Bread.

Recently i have taught a fellow man in the world how to make bread. Its cheaper and tastes far better than the shop bought. I suggest you give this recipe a go and benefit from the world that is baking.

You will need.

600g white bread flour
600g wholemeal bread flour
80g dried yeast
30g salt
100g honey
700ml tepid water
80ml olive oil

- place your honey in a jug and add your water (body temp), dissolve the honey
- add the yeast and dissolve
- place all of the other ingredients in a bowl and mix well
- add the yeast mix gradually until it forms a dough
- knead this mixture till you get a smooth elastic dough ( 10min ish)
- place this dough in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave to double in size
- when doubled in size knock the dough back by kneading for a few minutes
- split the dough in two and form two smooth balls
- let the dough double in size again
- place in an oven at 220 celcius for 15 minutes then turn down to 200 till the dough is cooked ( 30 to 40 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when tapped)
- remove it from the oven and cool for 20 minutes before enjoying it
