Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 14:13:31 GMT

Step 1

Measure 250ml of boiling water into a jug, and mix in 1 tbsp of Marmite or similar yeast extract until melted down. Leave to turn warm.

Step 2

Mix the two flours (sieved), yeast and salt in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the warm water mix to everything else in the bowl and stir well into a sticky dough ball.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for around 10-15 minutes and finish with it formed into a ball shape.

Step 5

In a clean bowl add a little olive oil (a half to whole tsp), add the dough ball and give it a gentle roll around in order to coat it evenly (becomes non-stick).

Step 6

Cover the bowl with cling film and put somewhere to rise for 1 hour. The airing cupboard is good where it's warm!

Step 7

Smash up the Cashew Nuts so they are easier to manage. I used a bag and crushed them between two chopping boards.

Step 8

Remove the now risen dough ball and knead again for 10 minutes, adding in the smashed nuts as you go.

Step 9

Either form the dough into a loaf tin shape and add into a greased loaf tin or leave as a ball and put into a bowl again for the last prove/rise before baking. Make sure either way that you cling film over the top and that the cling film is greased.

Step 10

Leave to rise for 45 minutes.

Step 11

Either put the loaf tin or a flat baking tray holding the gently pressed ball of dough straight into a preheated oven (200°c/180°c fan) for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool before cutting into this delicious beast.
