\"stacked-flatbreads-from-the-grill\"<\/p>\n

I’ve spent a lot of time this summer talking\u00a0about how easy it is to do loaf breads on the outdoor gas grill, but if truth be told, this is the bread I make every day when it’s hot.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because it’s crazy easy and fast.\u00a0 I go into the yard and do it in the morning, before the kids go off to day camp– this is the bread they take for sandwiches.\u00a0 It’s very, very simple.<\/p>\n

First off, you don’t need a baking stone<\/a><\/strong>, and that means a very quick pre-heat.\u00a0 Turn on your gas grill<\/strong> <\/a>to high heat (that’s right, high), close the lid, and wait about five minutes.\u00a0 Meanwhile, take out your stored dough, the white-flour version<\/strong> <\/a>or any other kind in the book<\/a><\/strong>, even enriched (though you need to turn down the heat for enriched).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, use a rolling\u00a0pin<\/strong> <\/a>and a sprinkle of flour to\u00a0roll out a grapefruit-sized piece of dough to about 1\/8-inch thickness, right on a floured pizza peel<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"1-roll-out-enriched-dough\"<\/p>\n

By now the grill should be hot, so slide the flatbread right onto the grates.\u00a0 Close the top, and wait about two minutes (depends on the intensity of the grill-heat).\u00a0 Open the lid; the bread is ready to turn (with a spatula<\/a><\/strong>) when it looks puffy, but the underside isn’t starting to burn (this one has some seeds, see below for details on that):<\/p>\n

\"puffy-almost-done\"<\/p>\n

It’s OK if there’s a little char.\u00a0 If the grill’s closed and you smell something burning, it is!<\/p>\n

After turning, about two more minutes should do it, again with the lid closed.\u00a0 Grilled flatbreads generally don’t puff like the pita<\/strong> <\/a>that we do inside on a hot stone, so you need to slit them to make filled sandwiches.<\/p>\n

A variation:<\/strong>\u00a0 using a pastry brush<\/a><\/strong>, paint the surface of the dough with water before sliding onto the grill.\u00a0 Sprinkle with alternating bands of white and black sesame seeds.\u00a0 My youngest calls this “bumblebee bread:”<\/p>\n

\"bumblebee-bread\"<\/p>\n

Everything tastes better outside!<\/strong><\/p>\n
