Knead for 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Place in a bowl and cover with a clean damp tea towel (this stops the dough from drying out). Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. 4. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and shape the dough then place in a greased 2lb tin or on an oven tray. Cover with a clean damp tea towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in size (45 min to 1 hour). 5. Uncover and bake in an oven preheated to 230°C (210°C Fan Gas Mark 8) for 30-35 minutes. 6. Take the loaf out of the tin and cool on a rack. The baked loaf should sound hollow when tapped underneath. GOLDEN CRUST Beat 1 egg with a little milk. Brush evenly before baking. SOFT CRUST Dust with flour before baking. Wrap in a dry clean tea towel once baked.
