The challenge with grilling is keeping the temperature consistent and using indirect heat. You may need to tweak some of our directions to fit your grill. Having fresh baked bread in the summer. however, without turning on your oven is worth some trial and error. Here are some grilling tips to help you be successful.
IN GENERAL
- Do not open the grill door or remove the grill cover while baking your bread because this will cause a loss of heat.
- Use a temperature probe to monitor when your bread is done baking such as the Taylor Digital Cooking Probe Thermometer. Insert the temperature probe in your dough, close the grill cover and do not open the grill cover until your bread temperature is 190-210°F.
- In general, decrease baking temperature by 25°F and increase baking time by 5-10 minutes.
- To get a nice brown crust, brush the surface of your dough with a mixture of 1 egg white whisked with 1 Tablespoon of cold water.
WHAT TYPE OF BAKING PAN TO USE?
Recommended baking pans are cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, cookie sheet (that fits your grill), and metal cake or pie pans.
- Prepare your baking pan by lining with parchment paper or greasing with pan release spray such as Pam.
WHAT TYPE OF GRILL DO YOU HAVE?
Wood pellet grills such as Traeger and RecTeq are great grills for baking Wild About Bread™ because of consistent heat. Bake at 400°F for 27-35 minutes or done.
Gas grills: If you have multiple burner controls, turn off the middle burner or one of the burners to create indirect heat. Set the heat to 400°F. Place the dough on the part of the grate without the lit burner and bake for 27-35 minutes or done.
Charcoal grills: Do not bake bread directly over charcoal. Your bread will burn on the bottom. To create indirect heat using charcoal, arrange your charcoal around the edges of your grill. Place your dough in the middle of the grill, close cover and bake for 27-35 minutes or done. Do not open the grill cover.
