  • 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Slowly melt the butter in the milk

  • Cover with film and set aside for at least 30 mins
  • Split into 4 and roll out
  • (At this stage, add any olives, tomato, herbs etc required)

Notes

This bread stays fairly flexible. I like to add olives, gently roll them into the dough before cooking. Kneading helps but is not essential. The core of this recipe is simplicity.
