October Home Made Bread

As in the book Como Agua para Chocolate, I also cook food depending on how I feel

When its Autumn, I feel letargic, and you I am missing the warmth of home I make this October Home Made Bread:

Ingredients:
Self Raising Flower
A glass of lukewarm water
Olive oil
Lupark Butter
Spring Onions
Garlic (2 cloves)
Coriandle
Salt

Cut the Garlic, Spring Onions and Coriandle in very small pieces. Warm the pan, add a little olive oil and fry for 2 mins. Remove from fire

Prepare the dough. Take a bowl. Chuck the flour in it. Mix the water with the flour until you get a firm dough (but still a little bit sticky. If you put too much flour, you wont get bread but home made stones). Put a big spoonful of lupark butter put some salt and chuck the stuff you have fried...mix it with the dough so that the bits go in the bread (not around it). Give it a nice shape and stick it in the oven.. not too long...its better to get the bread slightly undercooked (inside) ...it will finish cooking if you leave it in the oven that will be still be warm but switch off

If you like it let me know...
