our daily bread !

have to judge it depends on thickness etc about 20 mins best way to tell is to tap it and it should sound hollow!!

An hot oven is needed for risen bread but you can make flat breads in a skillet over a fire. No idea if a steel box over a heat source would do a good job, dutch oven work okay but their thick cast iron.

+1 on the dutch oven:

That looks like my Ronnie Sunshines big one, did you have coals on the lid too or is the heat from below sufficient for bread?

Yep, the 12 litre one

Coals on to top and bottom. you can see I am using a small pan to act as a trivet to keep the breadpan off the direct heat.
