Lunch Thursday 29 March - Leftover Burgoo and bread



Finished off the Burgoo along with a slice of a new loaf of bread.

March Malthouse Bread
200ml warm water
10g dried yeast
2 teaspoons golden unrefined sugar
45g malt extract
40g skimmed milk powder
1 organic, free range egg
20g linseeds
1 teaspoon salt
480g Dove's Farm organic Malthouse flour

This is a minor variation on my usual recipe.

Combine the warm water, sugar and yeast and leave to bloom.

Add the milk powder, egg, salt, linseeds and half the flour. Mix well into a sponge. Leave to rise 1 hour.

Add the rest of the flour and mix and knead until smooth and elastic.

Leave to rise and knock back twice more.

Form into a loaf and place in an oiled 2 pound tin. Leave to rise a final time and bake in a hot oven until bottom sounds hollow (about 25-30 minutes).

Makes one 750g loaf
