Campfire cooking
twister dough
We think food tastes better outdoors! Try baking these breadsticks over a campfire
You will need
- 1 tsp dried yeast
- 300g flour
- 200ml warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Step one
Ask an adult to help!
Wash your hands, grab a large bowl and mix all the ingredients into a moist dough.
Step two
Cover the bowl and put it in a warm place to allow the dough to rise to about double the size. This usually takes about an hour.
Step three
While you wait, find, clean and dry your ‘cooking sticks’. Freshly cut sticks that are long enough to hold comfortably over the fire are best.
Step four
When the fire is ready, with lots of hot embers to cook on, tip the dough out onto a surface covered in flour and divide into six to eight equal pieces.
Step five
Roll each piece into a long ‘worm’. Then twist the dough around your cooking stick, pinching the ends together to secure it.
Step six
To cook, either hold or prop your stick over the hot embers. Don’t forget to rotate the stick to cook the dough all around. Let them cool down a bit before you eat them!
Top tip
Pair your twister dough with our spicy beans recipe. You can eat them straight from the pan using your twisters. It’ll be super-hot, but delicious!
