Jane in NC Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Here is the original, inspirational thread. My bread was OK--not great. But I think my mistake could have been attempting too large of a loaf. The Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day concept produces a smaller loaf. I made up some wet dough--about two "grapefruits" in size. Since the objective (in my opinion) is avoiding the oven, I did not harden the crust under the broiler. Anyone else have a report? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessa516 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I've made it twice. Both times it has turned out just okay. I did brown them up under the broiler, but I'm just not pleased with the texture on the inside. My best bread is always made by cooking it in a cast iron dutch oven.

Gisel_le Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Mine was really yummy, but I did broil it for 3 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmgal Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have been waiting for someone else to try it before I did. ;) Wonder if you could cook it on the grill with a pizza stone? If the crockpot method isn't so yummy. It's just to hot here in the summer to cook much in the oven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma4Boys Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I think the grill would be great. Indirect heat? :bigear: would love more thoughts on this idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a vegan and have told myself over and over that I'm so glad that I don't need a dutch oven (expense and storage). But now, you've got me looking for a good deal on one! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I think the grill would be great. Indirect heat? I know he AB in 5 authors have done this and wrote about I on their site! I'll see if I can find it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I haven't yet--it's been quite cool here this past week and I've been able to use the oven (someone tell summer it's late to the ball, please? OK, no, we'll go from 70 to 99 if I ask, I know this). I plan on trying it this week. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in NC Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 I think the grill would be great. Indirect heat? We regularly make flat bread on the grill I use a refrigerator/potato dough for flat bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
