Bread on a stick is part of the campfire. This childhood memory can still make us happy as adults. And the best thing is: stick bread is so easy to make! Whether yeast dough or not, you can spice up stick bread with your favorite ingredients. Gluten-free and vegan variants are also possible.

Bread dough: recipe without yeast
If it has to be quick and you don’t have time to “wait” for the yeast dough, you can also prepare stick bread dough without yeast. Here it is important to knead the dough really well so that it becomes airy.
For 10 to 15 stick breads you need:
400 grams of flour
1 tsp salt
2 teaspoons of baking soda
50 g fat (oil or vegan margarine)
220 ml plant drink or milk
If you’re using margarine, let it melt.
Meanwhile mix the dry ingredients together.
Add the plant drink and fat and knead well (about 10 minutes).
Done: Divide the dough and wrap it around the stick.
Hold the stick bread over the embers until it is golden brown on the outside, similar to the crust of regular bread.
Tip: You can incorporate herbs, olives or even vegetables of your choice into the stick bread dough. So you have a little variety around the campfire. You can also prepare sweet stick bread with cinnamon and sugar, for example. Simply add a pinch of salt to the batter and add sugar and cinnamon. Chocolate drops or garlic cloves are also good in stick bread dough.
Classic stick bread recipe
Classically, stick bread dough is a yeast dough. You should plan a little time for this so that it can go.
For the yeast dough you need:
400 grams of flour
1/2 cube of fresh yeast or 1 packet of dry yeast
1 pinch of sugar
2 tsp salt
250 ml lukewarm milk or plant drink
To stimulate the yeast, you must first mix the yeast, sugar, and lukewarm milk in a bowl.
Add 200 grams of flour and let it rise for half an hour.
Now mix the remaining flour with the salt and fold it into the yeast-milk mixture.
Knead everything well and let the stick bread dough rise in a warm place for about one to two hours.
Divide the dough into small portions and wrap it around sticks: your stick bread is ready.
