Stokbrood

Stokbrood, or stick bread in English, are strips of bread dough wound around green sticks and cooked on the braai grid over the coals. They are always popular with the children. Sticks can be cut from bushes in the garden or in the veld – just make sure the bushes you take the sticks from are not poisonous, like oleander, for example. Usually sticks with bark need to have the bark removed or the bread will cook firmly onto the stick. You could also use doweling rods, but these will need to be soaked in water so that they do not burn.

Ingredients:

200ml water

1 litre basic bread ready-mix

Method:

Mix the ingredients together to make a dough and knead until elastic. Break off a piece of dough and roll it into a thin sausage. Wrap the sausage around a stick and braai it over moderate coals for 20 minutes, turning from time to time to brown all the way around.
