English Translation

This is a bread from Crymych, where the bakestone is called a 'planc'.

Ingredients:

900g (2 lbs) plain flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
30g dried yeast
300ml (1 1/4 cup) [about] warm milk
a little warm water

Method:

Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a warm bowl.

Soften the yeast in a little warm water and put aside to activate for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.

Then pour the yeasted water into the flour and mix the dough gradually, adding warm milk as needed and kneading well until soft in texture.

Cover and set the dough aside to rise in a warm place for approximately one and a half hours.

Divide the dough and shape into round, flat loaves – do not make them too thick.

Cook on both sides on a moderately hot bakestone.
