Knead the dough for 10 minutes before first proving.
Put salt and yeast at opposite sides in bowl.
Water should be warm like tap warm water. If you use hot water then yeast will not going to work.
I told you the water measurement but it can be slightly change because of different brand flours.
If you do not have fresh yeast the use dried active yeast 1/2 oz. That is half of the amount of fresh yeast.
Black treacle is for colour,if you don’t have it add in 1 tbsp sugar.
You can also egg wash the bread before baking but I am just dusting it with flour.
