Starter Cooking time:
30min(s) Cooking Instructions:
Put the flour into a large bowl, add the butter/oil and mix well, stir in the sugar, salt and yeast.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add enough of the water/milk to make a soft (not sticky) dough. If the dough is too sticky, just add a little more flour, or add a drop of water if the dough is too dry.
Knead for 5 minutes and then cover and put aside to rise for around 45 mins. Knead again and put into a greased 2lb loaf tin. Cover and leave for a further 30 minutes.
Bake at 200C/Gas 6 for about 30 minutes. Turn out and cool on a wire rack.
Alternatively cut dough into about 12 pieces and make into bread rolls. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Variations: Make different breads by adding different combinations of ingredients to the dough mixture, before you leave it to rise.

Add a couple of tbsp of sunflower, pumpkin, sesame or poppy seeds.
Add 3-4 tbsp of dried fruits (raisins, chopped dried apricots, cranberries etc) and ½ tsp of cinnamon.
Add 1 tsp of mixed dried herbs, some black pepper and 1 tbsp of chopped sun dried tomatoes and/or olives.
