BREAD ON THE BRAAI

Yesterday with the weather being so stunning I decided to stay at home and braai instead of going out, my husband always wants to experiment so he decided to make mini springonion and sesame seed bread rolls on the braai and they were absolutely divine.

He made the bread dough and allowed it to prove, then he folded in fresh springonions and sesame seeds, rolled it out, brushed with olive oil then folded up and allowed to prove for a little while and then straight onto the braai.

They had such a stunning flavour from the springonion and toasted sesame seeds and then the smoky braai flavour, you should definitly try these at home.

RECIPE:

850g flour
50g bran
10g yeast
15g salt
15g sugar
350ml water
300ml milk
3 springonions
45g sesame seeds
olive oil

METHOD:
  • Heat the milk and water in a microwave for 1 minute, then add the sugar and the yeast and leave for 10 minutes.
  • In a kenwood combine the flour, bran and salt then add the wet mixture and mix until all combines then knead in the kenwood for 7 minutes, the dough should be pulling away from the sides and form a ball, if not add more flour or more liquid.
  • Cover the mixture and allow proving until double in size.
  • Cut the springonion, knock back the dough and fold in the springonions and sesame seeds.
  • portion into little balls, roll out and brush olive oil over then fold up and leave to prove for 15 minutes.
  • Place onto the braai but only turn when you see a golden crust forming on the bottom of the bread. Turn over and cook on the other side.
  • Serve hot with the meat and vegetables
