Cast iron Pot bread

[Other Pineapple Smurf]

Love making bread in this thing and doing a garlic cheese one today.

I place dough balls, layer with cheese, another dough layer.




Then top it with cheese, garlic and rosemary spice

Place coals (using a retainer block here)


And wait


Best bread ever

Looks yummy, why do you use a retainer block?

Looks great.

How do you regulate the heat though (ie no how much coal is too little / too much)?

And how long you bake for?

Trial and error, secret is to use less coals.

This took 50 minutes to bake.

My charcoal BBQ is not very big and I had the grill full of meat.

Being Cape winter, it gets impossible to cook anything from 5 outside.

The retainer block was more a choice of luck and actually worked perfectly.

Building a braai this summer and will do a oven on the side for bread and pizza.
