Instructions Table
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in the milk. |
| 2 | Sprinkle the dry yeast over the top of the milk mixture and let it sit for a few minutes to activate. |
| 3 | Add the remaining ingredients, using only 1½ cups of the flour to start. |
| 4 | Beat the mixture until smooth, then begin mixing with your hands, gradually adding flour until a soft dough forms. |
| 5 | Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm, sunny spot until it has doubled in size, which is usually quicker outdoors. |
| 6 | Once risen, form the dough into small balls and place them in a lightly oiled Dutch oven. |
| 7 | Allow the rolls to rise again until they have doubled in size. |
| 8 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. |
| 9 | For Dutch Oven cooking: Arrange 6-8 coals on the bottom and 13-14 coals on top of the Dutch oven. |
| 10 | Rotate the lid and the oven a quarter turn every 10 to 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. |
| 11 | Don’t hesitate to peek at the rolls to check their progress. |
| 12 | Baking times may vary; cooler days may require a bit longer while warmer days may need less time. |
| 13 | The rolls are done when they start to pull away from the sides and achieve a nice, light golden brown color on top. |
| 14 | Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving—enjoy them warm or store for future meals! |
Enjoy making these scrumptious Dutch Oven Yeast Rolls on your next camping adventure, and savor the joy they bring to every meal!
