All Dutch Oven for Outdoor & at home
Gingerbread is a very popular biscuit - whether as a heart at the funfair or in winter at Christmas time. You can find it in many different variations. Here we present a quick and easy gingerbread recipe for baking in a Dutch Oven Square.
Preparation with briquettes Depending on the size, burn approx. 18-22 briquettes and place 8-10 under the Dutch Oven and the rest on the lid.
Preparation
Mix the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, baking cocoa and gingerbread spice in a large bowl and set aside
Mix the butter, milk, apple sauce and sugar beet syrup with a mixer and then add the flour mixture to make a smooth dough.
Then line the Dutch oven square with baking paper so that nothing sticks. Pour the batter into the tin and place it with the lid over the preheated briquettes.
Finally, place the briquettes on the lid and leave the gingerbread to bake for around 25-30 minutes.
You can easily test whether the gingerbread is firm with a wooden stick. If the dough sticks, it needs a little more time.
If you like it fruitier, you can refine the gingerbread recipe with candied orange peel. Alternatively, for a sweeter gingerbread, decorate it with dark chocolate or sprinkle it with icing sugar.
