Love recipe. Also cooks well in the air over (the one with shelves) 15 minutes on 175c after that take out of the tin. Turn upside down and cook again on 175c for 5 minutes . Or if you want it with a softer crust wrap it in a clean muslin or teacloth.

I have tried many recipes, the Internet is full of them and most do not work. This produces a lovely white sandwich bread. Its the best recipe I have found and now my standard recipe. Well done Dove!

This makes amazing bread. We didn't wait for it to cool, even had to hold it with oven-gloves to cut it in order to start eating it! My first-ever tin-loaf of bread, and it's everything I could have wished for in homemade bread: better, even. Try it!
