Let’s heat up the grill once more. It’s still warm and not raining right now, so let’s do this. Tomorrow it could be snowing already ;)
Today I have a really easy recipe for you – bread you can make on a grill or in a pan. Who does not need some bread when having a BBQ with friends or family – this bread can be done easily while you are preparing the other stuff… when everything else is ready, you can throw the bread on the grill first and in a matter of minutes, you have nice bread for your salad or meat.
The bread is something for bread baking beginners. Unlike other bread, this one does not need a day to prepare, rise or whatever – this is an easy one. You can’t compare it with a homemade sourdough bread, to be honest, but it’s still good and tasty. I like it a lot. You can even make sandwiches with it or use it as burger buns ;)
With this bread, I normally serve some homemade herb butter. Spread it on the warm bread and you won’t eat anything else. Carbs will turn into your best friends ;P
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the bread:
1 1/4 cups (300ml) lukewarm water
1.5 oz. (42g) fresh yeast
pinch of sugar
17.6 oz. (500g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. butter, at room temperature
some olive oil to brush the bread
For the herbs butter:
8.8 oz. (250g) butter, at room temperature
fresh herbs (parsley, basil, chive, rosemary, etc.)
1-2 cloves of garlic
sea salt, pepper
Für die Fladenbrote:
300ml lauwarmes Wasser
1 Würfel frische Hefe (42g)
Prise Zucker
500g Mehl (Type 405)
1/2 TL Salz
1 EL weiche Butter
Olivenöl zum Bestreichen
Für die Kräuerbutter:
250g weiche Butter
1 Bund frische Kräuter (Petersilie, Basilikum, Schnittlauch, Rosmarin etc.)
1-2 Knoblauchzehe(n)
Meersalz, Pfeffer
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. For the herb butter wash the herbs and dry with a kitchen paper, chop finely. Peel the garlic and cut finely. Mix all with the butter (works best with a fork), season with the salt and pepper. Store in the fridge until needed.
3. Heat up the bbq or a griddle pan. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and form into flat bread. Brush with some olive oil and place on the grill/pan. Cook/fry for about 3 minutes, brush with olive oil and turn over, cook/fry for another 3 minutes.
2. Für die Kräuterbutter die Kräuter waschen, mit einem Küchentuch trocknen und dann fein hacken. Den Knoblauch schälen und dann fein hacken oder durch eine Knoblauchpresse drücken. Alles mit der weichen Butter verrühren (funktioniert am Besten mit einer Gabel) und dann mit dem Meersalz und Pfeffer würzen. Bis zur Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Den Grill oder eine Pfanne aufheizen. Den Teig in 8 gleichgroße Portionen aufteilen und zu flachen Fladen formen/ziehen. Die Fladen mit Olivenöl bestreichen und auf den Grillrost oder in die heiße Pfanne legen und für etwa 3 Minuten grillen/braten. Die Oberseiten dann ebenfalls mit Öl einstreichen, umdrehen und weitere 3 Minuten grillen/braten.

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
