It has an uneven round flat shape, with a diameter of about 200 millimetres (7.9 in) and a depth of about 25–30 millimetres (0.98–1.18 in). It sometimes has a small hole or indentation near the center. It weighs about 270 grams (9.5 oz). Its color is mostly white, with patches of brown. It has a crusty and/or fluffy texture.[1][2][3][4]
The dough is often made the same way as normal white bread (containing fat, not French- or Italian-style).[4][5] Stottie dough may be made by combining excess dough through kneading and rolling.[1]
The dough only gets one rise instead of two.[4] For example, it may be baked as follows:[1]
It is often used to make sandwiches by separating it horizontally and putting toppings such as ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, or fried egg, and butter, pease pudding, or ketchup inside.[1][2][3][4][5]
The name may have come from the North-Eastern word stot, meaning to bounce, perhaps due to how the dough was thrown, or stotted, onto the bottom of the oven.[1][3][5]
