Method

  1. Lightly oil a 25cm round cake tin. Put the flour, salt and yeast in the Kenwood Bowl. Using the Dough Hook on minimum speed, gradually mix in 210ml lukewarm water and the oil to form a soft dough.
  2. Knead for 1 minute on minimum and 4 minutes on speed 1, until smooth. Cover the Kenwood bowl with lightly oiled clear film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  3. Using the Dough Hook on minimum speed for 30-60 seconds, knead the dough to knock back. Press into the tin, taking the dough to the edges.
  4. Cover with the oiled cling film and leave to rise, in a warm place, for 20 minutes, until almost doubled in size. Using your fingertips, make deep dimples in the dough. Cover and leave to rise for about 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Sprinkle the dough with the sage leaves, onion, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with the oil and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until golden.
