Freshly baked bread on a camping trip is a delishious addition to any meal. You can serve it up as a fun “make yourself snack” for the kids, or you can bake a big bread in a dutch oven. In this post you will learn different ways to bake bread, on a campfire, while you are camping.
We really like to bake homemade bread when we go camping. On the 3rd or 4th day, the bread you brought from home can be stale. Baking over a campfire is not hard, once you have done it a few times. In this post I will tell you everything I have learned about it, and I am sure that you will be able to produce brilliant breads for your family next time you go camping.
One of the bigger obstacles for me when making bread on a camping trip is how to knead the bread without my favorite kitchen stand mixer. It is completely doable to make great bread if you start the night before, and use the dough recipe from the best crusty bread recipe. That is a no knead bread recipe that will work very well for this. If you want to make right now, you can use the simple bread roll recipe, and be happy that you get a work out along with freshly baked bread.

If Im baking bread on the campfire close to home, i usually bring a batch of dough from the simple bread roll recipe. That works really well, all ways of cooking over campfire.
One of the ways that I like to make bread is in a dutch oven. Here is a great dutch oven for camping if you dont have your own jet. I use half of the dough from the simple bread rolls recipe. Once the campfire is ready and have burned for a little while, leaving embers in the fire, you can bake bread.

Place your bread, on a trey inside your dutch oven. We raise this tray from the bottom of the dutch oven with 3 pieces of salt dough. Ensures that there is air circulating around the bread.
TIP: Its easy to get excited and add to many embers to the dutch oven – this will make it to hot, and burn the bread. Try and apply the embers evenly around the oven and keep a close eye on it. See full tips for Campfire cooking in a dutch oven here.
Bake the bread for about 20 minutes and keep an eye on it while it bakes. I ususlly check on the bread every 5 minutes, to make sure that add/remove embers where needed.

When its done, remove the dutch oven from the campfire, remove the bread from the dutch oven. Lightly knock on the bottom of the bread to ensure that it is baked through. If you hear a hollow sound, its good. Leave the bread to rest a little, if you can. – If not, serve it up, and enjoy.
Yes, you absolutely can. But like with anything you want to make sure that you keep your equipment as safe as possible. Its better for the dutch oven to heat up slower. Think about bringing it close to the fire, early when you light your fire, that way you can put it into the fire when the fire becomes big enough to bear a dutch oven. We usually use heat resistant gloves when handling the dutch oven in the fire.
You want to makre sure that you souround your bread with embers. I have found that you need to be careful with adding to much heat to the bread from under the dutch oven, and therefore I only have 2-3 embers there. I make sure that most of the heat comes in from the sides and from above.
Dutch Oven Bread {proofing Dough In The Instant Pot}
Usually when you cook bread in the dutch oven inside you want to turn up the heat as high as you can, but outside with elements that you cant control in the same way, I recommend that you take it slow. Enjoy the process of making slow bread. If you are in a hurry, its better to make the bread on a stick or bake them in smaller portions on a pan.
Honestly – the one you have. There is no need to go out and buy another dutch oven for just baking bread. When baking over fire, I would make sure that if you do get another dutch oven, it is a different size to the one you have, to make sure that you can stack your dutch ovens on top of each other.
This is a full post on its own. I would suggest bread on a stick or pan bread. I will make a full description of these. Freshly baked bread is one of the best things to wake up to in the morning. There isn’t much that can beat that fresh smell wafting through the kitchen. But did you know that with the help of a Dutch oven, you can bake delicious bread when you’re out camping, too?

Share on Pinterest Servings 1 Prep Time 15 minutes Cook Time 30 minutes Ingredients 3 ¼ cups of unbleached bread flour 1 packet of active dry yeast 1 tsp of salt 1 ½ cups of warm water Cooking oil Directions Start preparing campfire Dutch oven bread by measuring out flour, yeast, and salt into a mixing bowl. Combine the ingredients together, then start slowly pouring in warm water. As you pour in warm water, use your hands to mix the liquid into the dry ingredients. Keep pouring and mixing, and you’ll find that the dough starts to form. You need your dough to have an elastic texture, and if it’s too sticky, you can add more flour. If it’s too dry, you can pour in more warm water until you have the desired consistency. When you have an elastic dough, remove it from the mixing bowl and place it onto a firm, floured surface. Spend the next 10 minutes kneading your dough into shape. Clean out your mixing bowl, dry it off, then grease the sides lightly with oil. Leave your ball of dough in the mixing bowl and then leave it to rise. It should take at least an hour for the dough to rise properly. When it has risen, you can cover your mixing bowl, or you can wrap the dough in plastic wrap to stop it from drying out. While you wait for the dough to rise, make sure you’ve got your campfire going. You’ll need a pile of hot embers or coals to bake the bread in. You should not cook over open flames (after all, you don’t want to set your bread on fire!). You should preheat your Dutch oven for the best results, so leave it buried in the embers before you put your dough inside. You can also grease the interior sides of the oven with oil to stop the bread from sticking later on. You can leave your Dutch oven preheating for a half-hour, then line the inside with parchment paper. Place your ball of dough inside the Dutch oven, and give the dough a few cuts on top with a knife so the bread can breathe as it bakes. Close the lid, then place your campfire Dutch oven in the coals. Make sure it’s surrounded as evenly as possible with campfire coals, using tongs to place hot coals on top of the lid. Now, you just have to wait for your Dutch oven bread camping to bake. This part of the process can take up to 1 ½ hours, depending on how hot your coals are. For the best results, you should check the bread every quarter of an hour. It’s also good practice to rotate the bread inside the Dutch oven every 15 minutes. Keep adding extra coals from the fire when you need to keep the heat going. When your bread is cooked through (if you have a thermometer, it should be 200 degrees Fahrenheit), you can remove it from the Dutch oven and leave it to cool. Lastly, enjoy your fresh campfire bread!
