How to Cook Grilled Flatbread on the BBQ
Ingredients:
- A batch of 5-Minute Dough (as many golf-ball sized pieces as you’d like slices of flatbread – See our Naan recipe for an idea)
- Canola Oil
- Cooking spray-oil (canola based if possible – high smoke point is good)
- salt
Steps:
1. Give your grill a quick shot of cooking spray and preheat it to around 400F.
2. Liberally oil (2-3 Tbsp) a large cookie sheet. Press and shape the bread balls into bread ovals – the flatter the better. Turn them as you press to coat both sides with oil. Lay them out on the cookie sheet – ready to transfer to the grill.
3. Carefully lift the dough-ovals onto the grill. I say lift, but the better word is “flop”. (It is a flop of faith, but don’t worry – if you preheated properly, all will be well.) Spread the bread evenly around the grill. Cover.
4. After about 3-5 minutes, check for grill-lines with some tongs by gently lifting up a corner. You will be surprised by how firm your bread has become. Turn over and grill the other side for about the same length of time.
5. Remove to a tray. While still warm, butter or give a shot with cooking spray and toss with a dash of salt. (Garlic or onion powder would also probably be good.) Serve.
Be ready to make more. Your guests may demand it.
Don’t worry, it was pretty easy.
