Steps:
- Measure out the flour and add it to a large mixing bowl or freestanding mixer. Measure the butter, then melt it in your microwave, before adding it to your flour.
- Add the yeast and the salt to separate sides of the bowl.
- Finally, add the water - it should be warm, but not too hot.
- Mix everything together until it comes together into a soft sticky dough. You can either do this with wooden spoons, hands or the dough hook on your freestanding mixer.
- Once your dough has formed, you need to knead it until it forms a soft, sticky ball of dough - it'll take around 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, use your mixer with the dough hook for 4-5 minutes.
- Oil a bowl then pop the dough in it. Cover it with cling film so no air can escape then leave it in a warm place to rise. Leave it for an hour or two until it has doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out on to a floured work surface, and knock it back. Basically you need to knock the air out of it by folding it in on itself and bashing it.
- Once you've done this shape the dough into a round ball. We did this by flattening it into a rectangle then folding the ends under. We then turned the dough round, trying to smooth the top by tucking the ends under.
- Pop the round dough on a baking tray and cover loosely with either a large plastic bag or cling film and leave it in a warm place for 45 minutes or so until it's doubled in size again.
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C Fan
- Bake your bread in your oven for 20-25 minutes. It's ready when it's browned nicely and if you tap the bottom of the loaf it should sound hollow.
