CHAKALAKA BREAD

You can bake mini loafs or muffins.

500 g (780 ml) cake flour
10 ml baking powder
4 large eggs, beaten
5 ml salt and pepper to taste
125 ml grated Cheddar cheese
1 can mild chakalaka
about 100 ml milk if necessary, optional
selection of cheeses, pâtés and fruit to serve with the bread

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir in the remaining ingredients except the cheese. Add a little more milk, if necessary.
Spoon into a greased loaf tin, add the cheese on top and bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and serve the sliced bread with a selection of different pâtés, cheeses and fruit.

Note: Elsabie:
Used this recipe but added ½ teaspoon of turmeric to give deep golden colour and extra pinch of dried chilli flakes. Baked in mini loaf tins and got exactly 18.
