camp bread...
Me and my old man made this about 20 years ago out of necessity, we forgot the baking sheet for our camp oven and had no other utensils.
We were cooking a rotisserie chicken (i made a spit out of some branches) and had some Pillsbury canned breadsticks to go with it. Our intention was to cook them in the Coleman camp oven that fits on the 2 burner camp stove, but we forgot the innards of the oven.
- go get a sapling about 1 inch in diameter and about 3 feet long
- strip the bark off the sappling and whittle one end to a sharp point
- rub the sappling with butter or spray with cooking spray
- wrap the breadsticks around the sapling
- put the sharp end in the ground near the fire....
Judging the right temp is not hard to do. There is an old boy scout trick that will help you get the temp right. you want these to cook at a medium high heat, so hold your palm in the area your bread will cook and see how long you can tolerate the heat. about 2 seconds is right. One second is HIGH heat, and = about 425 degrees. 3 seconds is medium and is about 325 to 350.
Turn the stick frequently and cook till golden.
I'm sure you can figure out the rotisserie chicken...just rub it down with salt and pepper, perhaps some paprika and start spinning it over the fire till all the juices run clear. a small chicken will cook in abour 45 mins to an hour over a HOT fire (no flames...just HOT coals)
Happy cookin people...i have LOTS more recipes and i'll only share one more right now
