INSTRUCTIONS
Mash the yeast with a little of the water until it looks like mud. Add the
sugar and leave for 10 minutes until frothy.
Put the rest of the water, the flour, a little of the salt and the olive
oil into a large bowl. When the yeast is frothy, add that too. Knead
thoroughly for about 5 minutes. cover with a clean, damp tea towel or cling
film and leave it in the bowl in a warm place for about 30 minutes. It will
double in size.
Take the dough out, put on a board, cut it in half and spread so you have
two dinner plate-sized pieces. Sprinkle the rest of the salt over the top,
then add the rosemary or sage leaves, patting them into the dough.
Put the loaves into a hot oven, gas mark 7, 400F, 200C for about 20
minutes.
The bread will only rise marginally and will have a lovely pale golden top.
