Stottie Cakes
Stottie cakes are a traditional, dense, flat bread originating from the North East of England, particularly popular in the Tyneside area. They are known for their chewy texture and are perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoyed with butter.
🧂 食材
- 400 g Strong white bread flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 7 g Dried yeast
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 140 ml Lukewarm water
- 100 ml Lukewarm milk
- 15 ml Vegetable oil
👨🍳 步驟
- 1
In a jug, combine the lukewarm water and milk. Add the dried yeast and sugar. Stir and leave for 10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the water and milk are lukewarm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast. - 2
In a large bowl, sieve the strong white bread flour and salt. Make a well in the centre.
💡 專業提示: Sieving the flour ensures a lighter texture. - 3
Pour the activated yeast mixture and the vegetable oil into the well in the flour. Gradually mix everything together to form a slightly stiff dough.
💡 專業提示: The dough should be firm but not sticky. - 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
💡 專業提示: Proper kneading develops the gluten for a chewy texture. - 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film or a damp tea towel, and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
💡 專業提示: A slightly warm oven (turned off) can be a good proving spot. - 6
Once risen, 'knock back' the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
💡 專業提示: Gently punch down the dough to deflate it. - 7
Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc about 2cm thick and approximately 15-20cm in diameter. You can use a rolling pin or your hands.
💡 專業提示: Aim for an even thickness for consistent baking. - 8
Place the shaped stotties on a floured baking sheet. Prick the surface all over with a fork and make a small indentation in the centre with your finger.
💡 專業提示: Pricking helps prevent the stottie from puffing up too much. - 9
Cover the stotties and let them prove for another 30 minutes.
💡 專業提示: A second, shorter proving allows them to become slightly lighter. - 10
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F, Gas Mark 4). Bake for 10-15 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until lightly golden.
💡 專業提示: Baking on a lower shelf can help achieve a crispier base. - 11
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. For a softer crust, place them in a plastic bag while still warm.
💡 專業提示: Stotties are best eaten fresh but can be stored for a day or two.
💡 專業提示
- ✓Stottie cakes are traditionally quite dense and chewy.
- ✓They are excellent split and filled with ham and pease pudding, or used for a 'stottie sandwich'.
- ✓Can be frozen after cooling; reheat gently in the oven or a toaster.

- Some recipes use lard or butter instead of oil for a richer flavour.
- A small amount of white pepper can be added to the dough for a subtle kick.
