Instructions

- Gradually add the lukewarm water, kneading until you have a soft dough that is not sticky.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour at room temperature, until the dough has doubled in size.
- Knock back the dough, shape it into a round loaf and place it in a buttered tin or on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 200 °C for 40 to 45 minutes, until the bottom sounds hollow when tapped, then let it cool on a rack.
Variations and tips
Without wheat. Replace the wheat flour with extra sorghum flour; the bread will be denser.
