Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 7 grams Instant dry yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant dry yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 2
2. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to form a shaggy dough.
Step 3
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if the dough is too sticky, but avoid adding too much to keep the dough soft.
Step 4
4. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
Step 5
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any excess air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a long, thin rope about 30–40 cm long.
Step 6
6. If cooking outdoors, wrap the dough ropes around long, clean sticks or skewers. If baking indoors, preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F), and wrap the dough ropes around metal skewers or baking-safe rods.
Step 7
7. Cook the stokbrood over a campfire or grill, rotating frequently to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, place the skewers on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
8. Serve the stokbrood warm with your choice of sugar-free spreads, dips, or alongside soups and stews. Enjoy!
