Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C

2. For best results, use a stand mixer. Combine all the wet ingredients and in a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients.

3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on a low / medium speed for 5 minutes. The dough will be firm and tacky.

4. Push the dough into an 8 x 3 inch lined loaf tin, cover with cling film and allow to prove for 90 minutes in a warm place. The loaf should increase in height to almost fill the tin during this time.

5. Remove the cling film, score the top of the loaf and bake for 70 minutes.
