Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 300 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Canola oil (for greasing hands and sticks)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk and butter until the butter is just melted. Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Gradually pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare your bonfire and ensure you have long wooden sticks (clean and sturdy) for baking the bread.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope (about 30-40 cm long).
Lightly grease your hands and the ends of the wooden sticks with canola oil. Wrap each dough rope around the greased end of the stick, overlapping slightly as you go to prevent gaps.
Hold the sticks over the hot embers of the bonfire (not the open flames) and rotate them slowly to ensure even cooking. The bread will slowly puff up and turn golden brown. This process takes about 10-15 minutes per stick, depending on the heat of the fire.
Once the bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped, carefully slide it off the stick. Serve warm and enjoy, optionally with butter, jam, or honey!
