Hot off the grill: baking for BBQ season

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to fire up the grill, gather family and friends, and enjoy some seasonal BBQ food! Our talented team has put together some new BBQ-themed baking recipes, which we’re thrilled to share with you.

Pitta bread

Our homemade pitta bread recipe is a breeze to make, requiring just water, oil, and the bread mix. It’s so simple that you’ll feel like a pro in the kitchen. And the best part? It’s freezer-friendly, so you can prepare it in advance for your summer get-together. Fill it with mouthwatering BBQ meats and salad for a truly satisfying meal.

Orange Cake

There’s something special about the bright, tangy flavour of oranges, and this super moist orange cake recipe perfectly captures that sunny essence perfectly. The cake layers are packed with orange flavour, and this cake is sure to become a family favourite.

Baking on the BBQ

Have you ever tried baking bread on the barbecue? It can be done!

Once you’ve cooked your meat, use the BBQ heat to bake your risen dough. Place your tin or foil on the barbecue and bake (under a closed lid) for 30 minutes until the loaf is browned and shrinking slightly away from the sides of the tin or foil. Two ciabatta loaves from our Ciabatta Bread Mix (available in Sainsbury’s & Ocado) are in this photo.
