Marmite in a Loaf!

I never thought I would fall in love during these days, but, I have. I suspect that this was always going to happen because we've known each other for so many years. We have always been good friends through tough times and better ones. Then it happened. 

MARMITE IN A LOAF

I am head over heels with this bread which stars the king of yeast extract. There are others who play their part and these are changing on a weekly basis. 

Week 1 .. Basic recipe (for one, which lasts a week, for me anyway) .. 

250g plain (bread) flour

4g salt

4g dried yeast

4g Parmesan grated

160ml tepid water

1 tbsp MARMITE (whom, one day, I might marry)

Dry stuff in a bowl 

Mix

Water & Marmite whisked in a jug

Add to dry things

Stir

No kneading

Cover with tea towel or clingfilm 

Love it from afar!

Leave overnight

Gently tip out onto floured greaseproof paper - flour dusting on top - no knocking back required - remind the loaf you love it

Prove for one hour

Put casserole dish with lid into the oven at the hottest setting to warm

Place loaf & the greaseproof paper into the casserole pot & pop the lid on 

15-20 mins then take lid off

5-10 mins to crisp the top

Out

Leave to cool for say, 45 secs, then tear some off and consume greedily

Don't forget to tell the loaf that you adore it ..
