  • step 6

    Bake for about 50 mins, or until puffed up and cooked through – a skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Slice before serving. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
