Hand Baking (Makes 1 Large Loaf)

500g HOVIS Best of Both Bread Flour
25g Butter
1 Tsp Salt
1 Sachet Hovis Fast Action Bread Yeast
285ml Warm Water
1 Tsp Sugar to Give Added Flavour and Thicker Crust (Optional)

Golden Crust

1 In a large bowl, mix together the flour, (optional sugar) and salt. Rub in the butter then stir in the yeast.
2 Stir in the water and mix into a soft dough by hand.
3 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 until doubled in size (45 to 60 minutes).
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 (30 to 45 minutes).
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.
