• Mix all ingredients in main dough except for butter together in a large mixing bowl to form a soft dough.
• Place on work area to knead or mixer to do the kneading. Knead the dough till it is not sticky, about 20 minutes.
• Add the unsalted butter in and continue to knead till the dough is shiny and elastic.
• To test if the dough is ready, pull a small piece off and stretching it with your fingers.
• If dough is very elastic and pulls to almost see through without breaking, then it's done.

• Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, roll round, cover and let rest before shaping.
• Roll a portion of the dough into a flat oval shape using a rolling pin. Then roll it up at one end like a swiss roll.
• Place it in a greased bread tin (10cmX10cmX25cm). Repeat with the rest of the bread portions.
• After shaping, cover the dough and continue proofing for another hour. Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake in the oven (covered) for 42 to 45 minutes till done.
• Let loaf cool in tin for 5 minutes before unmoulding. Then remove from tin and let cool on rack completely before slicing.
