1 1/2 lb Strong [bread] flour, either
White or wholemeal
[wholewheat] As preferred
1/2 pk Instant dried yeast
1 ts Sugar
lg Pinch salt
Warm water to mix
Mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar, then add enough water to make a fairly
firm dough. Knead vigorously until dough is smooth and elastic – you can
do this in a food processor, but it is very therapeutic to do it by hand!
Place in a clean bowl, cover, and leave in a warm place for about an hour,
or until doubled in size. Knead again, then place on a greased, floured
oven-proof plate. Cover, if possible with an oven- proof bowl, and leave
for ten-fifteen minutes.
Bake in a hot oven (mark 7, 200 C, 425 F) for about 40 minutes, or until it
sounds hollow when tapped underneath. This doesn’t keep well as it has no
fat, but that is seldom a problem!
