15/4-15: Throwback to: The time I was a scout

Efter vores backpackingtur til Cumberland Island i marts, havde Nadine og jeg fået utroligt meget lyst til at lave snobrød!

Så på en regnfuld onsdag havde vi fået lov til at lave lejrbål ude ved Jim og Theresa. 

Jim havde heldigvis sørget for lidt tørt brænde, og med lidt (meget) tændvæske lykkedes det at få lavet et flot bål..

Flora havde aldrig lavet snobrød før, men det er jo heldigvis ikke så svært ;-) 

Selvom jeg for det meste hader bål fordi tøj og hår altid kommer til at lugte så forfærdeligt, så er det nu altså meget hyggeligt når man kommer i gang :-)

After our backpacking trip to Cumberland Island in March, Nadine and I had gotten an incredible desire for making twist bread/snobrød/schlangenbrot!

So on a rainy Wednesday we had arranged with Jim and Theresa that we could make a bon fire out at the house. 

Luckily, Jim had made sure we had some dry firewood, and with a little bit (a lot) of lighter fuel, we finally got the fire going..

Flora had never made the bread before, but it is very easy ;-) 

I have no idea how common it is in the US, so in case it's not, here's how you do it: 

Dough: 

1 package of dry yeast dissolved in a bit of water with salt and sugar

1-2 tbsp. of salt

add flour and water until you have a good smooth dough (about 2 pounds of flour)

leave to rest for at least 1 hour

Twist the bread tightly around a stick, and bake the bread over the live coal - remember to turn it ;-) 

When the bread is ready it will sound hollow, and come off the stick fairly easy

Eat as is or with ketchup or butter

Even though I mostly hate bonfires because of the way it makes your hair and clothes smell, it is really nice once you are in it :-)
