- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 350 g lukewarm water
Instructions
-
Place the flour in a large bowl with the sugar, salt, yeast and oil
-
Rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs - like you would for crumble mix or pastry
-
Add the water to form a soft dough, keeping back a small amount as you may not need it all
-
Knead the mixture well on a floured surface for 10 minutes
-
After kneading put the dough back in the bowl, cover with oiled cling film or a tea towel and leave it to prove for an hour
-
Knead the dough briefly again then shape it . A large round circlular shape is easy to achieve
-
Place the loaf onto a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and cover again. Let it prove for another half hour
-
Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees
-
After half an hour bake for 30 minutes then turn the oven down to 180 degrees and bake for a further 10 minutes

Remover from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least an hour
