Twist bread Twist bread Twist bread, stokbrood, or campfire bread is a type of bread in which the dough has been rolled into a long sausage shape, twisted over the end of a stick, and baked over an open fire. The dough is an ordinary bread dough, usually with yeast as a leavening agent but baking powder may also be used. The ideal stick is fairly straight and made of hardwood that will not impart a disagreeable taste; for example, birch or a nut tree. The length depends on one's comfort and the fire's size. The thickness of the bread-holding end is
Bread contains three water-soluble protein groups (albumin, globulin, and proteoses) and two water-insoluble protein groups (glutenin and gliadin). When flour is mixed with water, the water-soluble proteins dissolve, leaving the glutenin and gliadin to form the structure of the resulting bread. When relatively dry dough is worked by kneading, or wet dough is allowed to rise for a long time (see no-knead bread), the glutenin forms strands of long, thin, chainlike molecules, while the shorter gliadin forms bridges between the strands of glutenin. The resulting networks of strands produced by these two proteins are known as gluten. Gluten development improves if
