Cooking method
The dough is often made the same way as normal white bread (containing fat, not French- or Italian-style).[4][5] Stottie dough may be made by combining excess dough through kneading and rolling.[1]
The dough only gets one rise instead of two.[4] For example, it may be baked as follows:[1]
- The dough is divided into parts that are formed into large discs.
- A hole or indent is made in the center of each disc.
- These discs of dough are proved.
- The discs are baked on the bottom of the oven at Script error: No such module "convert". for 15 minutes.
- The discs are rotated and baked at a slightly lower temperature for 15 more minutes.
Usage
It is often used to make sandwiches by separating it horizontally and putting toppings such as ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, or fried egg, and butter, pease pudding, or ketchup inside.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
The name may have come from the North-Eastern word stot, meaning to bounce, perhaps due to how the dough was thrown, or stotted, onto the bottom of the oven.[1][3][5]
The bread has been made since at least before WWII.[1]
