Did anyone say BBQ bread, or banana Chocolate Chip Muffins on the Grill? Yes, I had a little extra time on my hands this weekend, so I decided to experiment with our new grill. I learned something very interesting. It is quite possible to bake loaf of bread, Irish Soda bread, Donuts and even my favorite banana Chocolate Chip Muffins on the BBQ in our backyard. I was surprised at how easy it was.
Historically, are the Spanish-Basque sheep herders known to our Dutch Oven chefs for their beautiful "out on the range" sour dough bread. Since I am a license for digging a pit in my backyard, fill it with hot coals and bake my bread in a Dutch oven covered with Earth and hot coals need would, I decided to go a more simple route and try the baking of bread in my BBQ.
Many new grills, including us, has a temperature measure so the trick is to just the temperature stable to 350 degrees and you're set. I've found that our Kenmore 4 burner grill set to 350 degrees like any other burner is turned on and on just above layer. Once the temperature has stabilised at 350, you can just about anything cooking. This is really handy as we seem to be experiencing a lot of power outages here in Denver due to our local power company's consistent inability to deliver enough power supply during the hot summer months of high demand. Just imagine your bread dough only to discover an unexpected power failure that halts production for 3 or 4 hours baking have kneaded. With my new discovery BBQ bread will blackouts no longer stop determined bakers like myself of making all those yummy dairy free baked goods for my family.
Here is a wonderful BBQ baked dairy free banana Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe that are on the backyard BBQ or even on the campsite can:
