Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
In another container, thin the peanut paste with the lukewarm water until you have a smooth cream.
Add the peanut mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients and knead until you have a uniform dough.
Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, then cover and leave to rise for 1 hour 30 minutes in a warm place.
Knock back the dough, shape it into a round loaf or a log and place it in a buttered tin.
Leave to rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake at 180 °C for 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is golden and a knife inserted in the centre comes out dry.
