BEAUTIFUL BREAKFAST BREAD

BEAUTIFUL BREAKFAST BREAD

Ingredients

290g Milk

1 Sachet yeast

20g Olive Oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp brown sugar

500g organic self raising flower

Directions

Throw all ingredients together and knead.... I used my fancy thermomix

to do the kneading on this bread - but it can absolutely be done

in a normal food processor, or by hand,

just take your frustration out on the dough and

knead, knead, knead!

Form the dough in to a ball and let it rest for 30 minutes in an oiled bowl.

When the mix has risen (the self raising flour plus yeast makes it really rise!) punch down, knead a couple more times, then shape in to a fancy loaf - I split the dough in to 3, rolled out long sausages and plaited them. Brush the top of the loaf with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a hot oven - 220 degrees for about 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it as you don't want to burn it.  You can test if the bread is ready by poking a wooden skewer in to the middle of the loaf, if it comes out clean, it is ready! Serve the bread hot with organic butter and preserves.

Happy baking everyone.
