The utilization of a circular, often metallic, cooking surface designed for oven-baked flatbread on an open outdoor cooking device is a technique gaining traction. This method allows individuals to replicate oven-style baking results in an outdoor environment, offering a unique culinary experience. The setup typically involves placing the aforementioned cooking surface directly on the grill grates.
This method presents several advantages. First, it creates a consistent cooking temperature, mitigating the risk of scorching the flatbread’s base, a common issue when cooking directly on grill grates. Secondly, it allows for even heat distribution, ensuring the flatbread cooks uniformly. Historically, similar techniques have been employed in various cultures using different materials to achieve the same goal: controlled, indirect heat for baking purposes.
