Simple Yorkshire Bread
The Stringer family has farmed on the Yorkshire Wolds for more than half a century, converting their land to organic farming in 1999. Alongside crops and livestock, the company produces flour, bread mixes and porridge oats from organic cereals grown and milled on the farm using a traditional wooden mill.
| Difficulty: Easy
Method
- Place dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add liquid ingredients.
- Mix with a dough hook for 5 minutes or knead by hand for 10 minutes until it forms a doughy ball.
- Put dough back into bowl and cover bowl with a damp tea towel.
- Leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Once doubled in size take out of bowl and ‘knock down’ the dough with your fist to let the air out.
- Once this is done put into your loaf tin and cover again. Leave to rise a second time for about half an hour.
- Cook in a hot oven for about half an hour.
- To check if done turn out of tin and knock on the bottom of the loaf – if it sounds hollow, its done. Leave to cool on a rack.
- Before baking you can sprinkle with water and dust with porridge oats or flour.
- You can also add herbs, grated cheese or seeds for different flavours.

Tried this at the weekend. Tasted pretty good for a first attempt.
