Baking On A Camp Stove
A quick note about the recipes here that are baked: If you are using your camp stove and Dutch oven to bake recipes, you will need a dome and heat diffuser plate to properly circulate the air up the walls and over the top of the Dutch oven as well as below the bottom.

- If you don’t have one, we’ve got tips so you can find the best Dutch oven for camping.

13. Dutch Oven Biscuits
You can make these flaky biscuits on your propane camp stove by using a dome instead of using campfire coals or charcoal briquettes.

24. Campfire French Toast
I like making this yummy French toast over my campfire but you can also make it using a camp stove. The Texas toast is the beginning of a great recipe. Dip the slices in the egg mixture then cook them in butter on a cast iron griddle for a wonderful taste and texture. Just make sure you have even heat under the griddle and be prepared to move the slices around for even toasting if you have hot spots directly above the stove’s burners.
