A promotional article on the Profi Grill says its indirect zone can bake pizza, bread, and roasted vegetables under a lid or foil dome.
news.climate.columbia.edu · Why the Profi Grill Dominates Modern Outdoor CookingThe baking tip for the Profi Grill appears in a promotional article about the grill, not in independent testing. The article says the grill, although it was not built to be an oven, can handle some baking tasks.
The foods it names are pizza, bread, and roasted vegetables. They belong in the indirect heat zone, which the article describes as using "reflected heat from a heat shield or insulated chamber."
The article says the direct zone sits over a very hot wood or charcoal fire. That split is what lets cooks sear on one side while cooking more gently on the other.
For baking, the article says to cover the grill with a lid. The lid holds warmth around the food so it cooks through uniformly.
It offers a foil tent as another option. The article calls it a makeshift dome, and says it also holds warmth in for uniform results. To try the article's method, place pizza, bread, or roasted vegetables in the indirect zone and cover them with the lid or the foil dome.
