Bread baked on the Cobb grill
I decided to give baking some bread on the Cobb a try. I must say, it far exceeded my expectations.
I used coconut charcoal and got the grill blazing hot. I used the deflector plate and the rack. When it was hot, I quickly opened the lid and set the pie pan with the bread on the rack and immediately got the lid back on. I did not look for 25 min. When I did check it, it was getting done faster on one side, so I just rotated the least done side to the hotter area. It took about 45 min. to reach the desired level of doneness. I expected the bottom to be a little over done, but it was nicely browned just like the rest of the loaf.
The recipe was Rose's Hearth Bread, from the back of an old Better for Bread flour bag. It is a very simple recipe. terry
I tried to post a couple of photos but have never figure out how to do that. Here is a link to a site that has them, if you are interested in seeing how they looked.
