Cottage Loaf
A friend started me on this – it was his birthday and he asked me if he could see his name in bread – better than in lights! These baked letters are not for eating, but for display only.

Instructies
Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix until you have a soft, pliable dough.
Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead with your fingers for 5 minutes, then put back in the bowl and rest the dough for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F/gas mark 8.
Tip the dough out onto your floured surface, rip off a third of the dough and shape into a ball.
Shape the remaining dough into a ball and place the smaller ball on top of the larger, then flatten slightly with your hand.
Push your finger down through the centre of the loaf from top to bottom until you can feel the table.
Dust the loaf with flour and, using a knife, make vertical slashes from the top of the loaf to the bottom (be careful not to cut yourself).
Put onto a lined baking tray and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
When cooled, serve with chunks of cheese
