Perfect for cozy campfire gatherings or backyard barbecues, Traditional Stokbrood is a Dutch-inspired treat that's as fun to make as it is delicious to eat. This rustic bread dough, crafted with simple ingredients like all-purpose flour, yeast, and olive oil, is wrapped around sticks or skewers and cooked directly over glowing embers for that irresistible smoky flavor. With its golden, crispy exterior and fluffy interior, stokbrood makes for an interactive cooking experience that brings family and friends together. Serve it warm with butter, cheese, or sweet preserves for a versatile side that pairs beautifully with both savory dishes and sweet indulgences. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and fans of traditional recipes, this stokbrood recipe is a delightful way to elevate your next barbecue or campfire feast.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and granulated sugar.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients while stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead in the bowl until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, knead on a lightly floured surface for the same amount of time.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air, then transfer it to a floured surface and divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion of dough into a long, thin rope about 30 cm (12 inches) in length.
Wrap each dough rope around the end of a sturdy grilling skewer or stick, ensuring the dough is secure and slightly overlapping.
Grease the wrapped skewers lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
Prepare a fire or barbecue grill, allowing the flames to die down so there is a moderate amount of hot embers.
Hold the skewers over the embers, rotating them slowly to cook the bread evenly. Cooking time should be around 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Once cooked, carefully remove the stokbrood from the skewers and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy the stokbrood plain or with your favorite toppings such as butter, cheese, or preserves.
