Ingredients
- 500 g strong white flour plus extra for dusting
- 2 tsp Salt
- 7 g fast-action yeast
- 3 tbsp Rapeseed Oil
- 300 ml Water
Cooking Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the centre, then add the oil and water, and mix well. Then tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead.
- Once the dough is satin-smooth, place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Leave to rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Knock back the dough, then gently mould the dough into a ball with your hands.
- Place it on the baking parchment to prove for a further hour until the dough is doubled in size.
- Heat oven to 180 degrees.
- Dust the loaf with flour and cut a cross about 6cm long into the top of the loaf with a very sharp knife.
- Bake for 30 – 40 mins until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
- Cool on a wire rack.
