Mosbolletjies
Mosbolletjies, recipe submitted by Yvette Antoinette von Solms Special Federweisser Mosbolletjie Recipe from Cathy’s Ouma Ingredients(for 3 large bread pans — you can adjust the proportions for a smaller batch if desired)3 kg cake flour3 cups sugar (I usually take 1 cup because the Federweisser is already so sweet)3 tsp salt⅓ cup aniseed250 g butter1 litre Federweisser and enough milk to make a total of 1.8 L of waterFor the glaze: 100 ml milk¼ cup sugar (I use about half of the sugar)Mix the flour, sugar, salt and aniseed in a deep mixing bowl.Melt the butter and add the Federweisser and lukewarm milk to it.Combine the liquids with the dry ingredients and knead well for about 30 min.Allow the dough to rise overnight in the bowl. You may want to cover it with a lid (like a plate) and keep it somewhere warm.On the next morning, knock down the dough (a fancy way of saying knead it again), and separate the dough into three equal pieces (you can weigh it to ensure that all three are the same). Preheat the oven to 180 ºC.Roll out each of the three pieces of dough and then divide each of the three pieces into 12 buns. These will bake together and rise out of the top of the bread pan.Bake for 30 min at 180 ºC and then turn down the oven to 140 ºC and bake for another 40 min. Use a skewer to check that the mosbolletjies are baked through before removing them from the oven.Turn the mosbolletjies out onto a drying rack and then glaze (as per the recipe above) the top while still warm.Allow to cool completely.Eat with butter and jam/cheese or dry in the oven for rusks (mosbeskuit; 50 ºC for 6 hours).

South African ‘Roosterkoek’
Roosterkoek: The Heartbeat of Every Braai Golden, smoky, and straight from the coals — nothing says “home” quite like fresh roosterkoek. This fire-kissed bread roll brings comfort to expats and newcomers alike. From the sizzling grills of the Karoo to a chilly balcony braai in Berlin, roosterkoek delivers the unmistakable taste of South African tradition. Soft on the inside, charred and crusty on the outside, it’s made for butter, braaivleis, or just tearing apart while it’s still warm. Roosterkoek Ingredients: 1kg white bread flour 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp. sugar 10g instant dry yeast 60g butter, cut into small cubes 600 ml lukewarm water Getting it done: Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast together Add the butter into the flour mixture, rubbing with your fingertips until mixture resembles crumbs. Add the water to the dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a large greased bowl. Cover with cling wrap and allow to stand in a warm place until doubled in size. Knead the dough again and shape into 12 balls. Place them onto a greased pan and allow them to stand for a further 10 minutes. Flatten the balls slightly and sprinkle with a little flour. Cook over low fire for 10 minutes on each side. Tap the ‘roosterkoek’ with your fingers and if it makes a hollow sound, it’s done. Related content
