5 things you can bake beyond bread in an OTG

Baking is therapeutic. It is something magical, where ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and butter come together to create something warm, comforting, and full of joy. Also, it is not just a cooking process; it’s an experience that engages all the senses. When it comes to baking, the OTG (Oven Toaster Grill) is an ideal option, and the first dish that comes to mind is bread. But this versatile appliance can do so much more than just loaves and buns. From beginners to experts, everyone can use this appliance to whip up a variety of delicious dishes that go far beyond the basics. Take a look at things you can bake in an OTG beyond bread.

If you thought the OTG is only for bread loaves and buns, then you need to try cookies and biscuits. From classic chocolate chip to oatmeal, butter cookies, or even healthier millet-based options, one can make all types of cookies in an OTG. According to experts, the OTG helps balance crispiness and a chewy centre. Try it, and trust us it is one of the most rewarding things to bake in an OTG.

If pasta and lasagna are your comfort food, make them even cheesier and simply bake them in an OTG. You can make cheesy penne, macaroni, or layered lasagna in an OTG and it will give you the perfect golden-brown top layer of cheese melted to perfection creating that irresistible crust. Try it!

Yes, you can make delicious and crispy pizza in an OTG. All you need to do is preheat the OTG properly to achieve a base that’s crisp on the outside and soft inside. From classic margherita, veggie-loaded, or paneer tikka pizza, the OTG allows you to customise toppings just the way you like and it's addictive.

If you are a healthy eater, you can also roast veggies. Toss vegetables like potatoes, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, and broccoli in olive oil, salt, and herbs, then bake them until tender and slightly charred. OTG is said to enhance their natural sweetness and give them a smoky flavour.

OTG also makes for a great appliance for baking savoury dishes like pies and quiches. From vegetable quiche with a creamy filling to chicken pie with a flaky crust, you can do it all in the OTG and you won't be able to stop at one.
