Method
- Place the flour, salt, butter, nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Mix the butter into the flour using either your hands or the paddle attachment for the mixer.
- Put the warm water in a bowl, add the yeast, 1 tsp sugar and whisk. Set it aside to froth. This may take up to 15 minutes.
- Now add this to the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated.
- Add water and mix the flour into a dough.
- Knead the dough until it is very elastic.
- Grease a glass bowl with butter. Roll the dough into a ball and place in the greased bowl. Rub the dough with the butter and turn the dough up, so the buttered face is up.
- Cover the bowl with cling film and place in a warm place for the dough to rise. You can create a warm environment by warming up the oven to 100oC. When the set temperature is reached, switch it off and leave the oven light on.
- Mould into desired sizes.
- Heat up the oven to 180C. Place the baking tray on a top shelf.
- Bake the dough for 30 minutes and then place a bowl of cold water on the bottom shelf. This will create steam in the oven to help create a lovely crust on the bread.
- Turn up the heat to 200C and bake till the bread is light brown. This may take another 20 minutes.
- Once the light brown colour has been achieved, take it out of the oven, cover the bread with a cloth and let it rest to cool down. Remove the cloth after 5 minutes and continue to let it cool down completely.
- Once cooled serve with your favourite beverage.
