The dough should come together, using the spatula, spoon the dough into a lightly oiled large bowl. Cover with cling film and set aside in a warm place (I placed mine on a sunny bench) for at least 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Preheat oven 220°C. Turn the dough out onto a paper-lined baking tray. Glaze with milk, sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

TIPS: I want to share a couple of really simple, useful tips I learnt when starting to bake bread.

• A Thermo only kneads for 2 minutes, it’s an automatic timer when the knead function is selected

• Always use lukewarm water

• Never allow the salt and yeast to come into contact … Salt deactivates the yeast

• Always allow the dough to rise in a warm 22–25°C place (even on cooler days).
