A small loaf of granary, a very easy recipe and perfect for someone like me who doesn’t eat bread all time. I can whip up a loaf on the day and it lasts a week or so.

250g strong bread flour (200g country grain/50g white flour)

3.5g dried yeast

1/2 tsp salt

150 ml warm water

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tbsp honey

Put flour in bowl, yeast on one side and salt on the other. Mix the oil and honey with the water, and then add to the flour. Mix together until you have a sticky dough. Knead on a floured surface for around 10 minutes (or 5 mins in a mixer). Oil a loaf tin, and place the dough in, cover and leave to rise for around an hour. Needs to be slight warm place to help the yeast.

Once risen, put in oven at 180° for 30-35 mins until risen and brown. Job done.
