Sardine bread is a yeasted bread containing tinned sardines. It is delicious accompanied by fruit juice.

Ingredients

• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• Salt to taste
• ½ cup + 2 tbsp warm water
• 1 tsp white granulated sugar
• 3 tsp active dry yeast
• 250 ml lukewarm milk
• Sardine oil
• Tinned sardines

Procedure

1. Sift the flour into a clean bowl. Add salt to taste, and mix everything together.
2. In another separate clean bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, yeast, and milk.
3. Transfer the flour mix into the yeast mix. Stir in the sardine oil, and mix it all together to make a dough.
4. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface, and knead it well.
5. Rub some soya oil in a clean bowl. Place the dough in the greased bowl, and turn it to make sure the oil coats the dough. Cover the dough, and proof for at least an hour until it doubles in volume.
6. Press on the dough to deflate it. Knead again, and roll it out.
7. Place the sardines one at a time inside the dough, and roll it up to enclose the sardines.
