Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (low sodium or sodium-free)
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Plain Greek yogurt (unsalted)
• 100 ml Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0 (optional to taste) Ground cinnamon or dried herbs (optional, for flavor)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. If you're using cinnamon or dried herbs for flavor, add them to the dry mixture at this stage.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the Greek yogurt, warm water, and honey to the flour mixture. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix everything until it forms a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a touch more flour.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 3 minutes until smooth.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a thick log about 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) long.

Step 6

Wrap each log of dough around the end of a clean, sturdy stick or skewer, ensuring the dough is evenly spiraled and pressed tightly to prevent it from slipping during cooking.

Step 7

Hold the dough-wrapped stick over glowing campfire embers or a barbecue (not direct flame) and rotate it slowly. Alternatively, you can bake the dough in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) by placing it on a lined baking tray and baking for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 8

Once cooked through and golden on the outside, let the stokbrood cool slightly before carefully sliding it off the stick or skewer.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your low-sodium campfire treat! Optional: pair with unsalted butter or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
