Method
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt, quick yeast and sugar.
- Add the water and roughly mix it into the flour.
- While the dough is still lumpy add the oil and knead well until it feels smooth and pliable.
- Leave the dough covered with a tea towel, in a draught free place, for it to double in size. (This should take about an hour).
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough firmly for several minutes.
- Shape the dough and put it into an oiled 1kg/2lb bread tin or place it on an oiled baking sheet.
- Cover with a clean tea towel and leave dough to rise for about 25 minutes in a warm place.
- Bake in a preheated oven 35/40 minutes.
