- Place the dough in a dish and cover it with a cloth. Place in warm oven that has been preheated at very low temperature and let it rise until double in size. It will take about 1 hour, depending on your dough.
- Have a flat baking tray ready that you have sprinkled with flour.
- Remove the dough from the oven. DO NOT knead the dough. Break off small pieces without flattening it and place on prepared baking tray. Repeat until all the dough has been used. I do sprinkle a little flour on the top as not to dry it out.
- Place the dough back in the oven to rise.
- Remember, Cook your Roosterkoek rolls first before you start braaiing.
- When the fire is ready, clean the grill.
- Carefully place the little Roosterkoek rolls on the grill without touching it on the top. Turn the Roosterkoek rolls using braai tongs by gripping it on the sides to turn, that will prevent you from flattening the Roosterkoek rolls. It takes about 10 minutes, depending on the heat of your fire.
