It’s time to take some of our cooking outdoors and enjoy the lovely weather our country offers us! To celebrate Spring, create an edible flower on your bread at your next Sunday braai or potjie. 

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, adding the beer at the end, to form a smooth batter. Set aside in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until doubled in size. 

Transfer the mixture to a greased cast-iron pot.

Decorate the bread with a floral garden, using the rosemary, parsley and spring onions as flower stems and grass, and sliced tomatoes and/or onions as flowers. 

Place on potjie stand over hot coals, with a couple of coals on the lid.  Bake for 1 hour, or until golden.  Tip out of the pot and serve warm.
