Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

  • 400 gram Water
  • 10 gram Yeast
  • 18 gram Salt
  • 12.5 gram Sugar
  • 90 gram Oil
  • 260 gram Wheat Flour stone ground flour, organic - can be substituted with other flour
  • 170 gram Tipo 00 Flour can be substituted with e.g. Manitoba flour

Instructions

  • I usually make my doughs with my stand mixer. You can, of course, knead it by hand as well.
  • First, mix yeast and lukewarm water together.
  • Stir in sugar, salt, and oil while mixing.
  • Add the first portion of flour while continuing to mix, then gradually add the remaining flour.
  • Continue until the dough reaches the right consistency. It should pull away from the sides.
  • Cover with a lid/kitchen towel and let it rise at room temperature. It can rise for as little as 30 minutes, but it can also rise for up to 2 hours if your schedule allows.
  • Now the bread is ready to be baked over your campfire.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on your hands and shape the bread around a stick or flatten it and place it on your grill grate.
  • Continuously turn the stick if it's twist bread and flip the bread on the grill when it releases easily. 
  • The "baking time" is impossible to describe; it depends on how hot your fire is and how close the dough is to the embers.
  • A good rule of thumb is that when you tap the bread, it should sound hollow. That's when you know it's done.
  • Enjoy your meal.
