This recipe is purposely simple to lend itself to both savoury or sweet bread creations.
Once the dough has proved you choose how to use it. From buns & scrolls to plaits & traditional loaves. For a savoury option we recommend adding pesto & cheese for sweet try butter, cinnamon & sugar or a stewed apple. Enjoy!
