Dutch oven sweet Bread

[@margaretmorris9561]

The bread is beautiful! So fun to use the Dutch oven. May I suggest a probe thermometer. No guessing if the bread is cooked inside. Should be about 200F degrees 93C when done. I also use a cast iron trivet in my DO. Helps to keep the bottom of your loaf from getting too dark. Love your channel.

Thanks for the tip!

[@MsOaktree11]

Really helpful, thank you!

[@MsOaktree11]

Always helpful... I learned so much and appreciate the candid view of the baking experiment process, letting us walk through the trial and error with you VS. the perfectly edited wrapped up pretty version... the use of the parchment paper (brilliant), the tutorial with the charcoal starter and the use of the coals start to finish and seeing that method tweaked to get the desired result... how fun that you ended up with French toast (I was thinking bread pudding would've been yummy too! Thanks again as always, Wendy.... always a wealth, you, your spirit, and these sweet adventures...🙂

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Many thanks- I am glad this was helpful for you. I love baking in the dutch oven. It is like a mini adventure in itself.

[@triumfant2]

I love that you experiment, its adventurous, Harley is a beautiful pup, I love your cabin

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

I love to try new things. Yes, Harley is a wonderful old dog but we are sadly watching his decline. He is now 13 years 7 monthes which is quite elderly for a large lab. We cherish each day we have him now, thank you.

I have a lot of bread baking experience with my Dutch oven in the the house but never over a fire. I’ll have to get their cookbook and try it. Thanks!

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

lots of fun but also lots of work- great for a day when you have nothing else to do!

[@cathymitchell7369]

I’m looking to buy this type of Dutch oven before we start camping this summer :) you really encourage me. Sometimes we have lots of teen nephews to feed and they would LOVE this!

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Have fun! Yes, it is fun and you can make a great pot of chilli or whatever. I really need smaller one for the two of us, however it great for bread etc to have a bigger one. I have a couple of cake recipes to try . Teens would love that.

[@cathymitchell7369]

@@wendyoutdoors2230 it really helps to see the specifics of how you do it :) And I love to hear your husband in the background! He makes camping and carpentry noises like my husband ;)

My dad made one of them back in the 50s but wouldn't go for the patent. Mom was disappointed. It works great.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

your dad was very clever to do that!

What a super job….love learning right along with you Wendy

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Thanks so much 😊

Wow, beautiful cabin.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

thanks very much Stella - small but cute and dry!!!

[@truckerfromreno]

Brilliant stuff.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Thanks very much.

[@kimprocarione5473]

How fun! Experiments are awesome. I think you're spot on about leaving it in the Dutch oven as it cools. French toast with it sounds amazing! The cabin is a perfect size, I think. And, Harley looks amazing for 12 1/2! Sweet boy 🐾♥️🐾

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Totally! thank you Kim

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Great job, Wendy! I’m going to try this the next time I camp. That bread looked delicious 🩷

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

All seems like a gamble to me but sometimes it works- The fun is in the trying!

[@ramonapuckett3059]

The bread looked delicious, love your cabin and Harley is a good looking dog! 🩷

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Thanks so much, sadly Harley has passed over the rainbow to dog heaven but what a wonderful fellow he was. always in our hearts.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Sure looked like good bread. Beautiful cabin

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Thanks very much

[@destinysisco3142]

I love learning to use that dutch oven on an outdoor fire right along with you! I know that i can't check the bread i bake in the oven every 10 minutes because i lose too much heat interrupting the baking momentum. New sub.❤

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

thanks Destiny- It is very hard not to peek though!

[@markcummings6856]

Gorgeous cabin, beautiful dog, awesome bread, excellent video. Thanks.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

The dog is the best part! He’s 13 and still going ,but slowly

[@raelenecronin1827]

I'm really enjoying watching you videos. Thank you! Love dogs.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Glad you like them! our dear old Harley now prefers to stay at home but he has come along on many adventures.

[@sunshinepie566]

Very cute cabin. Why did you choose not to have a kitchen and bathroom? Using your van for that?

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

the cabin is water access only or hike in so no van. There is no running water, only a lake, so no bathroom, just an outhouse. As for the kitchen, the cabin had to be small for a number of reasons so a dry place to sleep was the priority. We don't use the cabin in the winter months much at all so cooking outside is almost always possible. Plus it is fun to cook outside. so hope that answered your questions. Thanks for sending them in.

[@judyduncan1323]

Looks very tasty and you are such an adventurous baker!

[@believeliveloveandlaugh3844]

Beautiful cabin!

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

thank you. we are most fortunate to have it to go to.

How does the bread 🍞 look? AWESOME!!! 👍😎🇨🇦

Great!

[@willisblevins4190]

Nice show thanks

[@ArleneKorth]

Lovely little get away spot! Better because of all the sweat equity you have invested.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Yes, that does make a difference- you can enjoy the fruits of your labour,

[@restlessrunt]

Dutch oven temperature is slightly affected by air temperature, wind & humidity. You did just right by adjusting the time and moving coals around. Always remember that ash is an insulator - you can knock some of the ash covering off the briquettes & blow the ashes away a bit to increase heat.You are also correct that things continue to cook if you leave them in the Dutch oven off of the coals.Sometimes you want continued baking and sometimes you don't (particularly meat) 😊 Anytime you can make on your range or oven at home you can make in DO - Been using mine for 20 years and would not be without it.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Thanks so much. You sound like a very experienced dutch oven cook. I had not thought abut blowing off the coals. . all these hints are very helpful-

[@restlessrunt]

We have the 10" DO you mentioned wanting. Perfect size for a couple & 6 lbs lighter.

[@restlessrunt]

P.S I have shared your channel with all my 70-year-old friends, pointing out how youthfully you move - you step out and have the range of motion of someone 40 years younger! We gals have to fight the tide of time trying to beach us - aging is natural - atrophying is not. You keep doing what you're doing-you inspire us all 😊

[@nikkilesley2525]

My husband asked if you were going to give any to us, if you have enough to share? 😂.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

I would love to Nikki- I love cooking outdoors and trying to bake in the dutch oven. Sometimes it is great , other times , not so. but still fun.

Yes. a great idea. thanks

Yum, I need to go find my dutch oven and give it a good cleaning.

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

I really like baking on the fire and the dutch oven is the right tool for it.
