It is possible to do this successfully, but there are a few pieces of equipment that will make this process much easier. The first is a cast iron Dutch oven; a heavy-duty enameled one like this should work too. You'll also want an instant read thermometer, which will help you ensure the loaf has finished baking. Let the grill get very hot— you're looking for about 450-500°F. Put the Dutch oven onto the grill as it heats up (make sure you can preheat your pot empty before doing so). Once the pot and grill have both has time to preheat, you can gently place your risen loaf into the pot. Leave the lid off the Dutch oven off and close the grill. The bread will take about 35-40 minutes to bake if it's at 450°F. Try not to check too early as it will let out any steam that has built up, but use your hand thermometer to take the temperature once it looks nicely golden brown. Good luck! Kye@KAF
