Hello,
We just purchased a Dutch oven not too long ago and we are experimenting with different recipies. Some have turned out really well. One recipie we found online was a German onion pie (Can't show URL!). When I cook this in our kitchen oven the pie crust turns out nice and flaky. I tried the same recipie in our 12" Lodge Dutch oven (with trivet). I ended up baking the pie 15 minutes longer than the recipe called for, but the crust still turned out softer and chewy. What can I do to get a nice golden/flaky crust? Is it the steam in the Dutch oven?
Thank you,
Ian
