Smoked Chuck Sandwich

[cowgirl]

I've made these before but wanted to try the bread on the drum instead of my horizontal.

I made a loaf of bread in a 12" skillet, brushed the top with bacon drippings and sprinkled with minced onion....
Smoked in the drum for about an hour....





I rap the top of the loaf, if it sounds hollow, it's ready.




Smoked a chuck on the horizontal with hickory....


Spit the loaf of bread and started building....



Added onions browned in bacon drippings...



Provolone and american cheese... (cause I like them. :))



Not sure how I missed the bacon shot.... I think my mind was on the plate of bacon and not my camera...



Slathered the lid with a horseradish sauce and it was ready to eat....








It was tasty. I like the drum bread.

Thanks for checking out my sandwich!

Thank you for the kind words and the points folks!
It was pretty tasty.
Mark I'd sure share with ya. I have a lot left over. lol

Tim the bread recipe is a real easy one.

I disolve
1 pkg of yeast in
1 1/4 cups of warm water
Add
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 TBs of oil



Mix in 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups of flour



Knead for 5 minutes, cover and let it rise for one hour.



Then I put it in my skillet or pan.



I flatten it out a bit and brush the top with bacon drippings and add minced onion...



Cover and let it rise another hour...



I heated the drum to about 315. It cooks hotter in the center so I thought the CI skillet might be thick enough to keep the bottom of the bread from getting too crispy while the rest was baking.
I kept a close eye on it and it took about an hour.

When I bake this in the oven, it bakes at 375 for 25 to 30 minutes.

You can add onion and garlic to the dough... it's easy to spice the bread up a bit.

It was tempting to just eat it hot off the smoker with butter, but I saved it for my sandwich.
