Baking Bread in a Wood Cook Stove (+the Recipe!)

Baking Bread in a Wood Cook Stove (+the Recipe!)
The talented Eva has even been known to bake delicious bread on our grills at summertime events!

Our talented employees often bake in our wood cook stoves, the delicious aromas wafting through the stove room beckoning visitors to come see what's cookin'.

On a recent Saturday, Eva, our resident cook stove baking expert, baked a few batches of delicious oatmeal dinner rolls. They are always immensely popular! (You can see the Facebook Live video here.)

We had many requests for the recipe, and here it is, courtesy of Kitchen Category Manager Amy Murray, who prepared the rolls for Eva to bake.

The roll recipe is courtesy of Kitchen Category Manager Amy Murray and can be found in The More-With-Less Cookbook, which we've carried for decades!
