2 cups biscuit mix
1/2 cup milk ( use pre-measured powder milk in a zipped bag )

2. Grease a large sheet of foil heavily. Place the dough on the foil and wrap it loosely so the foil package will not burst when the dough rises. Wrap the dough loosely again to cover the seams and crimping 3. Place the bread package at the edge of the coals and turn every 10 minutes for about 1 1/2 hours, depending on the intensity of the heat.
