Baking

• This technique requires a combo cooker and a gas grill.
• If your dough is in the refrigerator, pull it out.
• Put the two pieces of the combo cooker into the grill . Set the burners on high, close the grill cover, and heat it up for about a half hour. You want to get it up to 500 °F.
• Get some high quality oven mitts, you will have to deal with a hot grill and hot cast iron.
• Open the grill. Take the your basket with risen dough and invert it to turn the dough out and into the HOT bottom portion of the combo cooker.
• Use a bread lame or razor blade to score your loaf (watch out for the HOT sides of the cooker and the grill).
• Use good oven mitts to place the top portion of the combo cooker over the top of the loaf.
  
• Close the grill, adjust the burners so the temperature is about 450 ºF and bake for 20 minutes.
  
• Use good oven mitts to open the grill and carefully take the top off of the combo cooker. Watch the grill's temperature so it does not get above 450 °F. Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  
• The top should be a deep brown, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a wire rack to cool.
