La Motte's Shiraz bread
Published: 21 Apr 11
BREAD AND WINE
There’s nothing like a loaf of freshly baked bread, and at La Motte near Franschhoek, breads are baked on the premises, with chef Chris Erasmus’ own yeast made from local spores. He even includes sweet-potato shavings in one of his yeast batches! We enjoyed his Shiraz bread; around two tonnes of Shiraz skins are ground to a fine powder to mix in with the dough. The Shiraz ‘flour’ is high in antioxidants – so it’s healthy too! The Shiraz bread is available from La Motte’s deli for R25. Call 021 876 8000.
