Yeast Dough Stick Bread

Put lukewarm water into a bowl and dissolve the fresh yeast in it. Add the olive oil and sugar and stir everything well.

Add the flour, salt, pepper, paprika and the herbs (parsley, rosemary, oregano, sage) to the liquid and knead into a smooth dough.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, until it has visibly increased in volume.

Briefly knead the dough again, divide it into portions and shape into strands about 25 cm long.

Wrap each dough strand spirally around a stick and press the ends firmly so the dough holds.

Bake the stick bread over the open fire or embers, turning continuously, until it is golden brown and crisp all around (about 15–20 minutes).
