1 1/2 Tbs. Sugar
3 Cups Warm Water (110 degrees)

1/4 Cups Oat Bran
Egg Wash and Sesame Seeds on Top

Butter, Honey, Jam or whatever you want to put on it when it is done!!

Directions:
Proof Yeast with 1/2 Cup of water and sugar.
With the rest of the warm water add the other ingredients using 3 cups of flour. Mix all together. Add yeast mixture and then blend in rest of the flour. Knead 6 minutes to develop gluten.
Form into 2 round balls. Place each one into dutch ovens. Wash with egg wash. Make several sliced in the dough; then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Let the dough rise to double in size. Bake about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the weather.

Or if you are cooking them on your Camp Chef propane stove. Pre heat the lid and then put it on and cook on warm with your Dutch Oven Dome over the top.
Wait for the smell and then you will know that it is done.
