Hand made bread

Mix 140 ml quite warm water with 2 heaped tablespoons of fresh compressed yeast and 2 teaspoons honey.

Let sit 10 - 15 min till frothy.

Mix in 6 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons salt and 370 ml of water - will probably need more water.

Turn out onto a floured surface, knead, place in loaf tin, rise once (20- 30 min) then bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 40 -45 minutes.

Note - fresh yeast can be bought from some bakers, and from the fruit & veg shop at the Woolies end of Chermside Shopping Centre.
