Sugar Bay Beach Bread Recipe

At Sugar Bay, we encourage our campers to get inventive with their hands. We're always getting creative with our hands by creating Arts and Crafts and taking Cooking & Baking classes. One of our favourite ways to do this is by making what we call “Beach Bread”. 

 

Yes, it's pretty much what it's called… Beach Bread is indeed Bread on the Beach! 

  

It's a tradition at Sugar Bay to head down to the Zinkwazi lagoon, go fishing, start a braai, and make beach bread. 

There's nothing better than delicious homemade bread – camp style. 

 

Now you can make your very own bread at home, just as we did at camp. 

 

Here's how we create Sugar Bay Beach Bread;

Beach Bread Recipe: 
You will need:

• 4 cups white bread flour
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method:

1. Measure out all the ingredients into a large bowl and combine them together using your hands.

2. Leave for 10 minutes then knead again for about 2 minutes. 

 

3. Leave for another 10 minutes then knead again 1 minute.

4. Leave the dough in a warm place for 30 minutes, with a clean cloth covering the top of the bowl.

5. Afterward, knead lightly and shape the dough into the desired shape (usually the shape of a bread roll).

6. Send a skewer through your bread roll, and leave to rest for 10 minutes. 

 

7. Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes/until the crust is golden brown in colour.

Note: 

We usually bake our bread over the open fire in an uncontrolled temperature. However, you can bake your bread using your gas ovens at home at a set temperature of 180 degrees Celsius.

And that's how we make our very popular Beach Bread – Camp Style! 

 

Yum!
