Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 10 g Instant yeast
- 5 g Salt
- 10 g Sugar
- 325 ml Warm water
- 10 ml Olive oil
- 1 small amount Non-stick vegetable oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands to form a sticky dough.
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead it on a clean, floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl (use non-stick vegetable oil spray to keep it low fat). Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any excess air and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope-like shape, about 20 cm (8 inches) long.
Wrap each dough rope around a clean, greased skewer or stick, overlapping slightly to ensure it stays secure while cooking.
If cooking over a campfire, hold the stokbrood over medium flames, rotating frequently for even cooking. If cooking at home, preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and place the skewers on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with your favorite low-fat toppings or enjoy it plain as a light, flavorful snack.
