Bert’s first loaf of bread (with a bit of help measuring) – he’s very proud.
Two hours after this photo was taken he was naked in the kitchen, slice of warm bread in hand, singing ‘go mummy! Go mummy!’ as I chased a fly around the kitchen with a fly swat muttering I will beat you. Making memories.
Makes one loaf
350g strong white bread flour
250ml hand hot water
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1 teaspoon salt
7g (1 sachet) dried yeast
75g Greek yoghurt
Mix all the ingredients together and knead for about 5 minutes or till stretchy. Cover and leave for an hour then tip onto a lined tray to form a mound and bake at 140/ gas mark four for an hour. Have a slice, still warm, in your pyjamas (or, indeed, nudie).
This is a Jack Monroe recipe.
