Baking Bread on a Gas Stovetop

Some techniques I developed making bread over a gas burner, during a recent stay in Haiti. While I did have an oven, most Haitians don't, and I wanted a method that did not use as much gas. This is a compilation of clips. The background noise is nearby schoolchildren.

please do reply.. if we put brown paper in the mould before baking, then will it help to avoid burning?

@jshaaz I don't know if brown paper would help you or not. You might want to crush the paper up before you put it into the bread pan, so that it's irregular and there are some air spaces.

The important thing is to give a little insulation/air space, which I got by using the oatmeal. Give it a try and see what happens! I burned a few loaves figuring out this method- see what works for you. Good luck.

@beckyezra1

Do you mean a silicone pan?

I do use silicone pans in my electric oven to bake bread and I love using them- in the oven. For this stove-top method I only used metal pans, with the oil and oatmeal coating. I think the temperature might be too hot for a silicone pan on the top of the stove.

Thanks for showing us how you arrived at your preferred method of baking bread. I can see it's been trial and error for you and you have saved me a lot of trouble and given me confidence to have a go myself.
