This is what I love most about bushcraft. All over the world people are doing the same thing and creating the same memories for the next generation of young bushcrafters. Regardless of what language we speak, we're all connected. Happy trails every one❤️.

Here in Norway they call it "pinnebrød" which literally means "stickbread". Good video, really liked it!!

I’ve always used dry complete pancake mix. It has leavening ingredients as well as powdered milk. A favorite for the kids was add a small amount of sugar or very lightly drizzle with honey just after it’s browning, The honey soaks in and browns up. Each kid got their own stick so there’s really no mess. They love to participate, and learn patience. It requires supervision and attention. They enjoy that too and learning many things in the process.

In Australia we'd do this 'damper' except put it right at end, covering the the end of stick. Then when you pull it off you've got a little pocket, which you can put butter and golden syrup into - delicious!

When I was a kid we would play out in the woods in summer. Sometimes we would bring flower, water, soda and salt and bake 'schlangenbrot', literally 'snakebread', just like you showed here. Ambrosia ... even better together with Servelat (Swiss National Sausage) and fire rosted corn cobs, 'liberated' from a near by field ...

If you want it to be less bland, a *LITTLE* bit of salt mixed in (when first adding the water) can go a long way! :-)

Add a hotdog, then wrap with the dough - boom! Pigs in a blanket. 👍

Being an old-timer I remember it as Bannock. Simple, good eats.

If you are a canadian of a certain age you might remember a native father and son on sesame street making these. They put jam on them after they were made . Looked so delicious

Great vid. Brings back old memories. We made this at Boy Scout camp in 1963. We used Bisquick. I still keep some in my pack.

Bannock is what I call any water/flour mix cooked directly over the campfire, whether ash cakes or stick wrapped or fried.

Memories flowing from 6th grade outdoor school in Oregon, 46 years ago. We did that over fires on a day hike. I still remember it being some of the best bread I have ever tasted. Thanks Dan!

Great video, thanks for this. Only thing I would add is we were always told to take the bark off any stick we used for cooking just in case anything nasty was on its surface. Enjoyed the other cooking suggestions as well 👍

In south africa we call it "stokbrood", stick bread. I remember we as kids got the dough from the grown ups, ran to get appropriate sticks, cooked it over the fire like smores, pulled the stick out and filled the inside with syrup! Yum.

I’m glad you started with the most basic form of bannock, that’s why I enjoy your content.

Cool…Our traditional Somali bread is cooked directly on the coal. It’s call bur xabaal (prounced Habaal). It literally means baried dow. We also transfer the hot sand onto a wooden bowl made for rocking a vessel to churn goat milk to make ghee and yogurt to cook popcorn and a variety of other things like taking the skin off of beans for flower to make porridge. Heck we even cook meat directly on the coal by putting all the meat of the dear or goat inside the skin of the slaughter animal then barying it in the sand and charcoal. Fried coffee beans , roasted popcorn, roast watermelon seeds mixed and a cup of tea with fresh goat milk and it’s a feast….Somali Style and sleeping under the stars with no roof or walls and let the fresh breeze rock you to sleep. Thanks Dude….stay safe.

That was a really oddly specific way to describe what the embers look like, but I totally got it. Nicely done

Used to make them in the Boy Scouts here in the U.K. 50 years ago! We called them “Twists”! Delicious with jam!

My family has been doing that forever . We call it mooshie moos. Bit of cheese,sausage. Just a fun thing to do. With what ever you have. Italian seasoning? Sure,why not. Butter and honey,you bet. Just such a great base,to add whatever you want. Sweet? Sure! Savoury! Why not. Damn,getting hungry

Love to see, from all the answers, that it is an aspect of life in the woods that is shared in many countries. Thanks all for sharing your local version of the thing. To @ Coalcracker Bushcraft : more recipes in the woods please!

I love these types of videos. My Grandma (depression era) had these kind of skills and taught them to me when I was a kid.

Stockbrot in German / Swissgerman. The favorite of my children!

Love this. I learned 60 years ago how to make this.

We used to do that as well, but before wrapping the dough around the stick, we would use the stock and skewer a piece of sauceage on to it, cook that, and then wrap the dough around the cooked sauceage. And basicly make a wrapped hotdog

God I remember doing this in Scouts, brings back happy memories 😃😃😃😃

I just made fry bread at home on my stove using this method in butter. Very easy to do and delicious. Thank you Coalcracker.

I thought I knew a little about bushcraft since I spend more time in the woods than anybody I know. After watching half a dozen of Coalcracker Bushcraft vid's, I was right, I know little. I would bing watch the rest today but I'm head outside just as soon as I subscribe, share with a dozen friends and find out what boilo is.

Ah yes, making Stockbrot on a raging campfire is one of my fondest childhood memories! But tbh, no need to be technical about it, we always just put it at the end of the stick and held it near the fire somewhere where there were embers.

In sweden we Call it "Stickbread" (in swedish 😅). I like adding cheese in the "doe" before putting it on the stick. Some ppl like to add cinnamon and sugar.

ANOTHER ONE : One thing I learned as a kid... rap on the tip of the stick starting at the bottom and work up.. after cooked it will make a dough cup that makes for a great option to put a filler in... we always put chocolate pudding inside.!!

in Poland we call them "Jaszczury" it means "saurian" it's meal from medieval times from Masuria region. Usually filled with mushrooms. Really good,

Also I see in old survival/ camp books how you take flour a jar put about a 1/4 of full flour, eggs in the shell then dump more flower repeat, thick layers of flour and eggs and the flour protects the eggs and lard for just about all cooking hahaha some cool old tricks

Another one of many great vids from this excellent channel ! Thank you Dan for all the valuable bush lore you've been sharing with your viewers for all these years. ATB

Might be worth mentioning, you dont want to cook directly on or above resinous woods. Great video, keep em comin!! 🤘🏼🔥

I remember making that back in Scouts! Going to have to do that with my daughter!

Sticky dough can benifit from simply standing lightly covered for 20-30 minutes, the extra time allows the starch in the flour to absorb more of the water, so if you've run out of flour and aren't quite there time is on yourside.

Nice idea, will try it with the kids this weekend. Keep well, Rob

Bannock. Canadian biscuits. Always a fan favorite

In South Africa it's called 'Stokbrood' (Stick Bread) .. so original 😊.

ok best line ever, "we will call it stick bread because that is a very appropate name for what we just did."

You mention that you've seen this in old Scout manuals. I think I'm going to try this at home and if I can get it to work, show it to our Scouts on our next campout.

We used to do something like that in Ontario when I was a kid, and I remember calling them "doughboys".

Love your content, humour, and practicality, I’ll catch up with you one day mate🤙🏽🇦🇺

I really like to flatten the dough out like your Ash cakes the put small pieces of banana & chocolate in the centre. Fold the dough over like a calzone & pinch the edges together. Its a great little dessert

The old boy scout books (pre-1930) said you could create a dough by simply pouring water into the top of an open flour sack and stirring with a clean stick. Supposedly the water would soak exactly the right amount of flour to make a dough. Unfortunately, nobody goes camping with sacks of flour, anymore.

Love that stick bread! Hardly ever get into the woods 😞 ... I love the woods more than anywhere. Learning a lot from your videos, your funny upbeat personality puts a smile on my face, and I'm checking out things on walks that I try to take daily. Thanx 👍 Good bug out thinking of needed and collecting essential items in my bags.

if you make rings instead of balls, and you boil them and then bake them, you've made bagels. sesame seeds weigh next to nothing but they're a nice touch on a bagel.

Recipe for camp dough bread just 4 you. One cup flour. 1/4 cup water. tea spoon salt. mix to dough consistency. roll out like a snake and wind around a debarked stick and roast over coals till toasty brown. gather some wild Ramps( garlic) add some olive oil to a few hand fulls add some toasted sunflower seeds along with a little pepper. use a small cook pot and blunt stick to mash all this into a paste, AKA Pesto. dip your roasted bread into the garlic pesto and you are in for a wilderness treat, delicious

In Australia it is called “damper”

I love how every video you do I learn something and end up smiling along the way

Back when I was younger and did a fair amount of backpacking, I used to premix some bread, less the water. Flour, salt, soda... mix up on the trail and cook. Bread is always good for the soul.

I always enjoy your videos and I learn quite a bit. Next time with the grandkids I plan on making this with them. Thank you for sharing all you do

"Snobrød" we call it in Denmark : meaning spin/twist bread.. 😎

I remember doing this as a Boy Scout. This brings back great memories.

Did this and modified by cutting in some pemmican before adding the water. Thanks, Dan!

"That campfire taste " you said it sir! I can taste it from here hahaha

Looks great! Drove from my home and Easton to Duryea to buy komensky's kielbasa today. Great to be in the coal region. OG coalcracker

Kephart says: remove the bark and heat the stick to sizzling before rapping the dough. Nessmuk called it club bread.

We called it 'twist on a stick'. It was always raw on the inside, usually charred/smoked black on the outside. We weren't very disciplined.

Useful dough tip: The stickier the dough the fluffier the bread. The best texture of dough is one that is technically sticky but as our man said, you don't want it to actually stick to your hand. More like "pull away" Adding some fat or oil to the dough before you cook it will make it fluffier as it cooks too. The water and fat/oil fight each other on who can evaporate first and it forms bubbles. With those two tips just about anyone can make a good bread with practice. Love this video!!!

We always added a leavener or used pancake premix. We called them stick biscuits

Thank you for the simplicity with this bread 🥖

Awesome cooking videos! I do this with pepperoni and cheese inside. 🧀 🥖 🌲

I think stick bread represents the dividing line between smoothing it and roughing it. If you screw it up it'll become roughing it. If you don't you'll be the hit around the campfire.

If you put in mashed potatoes to this, you have Potato Bread. An Irish favorite. Also called Potato farls...Then heat in in a frying pan...

Ooh Yeah Delish video! I want a hot dog in the buttery dough wrap! Lol

This Video Rock, Thank You For Posting It !

We call it stick bread to here in Hungary😎. Very good and fun to make it!

I used to take krusteze biscuit mix that has everything already mixed into it, put it into a quart sized ziplock bag and let people mix it themselves and put it on a stick, cook over a camp fire and serve with BBQ sauce, cheese sauce or what ever you like to dip your bread in. I like garlic butter. Great for camping or back packing. Pack dry ingrediencies in a vacuum sealed bag for long term and to keep it dry if your gear gets wet.

We call it "Stockbrot" in Germany. Stickbread!

The Native American People make Bannock... its awesome & everyone should know how to do that... it is kind of like the fry bread you mentioned & with raw organic honey on it once it is done- it is excellent food!

You can use the fire for the stick bread as it was shown. Place your hand ✋️ up to the fire and move your hand towards it until it starts to feel "too hot". That's about 375* and you can cook the bread in that area.

Great video! I remember doing this at summer camp using Bisquick ,on a stick. Delicious!

Thanks Dan!!

Excellent ideas. I've made bread at camp before, but never thought about making dumplings, I'll give that a try.

Hey! Your back! Time to grab my pack, *see you in the woods*

Add a little corn meal and a pinch of any spicey or wild greens.

reminds me of roman legion cooking. makes me wonder their ways of doing it

In the scouts we wrap the dough around a hot dog or brat and cook that over a fire.

You can also just cook flatbreads in a dry frying pan over low heat. You don't need oil. I do it at home in a stainless steel skillet on my electric stove. It's faster and more energy efficient than heating up an oven.

Awesome video as always. Yes, put some flour aside and sprinkle a little at a time if you put too much water in the mix. Too much water and you might as well make pancakes. I made bannock on a stick and it was good. Stay safe and be well. Thanks for sharing.

Just a suggestion, when my best friend and I used to go camping, we'd roll the dough out like you did and flatten it a little bit. Roll it up around a hot dog on a stick, and off ya go.

Where I live, we call that bread 'Bannock,' and do it in all the same ways. When the nearby First Nations do it in a pan, they call it 'frybread.' Anything cooked over an open fire is 5-star food, as far as I'm concerned.

Definitely gunna try this on my next camping trip

You can add a small dab of shortening, bacon grease, or butter to the dough then form the roll, big improvement from the fat. Got the recipe for this 40 yrs ago in a book we got for my sons on Smokey Bear thus called Smokey Bear bread. Made many times camping and over a charcoal barbecue- great stuff.

Good show!

Thank you my friend for sharing this cooking tip, great idea. All the best to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy. 🤗

This takes me back to childhood. Here in South Africa stick bread (stokbrood) is a camping staple. Grown ups would give us the dough (with a few extra ingredients than here), we'd go find a stick and bake it over the fire. Really yummy with some syrup!

I did this 55 years ago when I was in scouts. Back then, we called it twist. An easy shortcut was to use Bisquick (premixed biscuit mix in a foil pouch).

Your can also cook it on a thin rock. The rock heats up from the flames and put the mixture on the rock.

We make boiled peach dumplings. Make the same dough. Open up a 1lb 13oz can of peaches and get them boiling with the juice in a pan with a lid. Drop dough balls on top and cover about 15 18 min. Really good 👍

On another channel I saw them make the same thing, then pull the bread off the stick still all together and they put a hot dog were the stick was. Hot dog and a bun.

Love bannock while camping. Add cinnamin suger for a bushcraft doughnut. You sound like Allen Alda from Mash.

Everything on a fire taste great!

We’d wrap it to the end of the stick and enclose it so it’s a sick. Wen done you can fill it with honey, jam, chocolate, etc. It was a great campfire treat besides just s’mores.

love the last one heard it was called damper i learnt how to make it but never actually saw the practical which really helps understand how you actually have to do it love the name stick bread by the way sounds way better than damper

Very interesting and glad you down loaded a couple videos.

try forming it over the end of a stick about 3/4 the thickness of your wrist, and after you cook it to hold its shape, use it for hot chocolate or put smore stuff inside it for non graham cracker mess smores. and less dishes. I love eating cereal out of it in the morning when car camping, and then eating the bowl.

Its real close to Bannock bread. If you were to mix flour, salt, spices & carry in a sack, then later on all you have to add is water. It can be cooked any way you like. On a flat rock, in a pan, or around a stick. A favorite is to erect a stack of rocks resembling a pizza oven w/a flay rock in the middle and you are all set

Missed you man. I was all crying and crap. Love some Dan videos in fall and I'm going to make some of this.
