Winter is about comfort food. It’s the time of year for thick steaming stews, flavourful curries and piping hot potjies, and most of these dishes just wouldn’t be the same without a thick slice of fresh bread for dunking. Seeing as we’re in South Africa, your average run of the mill bread won’t really cut it. That’s why we’re put this beer bread recipe together for you, made the only way us Saffas know how… On the braai!

Ingredients:
- 750g self raising flour
