In this video, Maggie and I head out to the woods to do a spot of campfire cooking.
After collecting firewood and lighting a fire to get a good bed of embers, I make a simple bread dough. After needing and proving the dough, I bake the loaf over the fire in my Dutch oven. To go with the loaf, I then pan fry some delicious smoked Halloumi cheese, wrapped in bacon delicious!

Thank you to Kim and Cathy for sending the Halloumi and thank you to ‘A chef in the woods with coco the border collie’ for the bacon wrapping suggestion.

I hope you enjoy the video.


Thanks for watching!
