1 1/2 cup

full cream milk

1 tbsp

freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine the milk and lemon juice in a jug, stir once then set aside for five minutes to curdle.

* Step 2

Preheat the oven to 200 C.

* Step 3

Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour.

* Step 4

In a large bowl, put the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir in the milk, then dust a clean surface with more flour and tip the dough out onto it.

* Step 5

Do not knead the dough, but form it into a round shape.

* Step 6

Pick the dough up and place it on the baking sheet.

* Step 7

Use a sharp serrated knife to cut a cross into the top of the bread.

* Step 8

Lightly dust the top of the bread with more flour.

* Step 9

Put the bread into the oven and immediately drop the temperature to 190 C.

* Step 10

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or basically until it has a hollow sound to it when you lift it and tap the bottom.

* Step 11

Remove to cool on a wire rack - if you like the crust crunchy, just leave it to cool as it is, but if you like a softer crust, wrap the bread in a clean tea towel.
