Easy to remember recipe for a classic bread....crisp crust, slightly chewy centre...fabulous toasted and covered in butter !

Method

ReplyYou should be able to pull the dough and stretch between both thumbs and fore fingers (excuse the crude explanation) and stretch it thin enough without it tearing. If you can get the dough to hold enough to see through it,! It's a good indication that the gluten strands are strong enough and you've kneaded enough
