  • Preparation: 80 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (78.5 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 4 g Butter, unsalted
  • 24 g Milk, whole
  • 7 g Light syrup (golden syrup)
  • 1.2 g Yeast, fresh
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 42 g Flour, all-purpose

Method

  1. Melt the butter, add the milk and syrup and warm to about 37°C, just warm to the touch.
  2. Crumble the yeast into a bowl, stir in a little of the warm liquid until it dissolves, then add the rest with the salt.
  3. Work in the flour and knead for 5-8 minutes to a smooth, soft dough. Cover and leave to rise for 30-40 minutes, until doubled.
  4. Heat the oven to 275°C. Roll the dough into a round about 1 cm thick and 15 cm across, and prick it all over with a fork or a docker rolling pin.
  5. Lay it on a baking tray lined with paper, cover and let it rise for 20 minutes.
  6. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until pale golden in spots, then cool under a tea towel so it stays soft.
  7. Split or tear and eat fresh as sandwich bread; it freezes well.
