Recipe - White Loaf

1 pound Strong flour
2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Fast action easyblend
yeast; (1 to 2)
; granules
2 tablespoon Olive oil
One half pt Warm water

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6.

Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and
pour in the liquid ingredients. Draw the flour into the centre and mix
well, until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl, or mix in a food
processor.

Turn on to a floured surface and knead for five minutes. Shape the dough
and put it into a lightly greased 2lb loaf tin. Cover loosely with lightly
oiled clingfilm and allow to rise in a moderately warm place for about half
an hour, until doubled in size.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when
tapped. Turn on to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.

To make your own recipes, these are the proportions: 1tsp salt to 1/2lb
flour, and half liquid to flour. 1lb of flour will make 1218 rolls and
these will bake at the same temperature in about 15 minutes.

Flavourings can be mixed in just before you knead the dough. Try onion and
rosemary, spring onion and cheese, sundried tomatoes or chopped olives.

Enriched sweet bread can be made by adding 2tbsp dried skimmed milk powder,
23tbsp honey or sugar and 2 free range eggs. To this you can add cinnamon
and walnuts, chopped dried apricots and almonds, dates and brazil nuts,
mixed dried fruit and candied peel or saffron and sunflower seeds.
