z) fresh yeast or 10mls(2tsp) dried yeast + 5mls (1tsp)
caster sugar.
1
75mls (6 fl oz) warm water
1 Dried yeast (the type that needs reconstituting): Add
t
he yeast and sugar to the warm water. Leave to stand for 5 - 10
minutes until frothy.
Fresh yeast: crumble into the flour
O
ther types of yeast: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
2 Fit the dough tool or knife blade and add the flour (with fresh
yeast if used), salt and lard. Process for a few seconds to evenly
d
istribute the ingredients.
3 Then with the motor running quickly pour the liquid in a steady
stream down the feed tube until the mixture forms an elastic soft
dough. This will take about 60 seconds.
4 Remove the dough, place in a bowl, cover with an oiled piece of
clingfilm or a plastic bag, and leave in a warm place for 45 - 60
minutes or until doubled in size.
5 Re-knead by hand for 2 - 3 minute. Re-kneading in the
bowl is not recommended as it may cause the
processor to become unstable. Shape into a loaf or 15
rolls and place on greased baking trays and leave until double in
size.
6 Then bake in a pre-heated oven at 230°C/450°F/Gas mark 8 for
20 - 25 minutes for the loaf or 10 - 15 minutes for bread rolls.
When ready they should sound hollow when tapped on the
base.
