I want pictures of your kids. Where are they?
Just Kidding! (maybe) I don't have a Dutch Oven, but Wade's brother uses one a lot, and has even won cook-offs with his recipes. I'll try to get copies of them for you.

1st Place Baklava for the Dutch Oven
- 24 sheets Fillo (phylo) dough (Thaw in fridge overnight, do not leave on counter)
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
- 2 T sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Lemon Honey Syrup:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 T honey
Prepare honey syrup by combining all ingredients and bringing to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Chill.
Melt butter. Mix walnuts, sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Butter the bottom of a 12-inch dutch oven generously. Lay 1 sheet of Fillo dough in the bottom of the dutch oven. While working with your fillo, keep it covered. (Technique: Butter a sheet of wax paper, place all fillo sheets on it, cover with wax paper and then a damp cloth.) Using a pastry brush, butter the top, beginning at the edges and working towards the center. Repeat this step until you have placed 8 sheets of Fillo dough in the dutch oven, buttering each layer. Sprinkle 1/2 nut mixture evenly over Fillo dough. Place 8 more sheets of Fillo dough on top of nut mixture, buttering between each layer. Sprinkle remaining nut mixture on top layer. Repeat with 8 more sheets of Fillo Dough. Drizzle remaining butter on the top. Fold down excess Fillo dough from around the edge of the dutch oven. Cut into diamond shaped pieces without cutting through the bottom layer of Fillo dough. Place lid on dutch oven. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until lightly golden (350=8 coals on the bottom and 16 on the top). Remove from heat and pour chilled syrup over the Baklava. Finish cutting through the bottom layer of Fillo. Serve. (To make in a conventional oven, use a 9x13 pan).
