Introduction: Camping Twisted Bread/ Schlangen Brot
Hmmm freshly baked bread in a campfire without any utensils , just on a stick. Yes as wild it may sound, is even tastier and easier to make.
Step 1:
the day prior to our camping date,I prepare the dough. It has the very basic ingredients
Ingredients:
500gm bread flour
1sachet instant yeast
1tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1Tbs oil/ melted butter
2-3dl warm water or milk.
Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Knead the dough to a soft yet firm consistency. keep kneading for around 4-5 minutes. Place it in a bowl or better a box with a lid which you can carry along. Make sure the box is big enough leaving room for the dough to rise.
Step 2:
At the camp site:
once the fire has been lit, collect long sticks...I would suggest around 3 feet and of a thickness of an adult finger.
With your hand scoop out a handful of dough.Using both hands elongate the dough and then twist it,wrapping around the stick at one end.
Thats it!!!
Step 3: Baking
Holding the free end of the stick hold the bread over the flames or if you have a grill place it on the grill.
Make sure you keep turning the bread so that it is done in all directions.
In a very short time around 7-8minutes you should see a brownish crust being formed. When the crust is on all the sides of the bread your bread is ready!!
Alterations: you could add herbs or spices like cumin or oregano to the bread dough before baking.
You can also wrap the dough around a sausage to get a sausage twisty.
