1
Add the sugar and yeast to the lukewarm water and milk, mix well and allow the yeast to activate for 10 minutes until it foams up.
2
Once activated, add the yeast mixture to the stand mixer bowl.
3
Add the oil, followed by the flour and salt.
4
Using the dough hook, knead the dough for 10 minutes.
5
For hand kneading, add the yeast mixture, flour, oil, and salt, to a bowl, roughly mix all these ingredients together, tip the contents of the bowl out onto your bench, bring it all together, then hand knead for 10 minutes.
6
Once done, form the now kneaded dough into a ball, get it a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, allow it to proof for 60 minutes, in a warm draft-free spot.
7
After the 60-minute proof, turn out the dough onto your work top, and knock it back, that simply means force all of the built-up gas out of it, then form it into a ball.
8
Divide the doughball into 2 equal pieces, form those into a balls then a flat disc shape.
9
Place them on a floured surface, cover with a light-weight dry cloth, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
10
Grease a large baking sheet with a little lard, butter or a solid vegetable fat.
11
Once rested, roll out your 2 dough balls into 2 9-inch circles, once rolled place them on the baking sheet.
12
Cover with a cloth, and let them proof for 30 minutes.
13
When there’s only 10 minutes left on the proof, preheat your oven to 170°C / 340°F / Gas mark 3.
14
Once proofed, an optional traditional step you can do, is poke a hole with your finger in the centre of each stottie, this will prevent them from rising as much.
15
Get them into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
16
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing and serving.
17
Enjoy.
