Dogs in Sleeping Bags

A camping recipe from Sam. This makes a nice lunch, and kids will enjoy helping prepare and cook it. Refrigerated bread or pizza dough is available in most supermarket bakery sections, or you can make your own with a breadmaker. I used a whole wheat recipe, but feel free to experiment with your own favorite. Since the cooking times over coals can vary so much, it may be wise to check after about 20 minutes. When the buns are golden brown, they're done.

Prep Time: 1 hours

Ingredients:

• 6 large-size wieners
• 1 package (small loaf size) bread dough
• 3 slices of cheese

Preparation:

Pinch off a ball of bread dough about the size of a small apple and flatten inside a folded sheet of aluminum foil until it is longer than the wiener and approximately 6 times as wide. It helps if you coat the ball with a little margarine first.

Place a wiener at one edge and add half a slice of cheese. Roll up and pinch ends together. Place on a greased pan. In the coals of your morning fire (or even last night's, as long as you still have hot coals) place 3 or 4 stones so that your pan will be supported about 4 inches above the coals, and put the pan on the stones.

Take a piece of foil (the wide, heavy duty kind works best) long enough to form into a cylinder that will fit over the pan and the stones, and close the top end. This is your oven. After about half an hour to 45 minutes, your cheesy dogs-in-sleeping-bags will be ready.
