So last year I went glamping. Not camping mind you, because my hair doesn’t do outdoors, but I “roughed it” as well as I could. So when making up a new easy bread recipe, I thought this would be a great camp bread, you can make it ahead of time and cook it in your cast iron skillet over a fire.
Speaking of cast iron, I love them, I want one in every size and shape. It reminds me of camping without having to go outside. So whip up a batch of this easy bread made with cheddar cheese and chives, put it right in your cast iron skillet, wrap it up and take it with you. Makes a great side dish, snack, or you can open it up and use for bread on sandwiches (tent optional) Can also be seen on Foodgawker.com.
Cast Iron Cheese and Chive Camp Bread
Author: Bakesinslippers
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups self rising flour
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (save back ¼ cup for top)
- 2 T chopped chives (use fresh)
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 T melted unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (if making at home)
- Butter a 6 or 8 inch cast iron pan
- Mix flour, mustard, salt, ¾ cup of cheese and chives into a bowl, set aside
- Combine wet ingredients and fold into flour until combined
- Place dough into cast iron pan, spreading evenly
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top
- Bake 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown (if cheese starts to brown too quickly, you can add a piece of foil on top until finished baking)
Oh I’ve been waiting for this recipe since you posted the teaser the other day! This looks amazing, and I can’t believe how simple it is! I love my cast iron pan too and just like you, I want one in every size!
Cast iron is so versatile, and easy recipes make me happy. Thanks Sarah!
Too funny!! I just booked a ‘glamping’ trip for the summer. I will be taking my recently purchased cast iron skillet too. I am going to have to try this one out!!
I had a lot of fun glamping, it’s my kind of roughing it. I am not meant for a tent, but I had a great time. I love cast iron!
I am always looking for new things to make in my cast iron skillet. I think my family will enjoy this one. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Audrey!
Oh wow. Just hand me that pan and a fork please. Now that is a beautiful thing Janelle!!
I’m just starting to use cast iron more, and I’m loving it! I think the hardest thing for me to get used to is the clean up. I know that you’re not supposed to wash it with soap and water, but it’s really hard not to!
Great post! <3
Thanks again! Yes, cast iron can be a pain to clean, just make sure if you do use soap (eek) that you use a gentle one, and season it from time to time. I would make you food anytime
Wow, a simple yet flavorful bread recipe that’s easy. I like easy baking recipes!
