Delicious Mosbolletjie bread recipe
Executive Chef, Kerry Kilpin has now decided to share it.
‘I first put it on the menu in Autumn last year as the sweet and spicy flavours tied in with our harvest celebration and the changing of the season,’ she said. ‘Since then, it’s been so popular that it’s remained on the menu. It’s easy to prepare at home and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.’
