Directions

1. Mix the yeast and honey with water until diluted.  Add salt to the flour and pour onto a cold surface. 

2. Make a well in the centre of the flour and gradually pour the liquid into the flour to make a dough.  Kneed the dough until smooth.

3. Proof the dough by keeping it in a warm place until it doubles in size.  Kneed the dough again and form into shape of loaf. 

4. Leave in a warm place until it doubles in size ( approximately 45 mins). Place the loaf into a hot oven ( 200c) with a tray of water in the bottom of the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
