This recipe was super easy and hardly takes anytime at all and I will be using it a lot more! It was enough for a small loaf and about 7 small rolls. A few of which are missing as they were un resistible straight out of the oven slathered in butter!
600g strong white bread flour plus extra for dusting
500ml lukewarm water
1 sachet fast action yeast
1 table spoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
25g soft butter
In a jug combine water with yeast and sugar. In a large mixing bowl add the flour, salt and butter, mix and run in the butter. Push the flour to the outside of the bowl to make a well for the yeast mix to go in. Pour in the yeast mixture and slowly combine with a dinner knife until combined. Place the dough onto a floured surface and kneed u till smooth, usually takes 10-15 minutes.
Flour the bowl that you made the dough in lightly to coat the bowl and place the dough into the bowl and cover with a teatowel. Place in a warm area for about 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Once ready place the dough on your work surface and knock back the air and divide into two pieces, on piece about a third of the loaf for the cobs and the two thirds section for the loaf. Shape the larger piece and put in lightly dusted loaf tin and split the smaller piece and roll into the desired amout of cobs, placing these on a flour dusted baking tray. Cover again with a teatowel and leave in a warm place again for about an hour until they have risen again.
Once ready dust the loaf and cobs with flour and place in a pre heated oven at 180. The cobs will take about 10-15 minutes and the loaf about 30 minutes depending on the oven. To test to see if they are ready lift a cob or the loaf and tap the bottom of it. If it sounds hollow it's ready :)
Serve and enjoy!
