Method

• Mix all the ingredients – yeast, flour, sugar and salt together in a big bowl. Using your fingertips rub in the butter until only fine ‘bread crumbs’ are left. Mix in the water with a cutlery knife​

​​​

• Knead – Tip onto a lightly dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes

​​​

• Rise – Lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil. Put the dough back in, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until it doubles in size (about an hour)

​​​

• Shape – Knock back the dough by gently kneading just 5 times to get the air out. Mould into a smooth oval and lift gently into a lightly oiled 900g loaf tin

​​

• Bake – lift the tin onto the middle shelf and back for 30-35 minutes, until you can lift the bread loaf from the tin and when you tap the base it sounds hollow
