Method

  1. Step 1:

    We have this method in video format if you prefer to watch. 

     

    MIX Mix the flours, yeast and salt in a big bowl. Mix together the melted butter, sugar and water, then mix in with a cutlery knife.

     

  2. Step 2:

    KNEAD

    Tip onto a lightly flour dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your mixer

  3. Step 3:

    RISE

    Lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil. Put the dough back in, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size.

  4. Step 4:

    SHAPE Roll to a 45cm long log. Slice in half lengthways but leave one end attached, and from that end twist the two lengths of dough together. Lift onto a floured baking sheet and pinch the two ends together to make a wreath.

  5. Step 5:

    PROVE

    Cover the dough again with a clean tea towel and leave to prove until doubled in size again. Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6).

  6. Step 6:

    BAKE

    Lift the tray onto the middle oven shelf and bake for 25-35 minutes, until when you tap the base of the wreath it sounds hollow. Cool on a wire rack.
