The best sticks for stick bread
Hazelnut, willow and beech wood are ideal. Important: Stay away from yew or elder, they are poisonous. Suitable sticks can be bought at the hardware store. Also at the local carpenter there are often cheap wood scraps. Before grilling, sharpen the end of the stick with a sharp knife and remove the bark. The sticks can be used several times.
