Baking Breads
Cooking in a dutch oven definitely includes baking. Breads have a common tendency to burn on the bottom, but that is usually caused by folks putting too many coals under and not enough on top. When cooking breads, rolls, and biscuits, almost all the heat should be coming from the top - place 3/4 of the coals on top of your oven.
