OK, it’s finally 85 degrees in Minneapolis, so we really have to get outside and do everything on the gas grill.\u00a0 Even Swedish Limpa Rye. Here’s how to do it, in a cloche, on the Grill:<\/p>\n
Mix up a batch of Limpa dough from the book, using the basic recipe<\/a><\/strong>, but swap 1 cup of rye flour for 1 cup of unbleached all purpose.\u00a0\u00a0To the liquid ingredients, add 1\/2 cup honey, 1\/2 teaspoon ground anise seed, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1 1\/2 teaspoons orange zest (use a microplaner<\/strong> <\/a>to get the zest but not the bitter white pitch).\u00a0 Mix till a wet dough forms then allow to rest and rise for about 2 hours at room temperature.\u00a0 Refrigerate loosely covered and use over the next seven days.<\/p>\n On baking day, dust the surface of the dough with some flour and tear off a grapefruit-sized piece.\u00a0 Quickly form a loaf and elongate it (see the videos<\/a><\/strong>).\u00a0 Let it rest on parchment paper<\/strong> <\/a>sitting on a pizza peel<\/strong> <\/a>for at least 40 minutes, or as long as 90 minutes.\u00a0 60 or more minutes will give you a more open hole structure.<\/p>\n 30 to 45 minutes before you loaf is fully rested, preheat your outdoor gas grill<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to about 375 degrees, with a covered baking cloche (clay cooker)<\/strong><\/a> sitting inside the covered grill, right on the grates.\u00a0 I’d thought about doing this with a baking stone<\/strong> <\/a>under the clay cloche, but that propped it too high and the grill lid wouldn’t fully shut (which it must for temperature to be maintained).\u00a0 It takes about 30 to 45 minutes, with some fiddling, to get the temperature you want.\u00a0 A 20-minute preheat is too short to get the cloche up to temperature.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just before you’re ready to bake, paint the surface with water (use a pastry brush<\/a><\/strong>) and sprinkle with cardamom-anise sugar (1\/4 teaspoon, ground cardamom, 1\/4 teaspoon ground anise seed, and 1 1\/2 teaspoons sugar).\u00a0 Then slash with a sharp bread knife<\/a><\/strong>, making cuts at least a 1\/4-inch deep:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
