This bread is warm, soft and utterly fluffy! Enjoy it with braaied meat, or any meal where you plan to serve bread. Be creative with the seasonings – the options are endless! Caramelised onions will be delicious in this bread dough. Alternatively, add cooked bacon, cheese, sliced jalapeños, fresh herbs, olives, peppers, sundried tomatoes, spinach or feta, or any combination of these. This version is seasoned with some true South African flavours, by combining Peppadews® and cheese. It’s so good. Have a warm slice, straight from the pot, just with some butter … yum!

This traditional South African sweet treat is actually very simple to make and ever so popular. Use my added twist and get creative by using different types of jams for the filling. A homemade pastry will be ideal, but I used a good-quality shop-bought short crust pastry and it works really well. Just follow the steps to blind bake the pastry cups first, for the best, flaky results.

’n Kleurvolle kombinasie van slaaibestanddele met botterbone as die proteïen. Die geure van die tuisgemaakte slaaisous is heerlik met die bone. Moenie in die versoeking kom om die slaai saam met brood te eet nie, want dis vullend genoeg soos dit is. Enige oorskiet-slaai is perfek vir ’n kosblik.

Have you also tried the famous baked feta idea that took social media by storm earlier this year? How about trying this version: Lentils with baked feta and tomatoes? It’s really delicious and a fabulous vegetarian meal or tasty side dish. My version of this recipe was developed for AMC Cookware and is so easy.
