1. 1

   The Spanish love their bread and after tasting this, so do we! With the starter mix, it’s halfway to a sourdough and it’s a good old-fashioned hearty bread that keeps well.

2. 2

   For the starter, pour the water into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar. Lightly stir in the yeast and leave in a warm place for about 10 minutes or until a beige foam floats on the surface. Stir in the flour to make a thick paste, then cover with cling film and leave at room temperature for 24 hours. At the end of the 24 hours the paste will smell yeasty and slightly fermented – a bit like beer.
