Instructions

1. 1
   Combine flour, sugar, oil, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add 1 cup water and start kneading. Continue kneading and adding water until you get an even dough that is very slightly sticky. Knead dough for 10 more minutes, or longer if you have the time and patience.
2. 2
   Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl; cover and let rise in a warm area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3. 3
   Have a few longish sticks or branches ready, about the thickness of a hotdog. Tear off a fistful of dough, roll it into a ball, then flatten it into a 4-inch round. Roll dough around the end of the stick, so the edges will overlap.
4. 4
   Put the dough end of the stick in the campfire. Try to find a hot area that is not actually burning. Cook, turning every so often, until bread is dark on the outside and slides easily off the stick, about 10 minutes.
