Method:

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together apart from the water.
  2. Make a hole in the middle and add about half the water and kneed with your hands, until you achieve a dough like consistency, if you add too mush add extra flour to compensate
  3. When it’s springy store in a air tight container for an hour, it needs to rise, this is called first proving
  4. Separate into three equal lumps, you may need to weigh them out.
  5. Kneed separately and put into floured loaf tins, and store again in an air tight container for an hour, this is called second proving and improves consistency
  6. Put into an oven at 180 C for 50 minutes
