Ingredients:

Method:

In a measuring jug, combine last 3 ingredients and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Give water mix a good stir to combine yeast and oil. Add to dry ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon until a smooth sticky dough forms. Cover with cling film and leave to prove for approx. 1 ½ hrs. Turn out onto floured surface and play with the dough until it’s workable and not too sticky. Cut in half and shape each chunk into a loaf. Place on a floured baking tray and bake at 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown and hollow sounding when knocked underneath. Enjoy!!

Nova’s Breakfast Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups Plain Flour
1 Egg
2 teaspoons Castor Sugar
250 ml Milk
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
Pinch of salt
110 g butter (must be cold, out the fridge)

Method:

In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar & baking powder. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a dough cutter or pulse in a food processor for 10 secs until the mixture looks like large breadcrumbs. Don’t over cut. In a 250 ml jug or measure, crack the egg into it and fill up to the 250 ml line with milk. Whisk together until well mixed. Using a fork, pour the egg mixture into the flour bowl but save a teaspoon back for brushing the scones. The mixture will be quite sticky. Turn out onto a floured surface and using your fingertips, pat the dough into about half an inch thickness. Cut rounds with a scone cutter and place on a greased baking tray. Bring all the off-cuts together into a ball and repeat the patting process until all the dough is used up. Brush top of scones with the remaining egg mixture and bake at 180 for about 10-15 mins or until the tops are golden brown. Be careful to watch them as they can overcook quickly.
