  2 tsp Salt
  1 oz Margarine

Method

  1. Mix the flour and the salt in a bowl and rub in the margarine.
  2. Stir in the dried yeast or add the fresh yeast to warm water and mix well.
  3. Mix the yeast and water mixture into the flour mixture and knead until smooth.  This is best done in a Kenwood Mixer with a dough hook otherwise by hand on the bench.
  4. Grease 2 1lb bread tins and divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and shape to fit the tins.
  5. Cover with greased polythene or cling film and allow to rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
  6. Bake in 230C or 450F Gas Mark 8 for 25 to 30 minutes or until hollow when the base of the bread is tapped with the knuckles.
  7. Alternatively the dough can be used to make rolls in which case bake for 15 to 20 minutes depending upon size.
  8. One of the best recipes my mother tried.  Sadly my brother and I preferred shop bought bread which was much softer.  However, I have tried the recipe recently and it makes delicious bread, best eaten fresh.
