Ingredients

  • 500g strong white bread flour (could swap for wholemeal if you prefer)
  • 7g yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp clear honey
  • 300ml warm water

Method

  1. Empty the flour, yeast and salt into a bowl and mix together. In a separate container, stir together the water and honey, and add to the flour mixture. Mix together until a soft dough is formed.
  2. On a floured surface, knead the dough for 10 minutes.
  3. Oil a loaf tin, and transfer the dough into it. Cover with cling film, and leave to prove in a warm area for an hour, or until doubled in size.
