Ingredients
1kg Snowflake Cake Wheat Flour
10ml Salt
30ml Sugar
10ml instant dry yeast
30ml cooking oil
750ml lukewarm water
Method
- Sift flour and salt together. Add sugar and yeast.
- Add oil and enough lukewarm water, cut in with a knife and mix to a soft, sticky dough. Add more water, if necessary
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 mins, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 mins, or until doubled in size.
- Knock down dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide into 6 - 10 pieces and form into rectangles.
- Place onto greased baking trays. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 15 mins or until balls of dough are well risen.
- Bake over coals on a braai grid or in an unoiled griddle pan on the stovetop until done.
- Serve warm with butter, cheese and jam. For a sweet version serve with chocolate spread.
