Ingredients
- 4 cups plain flour (4 kapu paura tōkau)
- 2 Tbsp sugar (2P huka)
- 2 cups Rewana Starter Bug (2 kapu whakaohooho rēwana)
- 2 cups lukewarm water (2 kapu wai mahana)
Method
- 1. Add all dry ingredients into a bowl, make a well in the middle (Whakaurua ngā kai maroke katoa ki tētahi oko, keria mai he rua ki weanga).
- 2. Add all wet ingredients and combine. Mix well (Āpitihia ngā whakaurunga mākū, ā, whakaranua. Kia pai te whakaranu).
- 3. Place on a floured bench and knead gently for 5-10 minutes or until it is not sticky (Whakatakotohia ki tētahi papa kai, he paura o runga, ā, āta pokepoke mō te 5-10 meneti, kia maroke mai rānei te hanga).
- 4. Place in a greased Umu or deep baking dish (Whakaurua ki tētahi Umu, ki tētahi oko tunu hōhonu rānei kua whakahinutia).
- 5. Cover with a tea towel and allow to rise until double in size (Kapia ki tētahi tītaora, ā, tukua kia piki haere, kia pūrua te rahi).
- 6. Cook from a cold oven, set temperature at 150c for 45 minutes (Tīmatahia te tunu i te oumu makariri, whakatauhia te mahana ki te 150 tākiri mō te 45 meneti).
- 7. Once cooked, wrap in a wet tea towel and allow to cool before cutting (Kia māoa, tākaia ki te tītaora mākū, tukua kia mātao i mua i te tapa).
