Special requirements
A fairly large flat surface for kneading the dough
A greased pan for letting the dough rise
A bread baking dish
Cling wrap or a moist muslin cloth
A brush to grease the bread
Method:
- Knead all the ingredients into a soft ball. The dough should be tacky but not sticky.
- Place the dough in a slightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with a cling film or damp muslin cloth & allow it to rise at room temperature for about an hour, or until it doubles in size
- Scrape the dough onto a well floured surface. Tap the dough to deflate the air
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan
- Allow it rise again for about 45 minutes
- preheat the oven to 200 centigrade and bake the loaf for about 20-30 min till golden brown
- once the loaf is out of the oven, brush some oil on the surface of the hot loaf
- Allow it to cool. Slice. Smear butter & eat.
