How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour, salt and yeast in the food processor bowl. Add the water and honey, knead to form a soft, smooth dough using the dough hook on a food processor. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

To shape

On a lightly floured surface, flatten the dough a little, shape into a ball and then into a long loaf, place on a sheet of baking paper, dust the dough with flour. Cover and leave to rise again at room temperature for approx. 30 mins. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal incisions approx. 1 cm deep into the dough. Then cut into some of the resulting strips using scissors to form pointed tips.

To bake

Approx. 15 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 220°C. Reduce the heat to 180°C and bake for a further 20 mins. Remove the bread from the oven, leave to cool on a cooling rack.
