I was having a discussion with my cousin a couple of weeks ago regarding what to do if you don't have a hot water cupboard to rise the dough in. We came to the conclusion that you could cover the bowl in glad wrap and let it rise in a steamy bathroom while you were showering, in a sunny room, or in a room that the heater was on in (just don't put the dough right next to the heater). There's a way around almost everything!
You need approximately two and a half hours to make this loaf, so it's good to make it when you've got a bit of time - don't rush it!
Ingredients;
3c White Flour
3tsp Yeast
1c Warm Water
2tbsp Olive Oil
2tsp Sugar
2tbsp Milk Powder (I used full milk, but I'm sure it'd be fine with trim)
2tsp Salt
Mix everything together and put in hot water cupboard for 15 minutes.
Retrieve from hot water cupboard and knead on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes.
Put back in bowl, lightly coat in olive oil, and biff back in hot water cupboard for 30mins to 1hr.
Lightly knead for one minute, put into loaf tin, shove back in hot water cupboard for 1 hr. Preheat oven to 200c.
Bake for 20 mins or until nicely browned and sounds hollow when tapped.
Best eaten straight from oven, but will keep for several days if refrigerated.
