Lightly oil or spray dutch oven. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk yogurt, egg, melted butter and 1 tsp. lemon peel until blended.

Add wet ingredients to flour mixture; stir until just moistened. Fold in blueberries.

In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients; whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm biscuits. 

*We are still figuring out how much heat to use, so I can't give an exact count on how many coals on top and bottom. We did about 10 on the bottom and 15 on top and checked it around 15 minutes.

Dutch Oven Pizza


Dutch Oven Pizza
Tube of pre-made pizza crust
Small jar of pizza sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cloves garlic, chopped
desired pizza toppings
----------
Split the pizza dough in half and spread between two dutch ovens. Because the ovens are round and the dough is square, stretch and prod to get it to cover the bottom of the dutch oven. 

Spread the pizza sauce over the dough and sprinkle the chopped garlic over the sauce.

Add pizza toppings as desired. 

Place the dutch oven on coals, place the lid on top and add more coals. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough looks done.

Sprinkle the cheeses over the pizza and then cook an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
