- Knock the dough down. Cut into 24 equal pieces
and shape each piece into a ball. - Place the balls in rows, so that they touch
each other, into 2 greased bread pans. Cover
with greased plastic and allow to rise in a
warm place until double the size, about

water and stir over low heat until slightly
thickened. - Bake the Mosbolletjies in a
preheated oven at
180 °C / 350 °F for
20 – 25 minutes, or until
golden brown. - Brush with glaze.
