bread – basic reciPe
This is a good basic bread recipe that can be easily varied to suit
your taste. Add bran or linseed to make a course bread or mix in
grated left over cheese pieces and eat with soup. You can save
time by portioning the dry ingredients at home and putting them
into plastic bags to take with you.
25 cl water
1 tbs oil
Pinch of salt
1 tbs honey or sugar
30 g dry yeast
1 litre plain flour (or mix of flours of your choice)
For the Omnia food holder
Oil and breadcrumbs, wheat-bran or crushed digestive biscuits
Warm the water (45ºC). Add oil. Salt and honey or sugar and stir.
Add the yeast and half the flour and mix thoroughly. Add the
remaining flour bit by bit working in thoroughly and kneed until
you
have a good dough. Cover with a cloth and allow to prove
for 30 minutes
. Grease the Omnia food holder and dust with
breadcrumbs. Re-kneed the dough and make a sausage shape
that will fit round the holder. Put the dough into the holder and
allow to prove under the lid for a further 30 minutes. Cover with the
lid and bake gently on the lowest heat until the crust is hard, test
by removing the loaf from the holder and tapping the bottom, if it
sounds hollow it is ready, about 30 minutes.
