Mix the flour with the salt, sugar and dry yeast. Add milk and water and knead everything very thoroughly for about 10 minutes to form a soft, elastic dough.
Place the dough in a bowl and let rise, covered, for about 1 hour until it has doubled in volume. Then knock off the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll out into 1 cm thick circles. Place the circles on a baking sheet, brush with milk and sift the flour over them.
Let rise uncovered for 30-45 minutes until they have doubled in volume. Dust again with flour and make a 1 cm deep dent in each bap with your thumb.
Bake in the oven preheated to 200 ° C for about 15-20 minutes until the baps are golden brown.
In Scotland, the Baps are eaten fresh from the oven as a side dish to stews or fried eggs, but they also taste very good cut open as breakfast rolls.
