Make something good.

  1. 01

    Combine yeast, treacle and tepid water and allow to prove for at least 20 minutes in warm place.

  2. 02

    In a large, warmed mixing bowl put plain flour, wholemeal flour and salt and mix well.

  3. 03

    Add 500ml of tepid water to yeast mixture, then pour into flour mixture and stir to make a batter-like dough. Oil a large baking tin, or two or three smaller ones. Pour in the dough mixture, making sure it only comes halfway up the tin.

  4. 04

    Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to prove for one hour, allowing it to expand.

  5. 05

    Bake in the oven at about 210c for about 35-40 minutes.(Smaller loaves will take less time).

  6. 06

    Allow to cool before slicing.

  7. 07

    Note: Another variation, would be to add some roughly chopped pecan nuts, tiny cubes of cheddar cheese and finely chopped chives to the dough, for a slightly different taste.
