Roman Army ‘Slipper’ Bread Recipe

Roman bakers would vigorously mix their dough until smooth which often took up to fifteen minutes, however, this recipe adapted from Doves Farm Organic Flour Specialists needs only a few minutes kneading to develop the gluten. Enriched with olive oil and honey to add flavour, once baked it remains rather flat, like a slipper, remaining true to its ancient name. I am not so sure it keeps that well, as if made with wholemeal spelt flour, extra virgin olive oil and a good quality floral honey
