    @SciAggie Gary, if you only knew how happy this makes me. I don’t care what you want to call it. They do look and count as naans to me though, FWIW. 

    This is ol’ skool stuff. Excuse me, I have to look at the pics again. And again.

    Thanks y’all. Since the oven was already hot, we just made flatbread pizzas.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Well... yeah, I see your point - I blame it on this forum. This place encourages that kind of behavior. 

    Coming from a guy that makes clandestine meetings in remote parking lots to buy meat from the trunk of a car... :)

    Haha! I've seen ads for those before. Then I saw the price tag. And went back to Kroger for their fresh wheat tortillas.

    But funny that you posted this , since I've recently been on a homemade roti kick.

    I posted in the Wild Yeast thread, since I've been making a SD version (khamiri roti). 

    A work in progress though. Its been about 20yrs since I made these on the regular, and I'm rusty on the details of my aunt's process (she was the one who had these down). Also, pedestrian fare, so not sure if many would be interested :)

    I'll post an update when I have it all wrapped up.

    Would a steel down low on a spider be good for cooking flatbreads?

    Not sure it will.  The steel seems to not work as well for this purpose at temps above 500F or so.

    Oh. My. God. Finally got it right. I hope these images cost you $500 for a Roccbox but either way, thanks for doing the work on this. 





    Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer were the Perfect topping for this Naan. This is by far the best Naan we have ever made. Years of hit-and-miss (mostly miss). We really dialed in the Naan rig too. It all came together tonight. So happy.

    I circled back to this thread the other day. It’s time I tried this again. 
    @The Cen-Tex Smoker That looks perfect.

    Bravo, sir... Bravo. 

    And if you only knew how close I am to getting a Roccbox. I planted the seed the other day. Just have to water it,  until caliqueen thinks it was her idea...

    Saw some interest in a reliable cornbread recipe earlier in this thread. This is a great way to start:
    https://tvwbb.com/threads/cornbread-blue-ribbon-lightly-sweet-and-crusty.15057/
    Always comes out beautifully, I've been using this recipe for 15 years. Easy to modify also, add fresh whole corn, add jalapeños, whatever you'd like.

    Looking forward to seeing your cooking spot.

    FWIW, this recipe is quick, and good:
