I have tried this recipe few times and it always turns out perfect. Our family loves this recipe. Thank you for sharing.
We enjoy bread with seeds and other add ins line garlic, olives etc. Would these add ins work well and give the same crusty bread?
Please you let me know if we can add ins and when to add them.
Thank you.

Hey! The reasoning behind this can vary entirely so it’s best to go with the method of add half of the liquid to begin with, and slowly add more until you have a dough that is kneading smoothly without being very sticky. Sometimes, breads can need more or less water, depending on the day! x

The dough was so wet and sticky, I found it difficult to do anything with, it was impossible to knead, but I have read in other recipes not to add more flour as you end up with dry bread. In the end I put it in my mixer to knead, but it was still very wet and sticky after the 6 minutes. I would really like to be able to do it without the mixer, does anyone have any tips on how to handle the dough and knead it properly? I did still cook it, and it is delicious, I just think it probably didn’t rise as much as it should. My hubby said it was actually the best bread he has ever tasted, so it can’t have been that bad 🙂 Thank you x

Just amazing. Never made bread before today and can’t believe how good it is and so easy. Thank you for the recipe!

For this bread, I have only ever done it once. You can do it again if you want, it just changes the structure slightly!

I notice there is only one proving for this recipe. We also bake white and prove it twice usually. I was just interested to know the reason for only once (I’m interested in the science behind these things).
Thank you 🍞😋

You can definitely use a larger tin if you want, it won’t be a problem if you do!

Many thanks

A different type of oil should work!

It fills a 1lb loaf tin before it’s even risen

I put it in a 2lb loaf tin and put it in the oven on the dough proving setting. The darn thing came alive! The dough is overhanging the bread tin so I’m thinking that next time I’ll use your recipe as the quantities are less. Either that or I’ll have to bake 2 loaves! I make white bread for my husband but I don’t like white bread so mine is all granary flour

As a very keen amateur baker, during the lockdown I’ve been asking neighbours to keep an eye out for strong white flour, however a neighbour gave me two bags of granary flour and that led me to your recipe to find out what bread to bake with it. Gosh I feel lucky!! This recipe is absolutely fantastic! Well done and I will be trying many more of your recipes now I found your website.
