Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, instant dry yeast, and sugar. Stir the dry ingredients until well mixed.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into six equal portions.
Roll each portion of dough into a long, thin sausage-like shape (about 25 cm/10 inches long), suitable for wrapping around a stick.
Wrap each dough rope spirally around a clean, long stick or skewer, leaving spacing between coils to allow the dough to expand during cooking.
Secure the ends of the dough to prevent it from unwinding while cooking.
Cook the stokbrood over an open fire (or grill) by rotating it slowly to ensure even cooking. The bread is ready when it's golden brown on the outside and cooked through, which typically takes about 8-10 minutes.
Serve the stokbrood warm with your favorite dairy-free spread, jam, or enjoy it plain.
