MacKenzie Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 One thing I did want to be able to do is bake bread on this Little Gem. Today I made a batch of sour dough bread, use 85% of the ingredients for my standard loaf, probably could have gotten away with only a 10% reduction. This KK heated up so quickly it was well heat soaked by the time put the bread on. Things were a little hotter than normal, grill heat soaked at 540F. Next time I think I'll try 525F and I also over cooked the bread by a minute or two. The crumb is good and the flavour is awesome. Tomorrow I hope to do a pizza on the Little One. Can you tell I'm getting ready for winter when I don't to spend any more time in the ODK than I have to? 2
Pequod Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 Beautiful! Really like the idea of faster heat soak.
MacKenzie Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Thanks, Half Smoke. It was no problem at all getting it heat soaked. Every time I use this Little One I feel smarter for ordering it, why is that? Maybe I should special order another one. Edited October 16, 2016 by MacKenzie 2
Pequod Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 'Cause it's a brilliant idea, of course! Hadn't considered a 16" before, but you've definitely got me thinking about how practical it would be once we're empty nesters in two years.
MacKenzie Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) What got me thinking about it was the coming winter and you know as well as I that any pizza cooked on the KK is better than one cooked in the oven. and since it is heat soaked no problem putting on the second pizza.

tomahawk66 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 Looks amazing!!Quick question - how big is the baking/pizza stone on the 16?Now I'm tempted... maybe get one in orange/bronze and it can be the BB8 to my blue 32's R2D2!!! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
MacKenzie Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Posted October 16, 2016 With my trusty little tape I just measured it and at the widest it is 14.5 inches and front to back it is 10.75 inches. A little small but a very fast heater.
MacKenzie Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Instead of making round pizzas I may have to start making them the shape of the baking stone. Edited October 16, 2016 by MacKenzie 1
tomahawk66 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 Still; 12 inch pizza is a good size. Have you done much else on it like low and slow or grilling?Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
tinyfish Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 That bread looks great. Is your 22 getting jealous yet??
MacKenzie Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks guys, I hope to do another loaf today maybe right after the pizza or before.;) @tomahawk, I have only cooked squash,sausage, fonsant potatoes and 2 breakfasts, consisting of bacon , eggs and beans so far but I've only had it since Thurs. 1
Stile88 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 Mac i love all your bread cooks as always looks delicious
MacKenzie Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks, Stile. Here is another one. I wanted to use my normal sourdough full bread recipe and see if it would fit on the Little One. It is ready to flip out of the brotform. The crumb shot. The full recipe worked and I am very pleased with the bake.:) Edited October 17, 2016 by MacKenzie 2
