Braaibroodjie Recipes

In our family a “braai” is not complete without a sweet or salty “braaibroodjie” It has been part of our tradition since my kids where very small and it’s still going strong with the grandchildren. Living in George it was the best thing ever having a braai at the beach and enjoying our braaibroodjie.  Life is too short not trying all the different recipes and naturally you must not forget that there are so many different types of bread you can choose from. Big part of it is to not butter the outside as the bread must be crisp although some people prefer it with the butter on the outside, try it wthout first. What can be better than a fire burning and a glass of your favourite wine, good company and a BRAAI with BRAAIBROODJIES.
