Contains 6 sachets
Each 7g sachet = 2 teaspoons

Hand Baking Makes 1 Large Loaf
500g Hovis Strong White Bread Flour
25g Butter
1 1/4 Tsp salt
1 Hovis Fast Action Bread Yeast Sachet
275ml Warm water
2 Tsp sugar to give added flavour and thicker crust (optional)

1 In a large bowl, mix together the flour, (optional sugar) and salt. Rub in the butter then stir in the yeast.
2 Stir in the water and mix into a soft dough by hand.
3 Knead for 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Place in a bowl and cover with a clean, damp tea towel (this stops the dough from drying out). Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4 Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and shape the dough then place in a greased 2lb tin or on an oven tray. Cover with a clean, damp tea towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in size (45 min to 1 hour).
5 Uncover and bake in an oven, preheated to 230°C (210°C Fan, Gas Mark 8) for 30-35 minutes.
6 Take the loaf out of the tin and cool on a rack. The baked loaf should sound hollow when tapped underneath.

Soft Crust

Golden Crust
