Spiced apples

25 minutes

Ash bread and butter

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

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

Method

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.
