Mark Hansen, author of five Dutch oven cookbooks, will be preparing various breads with his Dutch oven, based on his book, "Dutch Oven Breads." 

About Mark:

Mark started cooking in his Dutch ovens in 2006 when his wife surprised him with one as a Father's Day present. His first cooking attempt was pizza, and the family instantly declared it a success. He began a tradition of cooking the family's Sunday dinners in his Dutch ovens. 

In April of the following year, he thought he should start sharing what he'd learned, and he established the "Mark's Black Pot" blog. Years and hundreds of recipes later, it's still one of the most widely read Dutch oven blogs on the Internet.

Mark lives in Eagle Mountain, Utah, with his wife, Jodi, and their two boys, who are also budding chefs.

Enjoy rustic Italian breads, traditional ryes, French batardes, cakes, biscuits and more! Baking on your back porch or in your campground kitchen has never been easier.

Doug Martin, two-time world Dutch oven champion and author of "Sweet Cast Iron Creations," will be showcasing and demonstrating how to cook cakes and cobblers in a Dutch oven. 

About Doug: 

Doug Martin grew up in Wichita, Kansas, as the oldest of five children. His family moved to Asheville, North Carolina, when he was a junior in high school. He left for college on a soccer scholarship after graduating from high school and eventually joined 

the army. He was stationed at Ft.Belvoir, Virginia, where he met and married his wife, Racheall. Fifteen years later, they have one beautiful daughter, Isabella, age 11. They moved to Racheall's home state of Utah in 2003. A few years after moving to Utah, Martin fulfilled his desire of learning how to cook. He began with the art of barbecue. Determined to do it right, he solicited the help of a local barbecue restaurant owner, who became his mentor. His first barbecue competition saw him emerge as grand champion. This only inspired him to learn more and to perfect his skills. He eventually took a cake decorating class, where he learned techniques for making his already delicious cakes look beautiful. He met his current Dutch oven teammate, Matt Pelton, in the barbecue arena. It was there that these two formed a partnership that would make them the only Dutch oven team to win the International Dutch Oven Society World Championship two years in a row, in 2012 and 2013.
