Bread

This dough can be used to make rolls, bread and vetkoek. The water will only be added to get the right texture. The dough is put into a bowl and covered with a plastic bag so that it can rise. After which the dough is pressed into small round balls and put into an oiled baking tray.

The eggs and milk is mixed together then the butter is added. The salt and sugar is added then the baking powder while everything is mixing.
