I don't know if you'll find this recipe, but I can guarantee you, it's delicious...
Pan de Campo (Camp Bread)
Pan de campo (camp bread), long a favorite of cowboys in South Texas, has become a trademark of outdoor chef Ruben Hinojosa, who has garnered top prizes in several competions with this recipe.
2 cups flour
2 level tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
3/8 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup cold milk
Mix all the ingredients, but don't knead the dough too much. If it feels dry, add a few drops of milk.
Roll the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick. (Thinner if you want a crisper loaf.)
Place into a well-greased, preheated 14-inch Dutch oven, and poke a few holes in the dough with a fork to allow steam to escape. Bake 10-15 minutes, turning the bread over after about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
Some cooks prefer shortening instead of oil, others use water instead of milk. Experiment to find the version that suits your taste. (Folks cooking in regular ovens will want to set the temperature to 400 degrees.)

I love my Camp Chef Ultimate Turkey Dutch Oven and we use it for smoking turkey (8 min per pound and no oil to dispose of), ribs, and cooking beef and pork roasts.
The Ultimate Dutch Oven looks like an angel food cake pan with a center cone to push the heat through the center of the pan.
Basically, it is simple:
Line the oven with foil (helps with the cleanup)
add a handful of wood chips (hickory or mesquite)
put in the grate
Add the meat and cook
I keep the heat on for about 8 minutes per pound
I use a 30K BTU camp stove
Because you basically make charcoal in the oven I use hot water and little soap to clean it. I then dry it on the stove and re-season it with vegetable shortening.
The second receipe that we really enjoy is a dutch overn cake:
Again I line the oven with foil (and I don't use the Ultimate Oven)
Take two cans / jars of fruit -- drain most of the juice off
Dump in the middle of the pan
Add a cube of butter (NOT margerine) chopped up
1/2 cup to 1 cup brown sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit used
Take a regular white cake mix (cheaper store brand works great)
dump into a bowl and add 7-Up or any fruit flavored soda (no diet)
and mix until the mixture is the consistancy of pancake batter
Pour the batter over the top of the fruit/butter/sugar mixture and put it on the fire. Put 7 to 10 briquettes on the lid and bake for 45-60 minutes. I rotate the oven 90 degrees every 15 minutes and turn the lid 90 degrees the opposite direction to prevent hot spots.
Great served warm with home-made ice cream and we like it the next morning cold as well.
Here is a ease one that works well in a dutch oven.
1 pk. country style riba
salt & pepper
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup water
1/2 cup rown sugar
Layer apples slices in the bottom of D/O, and add water. salt & pepper ribs and lay on top of apples. Sprinkel brown sugar on top of ribs. Bake at around 350 ( use 9 colds on bottom and 16 on top of a # 12 dutch oven. bake for 1 hour, turning 1/4 turn ever 15 minutes. Any thing you can bake in a oven at home, you can cook in a dutch oven.
Here is one we make almost everytime we go out - Cobbler. It is super easy and always really delicious. We always line the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil when we make this for easy clean up.
2-3 cans pie filling (pick a fruit)
1 white cake mix
1 cube butter
Cinnamon if you like it
Pour the pie filling in the oven, pour the cake mix on top (you may or may not want to use the whole box). Slice the butter in thin slices and spread them around the top. Add cinnamon/nutmeg or any other such spices you like, sprinkled on top. I will usually put 7-8 coals underneath and 15-16 on top and cook it for 30-45 minutes or so. I just check it a lot until the top is a golden brown. I like to whip some cream to go on top, or sometimes we make some homemade ice cream to go with.
