Ingredients
500g Finest Strong White flour
7g dried fast action yeast (or 14g fresh yeast)
10g fat or olive oil
7g sea salt
300ml lukewarm water
Method
Baking by Hand
1. Grease the bread tin(s). Place the flour, salt, yeast and fat into a large mixing bowl. Mix the fat through the flour and make a well in the centre of the flour mixture.
2. Add most of the water to the well, keeping a little in reserve, and mix to a soft dough. Add the remaining water if necessary.
3. Tip the dough onto a table and knead for 8-10 minutes.
4. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with oiled cling film or a damp tea towel. Rest in a warm place until the dough doubles in size. This will take approximately 45 minutes.
5. Split the dough into two pieces if desired. Mould the dough round and fold to the shape of the tin(s). Place the dough piece into the tin, seam down, cover with oiled cling film or a damp tea towel. Put in a warm place and allow to rise about 1cm above the tin. This will take 45-60 minutes.
6. Uncover and bake in a preheated oven, 220°C fan/240°C/430°F/Gas 8. Bake small loaves for 20-25 minutes or a large loaf for 30-35 minutes.
7. Remove the loaf from the tin. Check it is baked by tapping the bottom of the loaf - it should sound hollow. Place on a wire rack to cool.

best flour for bread
I use this every time for my sourdough loaves and they always turn out great. Wish ocado stocked it in larger volumes like a 5kg bag.
Perfect
Made multiple loafs and cookies with this and it has never failed me!
Do not buy
Ive been making sourdough for about 1 year now and settled for the best flour which is Dove organic although a bit expensive so I thought Id give this one a try. Flat loaf, sticky dough and not that great to be honest.
great bake
This gorgeous flour makes really good bread flavoursome and excellent texture
Reliably great
Used this for years, but recently strayed and tried another brand. 1st bag made great bread, 2nd bag resulted in very ordinary loaves that never quite behaved. Returned to Marriages and my sourdough today was perfect. If I used instagram I would be proudly posting photos. I wont be straying again.
consistent results
On 8th bag and not been disappointed in results so far.
