Cheesy Bonfire Bread Food

DANISH BONFIRE BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the water and dissolve the fresh yeast in it. If using dry yeast, add this together with the flour in step 2.
• Add the all-purpose flour, salt and sugar. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Add more flour if needed.
• Let the dough rise for minimum 30-45 minutes.
• Now roll large and thin bread 'sausages' and twist them around long wood sticks you have cut from trees.
• Finally bake the bread over a bonfire. You get the best twisted bread by baking them over hot embers.

BREAD BAKED OVER THE BONFIRE (DANISH 'SNOBROED')

Steps:

• In a big mixing bowl mix water and yeast. Let stand for 5 minute Stir until yeast is disolved.
• Add salt.
• Add flour a bit at a time. When dough becomes to heavy to stir, move to table and knead dough as long as you like. The consistency of the dough should not be sticky and should not be too dry. Once you can 'play ball' from hand to hand with the dough it should be fine. I make this also in a Kitchen Aid mixer which works well.
• Let rise for 30 min in warm place, cover with tea towel.
• Divide dough in 8 equal balls. Roll the balls into a long string, approx 15 inches long. Starting at top of stick wind the dough around the stick, making sure that the dough is connected and no bare spots show.
• Optional - first place hot dogs on stick and wrap the dough around hotdog from top to bottom making sure to fully cover hotdog. Same can be done with slice of ham.
• Cook over fire for approx 15 min or until bread has risen, is golden and sound hollow when you knock on it. Also, once it slides off easily it is usually done.
• You can now add ketchup, cheese, mustard down the middle hole.
