Making bread and butter

 A few days ago me and my group made bread and butter the way people made it in the 1800's.

The first thing we did was make the butter to make it you will need:

•  Cream
• Jar
• button

first you put the button in the jar, then you pour the cream in, after you have done that you put the lid on and shake it for about 30 mins. (you should feel it getting thicker) Once you have done that you should end up with butter and whey, whey is they part that is still runny. one we had done that we toke the butter out of the jar and put it in the fridge. 

Next we made the bread the ingredients were:

• 3 cups of self-raising flour
• pinch of salt
• 80g butter, chilled, cubed (NOT the one you made)
• 3/4 cup water

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200c. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.  

Step 2

Add the water to the flour mixture and use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until the mixture just comes together, adding 1-2 tablespoons extra water if the mixture is a little dry. use your hands to bring the mixture together.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Shape into an 18cm disc and place on tray. Use a sharp knife that has been dipped in flour to mark 8 wedges on top. Dust the damper with a little extra flour and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the damper is cooked through and sounds hollow when tapped on the base transfer to a wire rack for 5 minutes to cool slightly serve warm or at room temperature.
