4 T sugar
2 T salt
3 cups flour

10 g chili flakes
25 g Woolworths biltong powder

Cooking Instructions

1. Mix the yeast and 1 T of sugar into a small bowl and then add some of the water allowing the yeast to activate for 5 minutes or until bubbling.

2. Mix all the dry ingredients together, making sure that it is mixed properly.

3. Slowly start pouring in the wet ingredients whilst mixing with a wooden spoon, once the dough has come together. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and allow to prove for 1 hour.

4. Once it has proved, place onto a lightly floured surface and knock it down. Roll it out into a rectangle.

5. Spread the WW sundried tomato pesto, cheddar cheese, feta cheese and then top with the finely chopped biltong.

6. Roll the dough into a cylinder and then cut it into half, length wise and then knot/braid the two halves. Place into a loaf tin and allow to rise until doubles in size. Once doubled, place into the oven and bake at 180ºC for 25 – 30 minutes.

7. Serve with chili biltong butter.
