- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 310 ml milk or water with a spoon of oil or melted butter
Instructions
Instructions
- Test the baking powder is still good by putting a teaspoon in a small dish and pouring boiling water over. It should immediately bubble and fizz vigorously.
- Heat the oven to 190°C Fan (210°C regular) / 375°F / GM 6. Place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven to heat.
- Mix the dry ingredients. Stir in the milk, and stir the ingredients until the milk is mixed with the flour and forms a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead briefly until the dough has a uniform consistency.
- Shape the dough into a round disc, about an inch to an inch and a half (about 3 cm) thick. Score the top deeply with an X. This is important: do not make a round ball of dough, as it will not cook in the middle.
- Bake on the hot stone or baking sheet for about 35 minutes until pale brown. This loaf will not turn a deep gold, so do not wait too long to check it. When ready, it should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
