12″ camp Dutch and how we cool it down so that we can successfully remove a pie or cake to serve it to our friends and family.

It is pretty cool to see all those pies cooking, all in a row at the National DOG. I bet you can’t see that anywhere else in the world. I have not tried any real baking in my dutch ovens but now that I know the trick for removing a pie or other similar baked goods, I will definitely give it a try.
Now, what pie to bake…. 🙂 It’s a good problem to have.
Thanks,

I have done cornbread, pineapple upside down cake as well as regular cakes and different cobblers with good results. Biscuits I am running about 80%. I would defiantly like to try pies and real bread
