Namibische Roosterkoek Mit Aprikosenmarmelade (namibian Roosterkoek With Apricot Jam)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup apricot jam

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the warm water and mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten the balls slightly to form discs.
  4. Preheat a grill or braai (barbecue) to medium heat. Grease the grill grates with butter to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the dough discs on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove the roosterkoek from the grill and spread a generous amount of softened butter on each piece.
  7. Top the roosterkoek with a dollop of apricot jam and serve warm.
