Equipment
| 4qt Dutch Oven | Dutch Oven Parchment Liners |
Ingredients
| 8 slices thick bread 1 cup of milk 3 eggs |
¼ cup sugar 2 tablespoons cinnamon 1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
¼ teaspoon salt ¾ cup blueberries |
Instructions
- Start your coals. Cut out a circular piece of parchment paper to serve as a liner inside a 10-inch Dutch oven.
- Tear the bread into rustic pieces (roughly 2 inches square) and place in the Dutch oven on top of the parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the eggs, then stir in salt, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Once those ingredients are fully incorporated, stir in the milk.
- Now slowly drizzle the mixture over the bread. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to lightly toss the bread until each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle the blueberries on top and mix gently.
- Cover the Dutch oven and set it over seven evenly spaced briquets, then add 14 briquets to the top of the lid, giving a cooking temperature of about 350 degrees in a 10-inch oven. (Use 16 total coals for an 8-inch oven, or 25 for a 12-incher, placing about one-third of the coals underneath and the rest on top.) Bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
