My bread a picture at last

 

Well blimming 'eck ... Ally alerted me to the fact that there was something different about adding pictures and I have found that I am able to add my bread at last.   Now its really easy, had to be if I was able to do it and it looks very professional.  It is delicious just after baking and for the rest of the day.  Sliced thinly with some cheese on the side, ooooh.

8oz self raising flour
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1oz butter
1 smallish onion finely chopped
4oz mature cheddar cheese coarsely grated (I just chopped it up)
1 egg
4-5 tablespoons of milk

Mix the flour and pepper together and rub in the butter

Stir in the onion and cheese and make a well in the centre

Whisk together the egg and milk and pour into the well and mix to a soft dough

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and kneed quickly into a small round of about 6-7 inches

Using a knife cut a lattice on top of the round, pressing quite hard so definite cut marks showing

Put on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 190 or gas mark 5 until well risen or golden brown (about 40 minutes).  Turn the bread over and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack.

I hope you are able to try doing this.  Let me know what you think of it, its a great hit in my family and last time I did it I ended up having to make another one and fighting them off of it until Paul got home and could have a slice!

ps:  Got home to find the tiler has been again and tiles all grouted now ... so not much to do now and the kitchen will finally be done (new plugs put on and decorating ceiling and wall).
