- Using a wet spatula, place the dough onto the parchment rectangle and shape the loaf into a rectangle approximately 5 x 8 inches (12 x 20m)
- Keep using the wet spatula to create a smooth surface and then make 8 dividing/tear lines, one down the middle and four from side to side. Don’t cut all the way to the bottom of the dough
- Sprinkle with linseed, poppy seed, or gluten free flour, slide into the parchment bag and fold over to seal
- Leave for 30 minutes to prove at room temperature, the dough will not rise, just relax

- Remove, place on a cooling rack and open the bag to let out steam and allow to cool completely before sharing
Tips
- This loaf is best made a day in advance and served hot by reheating for 10 minutes in a preheated oven 200°C Fan Oven 210°C Gas Mark 6/7. For extra cheesiness sprinkle with more grated cheese of your choice!
- When you sprinkle with seeds try adding some dry chillies to pep up the crust flavour
- If you don’t like mustard add dried basil, chives or herbs of your choice
- Try adding nutritional yeast instead of cheese, to make these vegan!
