Golden and crusty on the outside, soft and tender inside, and ridiculously easy to make. No yeast, no waiting for dough to rise and no complicated bread-making skills needed.
Just flour + salt + beer, mix it together, pop it in the oven and you’ve got homemade bread ready for the table. ![]()
And the best part… you can make it in a potjie too!
Perfect for those days when the fire is going, the potjie is on and everyone is gathered around outside. Just make sure you use a suitable pot with a lid and manage your coals carefully for even baking.
Want to take it up a notch? Add cheese and a little chopped biltong ![]()
Serve it warm with a generous smear of butter alongside your boerewors, steak, chops, sosaties or chicken… honestly, I could happily make a meal out of the bread alone! ![]()
My favourite tip: Brush the hot loaf with a little butter as soon as it comes out for an extra delicious, flavourful crust.
Save this recipe for your next braai or potjie day!
