3 ½ cups plain flour (wholemeal or white or ½ and ½)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 teaspoon bread improver
1 tablespoon semolina
20 ml milk
20 ml oil
320 ml luke warm water

If using bread maker put all ingredients in and use basic setting it will take about 3 hrs

Otherwise, mix all dry ingredients together and add wet ingredients. Knead until a nice smooth dough this will take about approx 20 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to let rise in warm position until it has doubled its size. Knock back and knead for 2 minutes until tight again.

Portion and shape as required or roll into loaf tin and let rise in warm position until it is. has grown a third of its size again.

Bake at 200 degrees C for 15- 20 minutes for dinner rolls or 25 min for a loaf, or until golden brown and crisp

Grissini
working quickly so they don’t start to rise, roll  tablespoon size pieces into long thin sticks and bake at 200 degrees C for about 15 minutes until golden and crisp. Great with soup or for kids snacks.

This dough recipe makes four large pizzas, brush a teaspoon of oil on a tray and roll bread dough out thin and put on the tray and leave to rest for about 10 minutes. Top with your favourite toppings and bake immediately in a 200 degree C oven for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.

To make dinner rolls: portion into the 12 pieces, roll out thin and then roll up like a sausage,  here I have added a garlic, rosemary, fetta and sundried tomatoes for extra flavour, leave them to rise for about 15 minutes or until they have grown a third of their size again, and bake in a  200 degree C oven.
