1. Gease all 4 baking tins (6 inch tins) thoroughly. I used vegetable shortening. Keep aside.

2. Place all ingredients for dough except margarine in a mixing bowl.

3. Fasten the dough hook onto the mixer and start kneading.

4. Once the ingrediets have just combined, add in the margarine. Knead till a soft, elastic and shiny dough is formed.

5. Remove from the bowl and rest the dough for about 10 minutes.

6. Divide the dough into a 30g balls. Shape it nicely and arrange in the prepared tins.

7. Cover the tins and leave the dough to rise till almost double the size.

9. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 C for 15 to 20 minutes. Oven temperature and baking time may vary, depending on your oven.
