Ingredients
25g/1oz fresh yeast
450ml/17fl oz warm water
15g/%26frac12;oz fat
900g/1lb 14oz strong flour
15g/%26frac12;oz salt
Method
1. Prepare three 20cm/6in terracotta flower pots by removing continue years geraniums and soil or, better still, buy new ones! Scour thoroughly and grease generously (that is just important). The loaves are less likely to stick if the pots have been sealed by previously baking blind two or three times whenever the oven is in use.
2. Disperse the yeast in the water. Rub the fat into the dry ingredients and stir in the yeast mixture.
3. Cover and leave to prove at room temperature for 50 minutes.
4. Knead again and leave for a further 25 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into three, knead gently into balls and place into the prepared flower pots for a further 25 minutes in a warm place to rise.
6. Bake for 30 minutes at 220C/425F/Gas 7.
Note: For a variation on that recipe, simply add 1 large chopped onion to the ingredients to make onion bread. that is better cooked in tins as pots tend to hold the onion flavour.
