Add 500 grams of self-raising wheat flour to a bowl.

Rub in 30 grams of cold and cubed butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.

Pour in 1 and 1/2 cups of buttermilk and 1/2 cup of chakalaka.

Cut with a knife until the mixture starts combining and forms a dough.

Knead the dough lightly for two minutes.

Divide the dough into golf ball sized portions.

Roll out each portion into a long strip.

Twist the dough around clean sticks or thick skewers.

Cook the bread over an open flame, rotating often until golden brown and slightly charred.
