Ingredients

Method
  • 200 g brown flour
  • 120 g cake flour
  • 160 g digestive bran
  • 10 g instant yeast
  • ½ t salt
  • 3 T butter, cubed
  • 2 cups buttermilk

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, bran, yeast and salt before rubbing in the butter with your fingertips. Once the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, add the buttermilk and fold in well. Knead to make a dough, then divide into four balls. Using your hands, pull each one to create a rough oval shape.

Place on a sheet of tinfoil and wrap loosely before placing in a braai with smouldering cool coals. Cover the tops of the tinfoil parcels with more coals and bake for 45 minutes, or until cooked through and silky soft, without burning the bread. Serve warm with lashings of butter.
