This combination creates a large loaf and she made it as directed on the package. E 'formed the dough into a loaf and put the dough in a greased nine-inch metal baking pan. Then place on top of small rocks in the bottom of her twelve o'clock pan-inch Dutch oven. He put the lid on Dutch oven and the oven for ten charcoal briquettes. Another fourteen briquettes went up.
