	My friend cooks this great bread on a previous trip. We were canoeing mid October but still did have an issue to get the bread to rise. We love this 9" square aluminum dutch oven. I don't think you can get them anymore, unless anyone else can suggest a source. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) starwatcher

On the day I mentioned above (putting dough in my sleeping bag), it was spitting snow and the wind was probably 15 mph. So, if you can get dough to rise outdoors (sans heat) in these conditions, please provide your technique. dd

	Prouboy, I judge by the consistency of the dough, and you do want it pretty dry to work with successfully. If it is too sticky you can also make a bed of bisquick or flour to work on and sprinkle more on top as you pat it out flat. You need to remember to bring some extra flour on the trip for this necessity, or remember to hold some back from your recipie when you're making them. In all instances the bisquick dough is not as easy to work with as yeast dough; just dumping the whole ragged mess into a greased pan would work anyway, just look a bit weird. When I make them I work on a large plastic zip-lock. To roll up you can use the bag to support the dough, rather than trying to directly pick up the dough. Pinch the edge shut along the roll, cut them with a string by sliding string under the roll, bring the sting ends together over top and cross/pull to cut through the dough without squishing it. Regarding pans, I use an inexpensive lightweight aluminum pan. These are easy to find at a dollar store or goodwill. Foil pans will work too, but are pretty soft and need a little extra care and support when moving them around full and/or hot. I find that your cooking helpers might not remember this and it is a bummer to have the brownies on the ground

	I_C -- I am so damn impressed! That sheet of cookies looked PERFECT! Was that a dry mix? I can't wait to perfect this. I'll redo the cinnamon rolls...they actually tasted ok, just not particularly aesthetic to look at! thanks for the good advice! prouboy

	C_G the link does help, but it assumes you already have a bread recipe. Am I missing something? BTW, I just placed an order from pack-it, look forward to the shipment arriving! prouboy
