This hearty loaf makes a good accompaniment for grilled fish or meat and is great as a base for a sandwich. If you want an even more flavourful variation, you can add garlic or fresh chopped herbs.

  • 2 onions, finely chopped

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the onions for 3 minutes until transparent, then remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.

  2. Mix the flour with the sugar. Dissolve the yeast in 500ml/17fl oz/generous 2 cups lukewarm water
