Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 400 g plain flour (regular white self raising flour)
- 1 tsp salt
- 250 ml milk
- 1 tbs oil (optional)
Instruction
- Heat the oven to 190°C Fan (210°C regular) / 375°F / GM 6. Place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven to heat.
- Mix the self raising flour and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the milk (and oil, if using), and stir together to form a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead briefly until the dough has a uniform consistency.
- Shape the dough into a round disc, about an inch to an inch and a half (about 3 cm) thick. Score the top deeply with an X. This is important! Don't make a round ball of dough as it won't cook in the middle.
- Bake on the hot stone or baking sheet for about 35 minutes until risen and the crust is hard. (This loaf won't turn a deep gold so don't wait too long to check it.) When ready, it should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
