Ingredients:

  • 400ml milk

  • 40g butter

  • 540g bread flour plus an extra 30g for dough consistency

  • 7g instant yeast

  • 6g salt

  • 1 beaten egg

  • Semolina for coating


Instructions:

  1. Warm the milk and butter together in a pan or microwave in a jug.

  2. Add the flour to a large mixing bowl and mix through the salt, make a well in the centre. Pour in the warm milk and butter, along with the yeast and the beaten egg.

  3. Mix to form a dough.

  4. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 15 minutes.

  5. After 15 minutes, pull the dough from the edges, into the centre. Do this until you’ve worked around all the edges.

  6. Repeat 3 times with 15 minute breaks.

  7. Empty the dough onto a floured surface and divide into 12 equal sized balls, use the additional flour if dough is sticky.

  8. Place on a tray, sprinkled with semolina and prove for 1 hour.

  9. Cook in a dry pan on a low to medium heat for around 4 minutes per side. Don’t be tempted to cook on a high heat as it would cook unevenly.

  10. Top tip - Use multiple pans for this part to make the process quicker and easier.
