Makes: 1 medium loaf
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 30 mins
INGREDIENTS
- 350 – 400g plain white all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (not baking powder)
- 285 milk + 1 Tbsp lemon juice (you can also use white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar)
NOTE: You can substitute the milk and lemon juice/vinegar for buttermilk
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180c, 160c for a fan oven, or gas mark 4 for a gas oven
- Dust a baking tray with some plain flour
- Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine
- Poor in the milk and lemon juice or vinegar (or the buttermilk if using)
- Stir all the ingredients until they form a dough, then shape into a ball
- Place the dough on to the pre-dusted baking tray and cut a large, deep cross across the centre of the dough – this is important as it helps the bread to cook evenly
- Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour and bake for 30 minutes
- Check if the bread is fully baked by tapping the bottom of the loaf; if it sounds hollow the bread is done
Coxy’s Kitchen Tip:
This is a sticky mixture; flouring your hands before you begin to shape the dough will make the dough easier to handle. If necessary, add a bit more flour to the mixture to make it a less sticky
