Herb, garlic and lemon bread....




500g bread flour
1 sachets/2tsp yeast
4tsp olive oil
4 fine grated garlic cloves
3tbsp lemon juice
Herbs of your choice (I used mostly thyme, good pinch rosemary and a bit of basil, fresh frozen)

Combine the bread flour and yeast, add grated garlic and herbs, mix through.
Put oil and lemon juice in a jug and add lukewarm water up to 400ml.
Mix together to form a dough ball.
Tip onto floured surface and knead for 5-10mins.
Place into oiled bowl, cover and leave to prove until doubled in size.
Oil a loaf tin (2lb size)
Tip back out onto floured surface a kneed again
Place into loaf tin and leave covered to double in size again
Bake on 160 for around 40 min, until it sounds hollow when you tap the bottom

TIP- If you switch your oven on high for 1 min, then switch off. It should be warm enough for you to leave in the oven to prove and it will prove faster in a warmer environment. 

We've served this with the Thai noodle soup and it as GORGEOUS! :)
