Pour water and 1 tablespoon olive oil into bread pan

Sprinkle over fĺour, covering the liquid, in separate corners, place the sugar, salt & yeast. Set machine to dough or basic and press start. If your machine places flour in first, reverse order of wet and dry ingredients.

Lightly oil a 12 inch pizza pan or baking sheet, when dough cycle has finished remove dough and place on a floured surface. Dough should be quite soft.

Knock back the dough. Add drops of water if too dry or sprinkle with flour if too wet..Form into a ball.

Roll or knead out to fit pan, place in pan & cover with oiled clear/ cling film, put in a warm place for 20 minutes & allow to rise.

Preheat oven to 200C/ 400°F, uncover risen loaf and make dimples all over with your finger tips, re-cover & leave in warm place for 10-15 minutes until doubled in size..

Remove film and sprinkle wth topping of your choice, e.g sliced onion, sea salt, sesame seeds, or sun dried tomatoes, a good choice is New York steak spice, drizzle with olive oil... Experiment and have fun !

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown & loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom. Remove from pan & place on wire rack to cool slightly. Best served warm.

Enjoy
