Detroit Style Pizza

**Ingredients**

**Dough:**

 * 300g (about 2 ¼ cups) bread flour

 * 5g (1 tsp) instant yeast

 * 9g (1 ½ tsp) kosher salt

 * 220g (about 1 cup) warm water

 * Olive oil (for greasing)

**Toppings:**

 * Sliced Muenster cheese

 * 12 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes

 * 1 cup pizza sauce

 * Pepperoni (optional)

**Instructions**

 1. **Mix:** In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water and mix on low speed until a rough ball forms. Turn off the mixer and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

 2. **Knead & Rise:** Mix on medium-low speed with the dough hook for 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and silky. Form it into a tight ball, cover the bowl, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours (until doubled in size).

 3. **First Stretch:** Generously oil the bottom and sides of your Dutch oven. Put the pizza dough in and stretch it toward the sides. Cover and let rest for half an hour.

 4. **Second Stretch & Top:** Stretch the dough again so it reaches the edges. Line the perimeter of the Dutch oven with the sliced Muenster cheese so it rests against the sides for a crispy edge. Press the cubed mozzarella cheese evenly across the rest of the dough, add pepperoni if using, and spoon the sauce in thick stripes across the top.

 5. **Bake:** Cook for 30 minutes in the Dutch oven with 14 briquettes on the bottom and 30 briquettes on top.

Easy Blueberry Cobbler

 

Ingredients:

- fresh blueberries

- 2 can of blueberries in water

- 1 can Blueberry pie filling

- 1 yellow cake mix 

- Sprite

Directions:

You will first drain the water out of your canned blueberries in water and then add it to bottom of the dutch oven. Mix in your blueberry pie filling. Then add you fresh blueberries. Each of these blueberries cook differently, taste different and have a different texture to the dessert (if you are really going easy just add blueberry pie filling). Then once the blueberries are in youre going to add the cake mix to the top. Make sure it is spread evenly to cover the blueberries. Dont mix together, leave it on top. Then youre going to add a small amount of sprite over the top of the cake mix. Mix enough to have small clumps of moist cake mix but not too much to make the entire thing wet and soggy. You are ready to cook, cook for 45min and rotate respectively every 15 minutes. 

Cheesy Breakfast Potatoes

 Ingredients:

- 3 whole potatoes

- medium cheddar shredded cheese 

- bacon (cooked or raw works)

- breakfast sausage

- 6 eggs 

- Salt

- pepper 

- garlic powder

- 1 whole onion

Most of the ingredients is based on how many people who want to feed. This amount I found fed around 5-6 people. First, you want to cook your bacon and sausage at the same time. Cook for 20 minutes lid on your dutch oven. Once those are cooked you want to take those out and keep them somewhere warm. Then you want to put in your potatoes and onions to cook. Cut your potatoes into cubes that are around the same size to even the cooking. Dice your onion. Put your potatoes in as well as your onion. Season your potatoes with pepper and salt according to your likes (you will also add salt in your eggs so add the salt according to the potatoes). Add garlic powder. Cook with lid on for 20min and then take off and cook for 5 more minutes to make it crispy, try not to mix it too much or it will become mashed potatoes. Once those are about done, add the eggs and cook for 10 minutes. Then you'll want to add the sausage and bacon. Mix together and cook with lid off. Once mixed, you will add the cheese to the top and cook with lid on for another 7min to make it melt over the top.

Coconut Curry Dumplings

Dumpling Dump-and-Bake

Ingredients:

- 1 can coconut milk

- 2 tbs red curry paste

- 2 cloves minced garlic

- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- Frozen dumplings of choice (I like trader joe's chicken gyozas!)

Whisk the coconut milk, curry paste, garlic, soy sauce, and cilantro together in a bowl or in the dutch oven. Place dumplings (however many fit, I used an entire TJ's package) in the sauce and spoon some of the sauce over the dumplings. 

Place 10 briquettes on bottom and 14 briquettes on top and cook for 40 minutes. If cooking in the oven, I use a 9x13 pan and cook it at 400 for 20ish minutes.
