Summertime Campfire Treat: Cinnamon Sugar Stick Bread

Posted by on May 24, 2012 in Snacks, Sweets, Yums | 3 comments

This weekend officially marks the start of summer in my neck of the woods, er, stretch of the beach. But we’re a camping family, too, and often enjoy replicating the comfort of a campfire in our backyard. This recipe for “bread on a stick” couldn’t be easier, and it’s quite delicious, too! Pull out those camp chairs, gather some wood, watch the fireflies come out, and get a jump start on your warm-weather memories. Hail to summer!

Serves: 4
 

This delicious, easy treat is fun to make and eat!
Ingredients
  • 2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅛ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 T cinnamon or more to taste
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ⅔ cup water

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine olive oil and water.
  3. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture and mix until a soft dough is formed.
  4. Use immediately or place in fridge or freezer for up to one week.
  5. To cook:
  6. Separate dough into 12 pieces, rolling each into a ball.
  7. Using your hands, roll each ball into a rope (thinner for crispy bread, thicker for doughy bread).
  8. Wrap each rope around a clean, thin, dry stick (Use a knife to remove any loose bark, mildew, etc.)
  9. Hold over the coals of a fire for about 5 minutes, turning until dough is browned on all sides.
  10. Slide the dough off the stick and enjoy!

Notes
Variation: For a savory stick bread, reduce the sugar to 5 T., omit the cinnamon, and add parmesan cheese, if desired.
