Instructions
- Mix together the flour, salt, yeast and sugar.

- Pour boiling water into the inner pot until the water comes about ¾ of the way up the side of the bread tin.
- Put the inner pot on a heat source and bring back to the boil.
- Once boiling, turn the heat down so the water in simmering. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes with the inner pot lid on.
