Picnic/BBQ Bread

Published on July 1, 2013 • Last updated July 18, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

It’s that time of year again (if we’re really lucky!) – it’s picnic and barbecue time!

Bread rolls are usually a staple at most picnics and barbecues. You can do so much with them with regards to filling, meaning each family member can tailor their own meal to their own liking. This is great if you have a family like mine where each person prefers a different type of barbecue! These rolls work best with a freshly barbecued sausage, I think, while our youngest would prefer just a slice of cheese, please!

fresh-from-the-oven-logoI am hosting the Fresh from the Oven challenge this month. This food blogging challenge by Michelle from Utterly Scrummy Food for Families and Claire from Purely Food tasks us to make and share our freshly baked bread recipes, each month having a different theme. This month I challenge you to share your picnic and barbecue bread recipes.

So, get baking and link up your bread recipes below. If you Tweet @TangoRaindrop @utterlyscrummy and @purelyfood and use the hashtag #FreshFromOven I will retweet all I see.

You can find the challenge rules here.

(Challenge is now closed)

    Fascinating challenge. Can’t say I’m very good at preparing barbeque bread but I’m in for the fun anyway so anything goes. 🙂
