Chilli bread

I wandered lonely as a cloud.......around the internet and found this recipe for Chilli Bread on another blog. I usually get all my bread from Liz at The Good Loaf but she had very rudely gone on holiday for a couple of weeks, leaving Stokesy and I high and dry. I just can't face eating commercially produced bread anymore so I had to roll up my sleeves and do the deed myself. I was absolutely made up with the result

375g wholemeal strong flour

375g white strong flour

3 teaspoons salt

2-3 teaspoons chilli flakes

7g sachet of dry yeast

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl

Add 450ml water (at room temperature)

Combine into dough & knead until elastic - around 5/10 minutes

Leave to rise in bowl (cover with damp cloth) for 2 hours

Knock back & shape into 'tin' shaped & pop in a floured tin

Leave to rise again for 45 minutes

Cook for 15 minutes at 230 ° c then for 20/25 minutes at 200 ° c until cooked

Leave to cool on rack
