Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6.

Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the liquid ingredients. Draw the flour into the centre and mix well, until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl, or mix in a food processor.

Turn on to a floured surface and knead for five minutes. Shape the dough and put it into a lightly greased 2lb loaf tin. Cover loosely with lightly oiled clingfilm and allow to rise in a moderately warm place for about half an hour, until doubled in size.
