Baking bread is so wholesome it is a kin to that nice tingle you get after having a good poo.
It’s also just as simple.
For this recipe you will need:
1lb 2oz Strong White Flour
1oz Butter
1oz sugar
A little bit of salt
1tsp fast acting yeast
10fl oz warm water
About 2 tbsp of cinnamon
Some raisins or sultanas
In a bowl mix the flour with the butter, cinnamon, raisins, salt, yeast and sugar.
Make a little well in the centre of the mix.
Add the water.
Slowly work the water into the flour using a knife or your hands.
When you’ve made a nice pliable dough flop it onto your worktop (not your laptop) and knead well by rolling into a sausage shape with the palm of your hand, folding it in and rolling again.
Shape into whatever shape you are intending to bake and cover with a damp tea towel. Place in a nice warm area for an hour or two. Until it’s doubled in size.
Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C for 30 mins.
Allow to cool before serving.
