| Strong white flour | 500 Gram | |
| 7g sachet fast-action yeast | ||
| Salt | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Olive oil | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Clear honey | 1 Tablespoon | |
Directions
GETTING READY
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degree Centigrade.
2. In a pot, heat some water until is is warm to the touch, and keep aside.
MAKING
3. In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast and salt using your hands.
4. Add 300 millilitres of the warm water, the oil and the honey.
5. Stir the mixture and make a soft dough.
6. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough about for 5 minutes, until it no longer feels sticky to the touch.
7. Sprinkling with a little more flour if you don't get the desired consistency.
8. Take a loaf tin and grease it with oil.
9. Pour the dough into the tin, pressing it in evenly throughout the tin. 10. Put the loaf tin in a large plastic food bag and set aside for 1 hour, until the dough has risen to fill the entire tin. It should also be stiff and should not spring back when you press it with your finger.
11. With a sharp knife, cut the surface of the loaf and make several slashes.
12. In the pre-heated oven, place the loaf tin and bake for 30-35 minutes until the surface of the loaf is golden.
13. Take the loaf out onto a cooling rack and tap the base to see if it is cooked. If it is cooked, it should sound hollow.
14. Leave it on the wire rack to cool.
