340g strong white plain flour
5ml salt
6g lard
15g fresh yeast or 10ml/2tsp dried active
yeast plus 5ml/1tsp sugar
200ml warm water
Dried active yeast

water, add the sugar and allow to stand
for approximately 10 minutes or until the
mixture is frothy.
Fresh yeast
Crumble into the bowl with the flour.
Other types of yeast
Follow the manufacturers instructions.
1
With the knife blade in the bowl,
add the flour, salt, lard (fresh yeast if
used) and process for a few seconds
to evenly distribute the ingredients
throughout the flour.
2
With the machine operating, quickly
pour the water or yeast liquid in a
steady stream through the feed tube
(this should take about 10 seconds).
3
Continue processing until the
mixture forms a dough and becomes
smooth in appearance and elastic
to the touch, this will take about 45
seconds.
4
Remove the dough into either a
greased polythene bag or a lightly
floured bowl and cover. Leave this
dough in a warm place until doubled
in size.
5
Return the risen dough to the
processor bowl fitted with the knife
blade and re-knead for about 10
seconds.
6
Shape the dough into a loaf or about
15 rolls and place on greased baking
trays and leave until double in size.
7
Bake at 230°C/450°F/gas mark 8
for 20-25 minutes for a loaf or 10-15
minutes for bread rolls.

When the loaf or rolls are cooked
they should sound hollow when
tapped on the base.
