Grilled Asiago Rounds

How do you get fresh, warm bread in July without overheating the kitchen? Mix up some dough and fire up the grill, that's how! This dough makes plenty of flavorful, small round loaves, perfect for tearing apart and dipping into a spread, or topping with some zucchini caponata for a quick small meal. Once you have the rounds ready to grill, cooking all 16 mini loaves should take less than 20 minutes. Then everyone can sit down and dig in! See the video of these breads being made at how2heroes.

Tips from our bakers
- After scraping the starter out into your mixing bowl, pour the rest of the recipe's water into the bowl the starter was in. Give the water a quick stir to loosen any clinging bits of starter so they get into the final dough, and you'll give yourself a head start on cleanup at the same time.
- Two of these rounds make a great "bun" for a grilled piece of fish or portobello mushroom.
- You can use this dough to make a pizza, either grilled or baked.
- To check to see if your bread is kneaded properly, try pulling a window pane. Click here to see the video.

These were fantastic! Made the dough in my bread machine, shaped the rounds and refrigerated until ready to bake. Used a large aluminum roasting dish to cover them and grilled 8 at a time on my gas grill. The only thing I'd adjust is the temperature. Instead of medium high, next time I'll grill them on medium. The flavor is wonderfully cheesy -- shared some with my coworker and her family and they want the recipe. My daughter loves them -- especially when dipped in ranch dressing. Had with grilled pork loin roast the first night and a bell pepper-onion sauced pasta the next. Will definitely make again.

Fantastic taste! I didn't have an aluminum pan but they still grilled perfectly. Loved splitting them in half for sandwiches. Delicious!
