Noah Project - Month 7 - Baking Supplies - Week 2

With the weather warming up, take the opportunity to use your dutch oven to bake biscuits or bread in a dutch oven.  This is an excellent opportunity to use your Quick Mix recipe for scones or biscuits.  Make enought dough for about 16 or so biscuits in a 12 inch oven(usually a double recipe) or use the scone recipe and double the amount. This size oven is good for biscuits and scones.  Each biscuit must be rolled in oil (that's what makes them brown), so add enough oil to your oven to very lightly coat each one as you add them to the oven. Don't worry about their being round. It won't matter. Just crowd them to use up your dough. Now we are ready to add heat. I'm usually in a hurry, so I start with 8 charcoals on the bottom and 12 or so on top. When the biscuits have raised and begin to look like biscuits, reduce the heat on the bottom by two charcoals and cook until the sides begin to pull away from the side of the oven. You will see, as they pull away, that they are also beginning to brown around the edges.  When this happens, remove the bottom heat and continue to cook on top until they are as brown and crusty on top as you like them to be . The biscuits will take about 30 minutes.
