To prepare this easy bread recipe, add into a basin all the ingredients and blend with your hands, until the dough becomes an elastic ball. Alternatively, add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix using your hand-mixer with the dough hook attached until the dough is soft and does not crumble.

Preheat the oven to 200C (400F) (with both top and bottom heating elements on) or 180C (350F) fan.

Turn the dough out onto a floured board, wet your hands and split it in half. Knead each half with your hands, to form two round loafs.

Sprinkle the bread loafs with some water and sieve with some flour. You can also sprinkle with some sesame seeds for some extra crunchiness.

With a sharp knife, score the top of each loaf. Make 3-4 slashes across the top with a few deeper than the others.

Layer the bottom of a baking tray with some greaseproof paper and place the loafs on top. Bake in the preheated oven at 200C (400F) for 60-70 minutes, until a nicely coloured crust forms and is cooked throughout.
