Bread may not be the first thing you think of grilling
0:02
but it was certainly one of the first foods man learned to cook with live fire. Italian brusquetta, Middle Eastern pita, and Indian non
0:09
although their soulful flavor to the proximity of fire and smoke. Up next, a not-so-simple garlic bread
0:17
You grill directly over a campfire. Start with loaves of Italian-style bread
0:22
and cut them in half using a serrated knife. Next, make the garlic parsley butter
0:36
It starts with creamed, salted butter, then add pepper, finely chopped garlic, chopped
0:45
fresh flat leaf parsley, grated, Parmigiano-Regiano cheese, and here's the kicker, finely
0:52
chopped prosciutto. Beat these ingredients together until the mixture is light and cream
0:59
You can see why it important to have the butter at room temperature Next bread the garlic parsley cheese prosciutto butter on the cut side of each piece of bread
1:11
The flavorings for this bread, of course, are limited only by your imagination
1:17
For a Mexican twist, you could use chopped jalapeno chilis and cilantro
1:22
I love the addition of the prosciutto. There are a couple of options for
1:31
grill baskets. This model is designed for a half loaf and this model
1:37
accommodates a full look. What you do is using an oil sprayer spray the basket
1:46
with olive oil. This will keep the garlic bread from sticking. All you need to do
1:57
at this point is place the garlic bread half in the basket
2:01
then slide the ring back to secure it. I'll show you again
2:07
Ring down to open the basket Half garlic bread slide the ring down to secure it
2:21
With this basket, open up the hinge panels, and the flexible wire will bend to accommodate
2:29
the bread. Close the basket with this ring. the garlic breads are ready for grilling
2:38
Let's head over to the fire. So when I said wood grilled garlic bread, I meant it
2:49
And what you want to do is just use your live fire as a toaster
2:55
Get more of a kind of a smoke flavor. You go over the flames. And more just grilling, you go over the coals
3:03
And if it gets too hot, put on your grill gloves. and you can go back over the heat
3:08
Remember, the grill was the original toaster. You've probably heard of a popular Italian appetizer
3:15
called brusquetta It comes from the Italian word bruscaire meaning to burn Of course what we want to do is grill the garlic bread not burn it
3:26
And that's what you're looking for, the golden brown edges and the sizzling bubbling butter
3:33
And here's your grilled garlic bread. What you want to do when you take it out, remember
3:45
This metal ring will be very hot. So use a glove to pull it out
3:50
and then you just kind of shake to loosen the bread from the basket
4:02
Can't wait to try this. Mmm! The wood fire gives the bread a really ruster quality
4:13
and the prosciutto and parmesan. Take this to a whole other level
