METHOD:
- 1. Make your dough by mixing the Flour, Yeast, Sugar and Salt together. Add the Water bit for bit and start to knead, you will most likely not use all the water. Knead the dough until it is soft and elastic. Let this rise by covering the Dough with a plastic bag in a warm place.
- 2. Once the dough has doubled in size, knead again and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough in a big circle. This circle must be big enough to cover the inside of your potjie, and then still be able to close on top.
- 3. Spread Butter or Olive Oil at the bottom of your potjie and place your circle of dough inside the potjie.
- 4. Add all your Grated Cheese and any other ingredient you feel like adding to the inside of your bread.
- 5. Carefully take the ends of the dough and artfully arrange and close the top of the bread.
- 6. Place the potjie on the fire with medium heat and a few coals on top of the lid.
- 7. Bake the bread for about 30 minutes. Once the top is cooked and makes a hollow sound when you knock, you are ready to eat.
