Ingredients

  • 500 g plain/all-purpose flour, not bread/strong or wholewheat/wholegrain
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (10ml)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (5ml)
  • 320 ml milk, preferably whole, but see Note

Equipment

Baking sheet
or
Baking stone

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/ gas mark 6/ 400°F. Put a baking sheet or a baking/pizza stone in the oven to heat
  • Mix the dry ingredients. Stir in the milk, then bring the dough together by stirring the ingredients until it forms a dough. It's easiest to do this with your hands
  • Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead briefly until the dough has a uniform consistency.
    See post above for kneading instructions
  • Shape the dough into a round disc about 2-3cm thick (1-1½ inches). Score the top with a deep cross. 
    Don't make it thicker or it won't cook in the middle
  • Bake on the hot stone or baking sheet for about 35 minutes until light brown. Remove the bread and tap on the bottom - if it sounds hollow, it's done. If not, leave for another 5 minutes.

Notes

 
  • If you don't have milk you can make some up with powdered milk or half-and-half yogurt and water.
