Doris Grant "No-Knead Loaf"

A super simple, no-knead loaf invented by Mrs Grant in the 1940s. Add a
handful of seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, poppy or a mix) to the dough to
accentuate the deliciously nutty flavour.

* 1lb/450g strong wholemeal or spelt flour
* 1 tsp brown sugar or honey
* ½ sachet easy-blend or easy-bake yeast
* 2 tsp salt
* 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Mix the flour with the sugar or honey, yeast and 2 tsp salt. Stir in the
oil or butter and ¾pt/420ml water to make a loose, sticky dough.

Scrape the dough into a greased 1lb/450g loaf tin.

Cover loosely with oiled clingfilm; leave in a warm place for 30 mins
(until dough has risen by a third).

Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/gas mark 7.

Bake for half an hour. Slip out of the tin and check that the base
sounds hollow when tapped (if not, give it another 5-10 minutes). Cool
on a rack.
