Brown loaf/ baps

• 1 lb strong brown flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 oz lard
• 2 tsp granulated sugar
• 1 oz fresh yeast
• 10 oz warm water and milk combined

1. Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and rub into the fat until it resembles breadcrumbs, add half the sugar
2. Cream the yeast with the rest of sugar and add to the warm liquid, leave until frothy ( about 5 minutes) pour the liquid into the flour and work to a soft dough.
3. Turn out onto a floured surface and kneed until smooth and elastic (10 minutes)
4. Place in a lightly oiled bowl cover with a clean tea bowl (I use a shower cap) and leave to rise in a warm place for an hour
5. Knead the dough again and shape into a loaf ( or divide into 6 pieces if making baps) and place onto a baking sheet, cover with a warm place and leave to prove for 20 minutes.
6. Set the oven to, 220 sprinkle loaf or bags with a little flour and bake for 15/20 minutes.
