Ingredients
- 290 ml water warm
- 200 ml Sno-Pro or Milupa-lp-Drink

- 9 g psyllium husks
- 1 box (500g) Loprofin Baking Mix
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Tomato pesto, red onion and rosemary to garnish
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 sachet yeast (included with Baking Mix)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C.
- Place the water, Sno-Pro, yeast, salt, sugar and psyllium husks in a bowl, stir and allow to stand for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Add the Baking Mix and olive oil to the thickened mixture and beat for 2–3 minutes.
- Leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
- Dust your work surface liberally with Baking Mix.
- Divide the mixture into 3 equal pieces and roll each one into a long sausage shape (approximately 50cm).
- Place each piece side by side and begin to plait the bread: Take the left strand and cross it over the middle strand. Take the right strand and cross it over the middle strand.
- Repeat crossing left over centre, followed by right over centre until you reach the end. Pinch the ends together to seal the plait.
