Roosterkoek

Roosterkoek


Recipe
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
10 g packet instant yeast
1 cup warm water

Method
Sieve the flour into a large bowl.
Add the salt, sugar and instant yeast and stir to mix.
Slowly add enough of the water to bring the mixture together into a dough.
The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough for a few minutes by hand.
Form the dough into a ball and place in a bowl.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place until doubled in size.
Knead the dough back into a ball and divided evenly into 10 or 12 pieces. Or roll dough out to 1/2 inch thick and cut into squares. 
Place the roosterkoek pieces on a tray lined with baking paper and leave to rise again for a few minutes.
Cook the roosterkoek on a grid over medium heat coals, turning occasionally until cooked through.
Serve hot straight off the coals with your favourite Biltong Canada Boerewors, or serve warm with butter, jam or syrup and cheese.
