Snobrød (Danish Bonfire Bread)
A warm twisted Danish bread on a stick cooked on a bonfire
Ingredients
- 500 g wheat flour
- 25 g yeast
- 3 dl water
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon Jam optional filling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add 25 grams of yeast and 3 dl(1.2 cups) of lukewarm water and stir them together. Once they are incorporated, add a tablespoon of oil
- Add 1 teaspoon coarse salt then gradually add the flour before kneading the dough until everything is fully incorporated.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for around an hour. The size should double in size as a result.
- For the sticks, they should approximately be 1.20 metes long and around a centimeter thick. Make sure to cut 25 cm from the tip and the stick should be able to support the twisted dough.
- Divide the dough into 10 pieces and roll each into a thin strip then wrap it around the stick.
- Keep a good distance from the flames and make sure that the dough is over the embers and not the flames. This will help prevent any potential burning.
- Roast the dough for about 10 minutes. It should be done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bread.
- Repeat the process for all ten pieces until you achieve a golden brown coloring on all pieces.
