Roll it out on a floured board then place it on your dishful of hotpot, with a slit in the middle to let the steam out. Brush it with milk and bake it at gas mark 6 for about half an hour until it's a lovely golden colour. Eat and enjoy!

Bon appetite.
Thanx .... I'm going to have to try this one; but, what is gas mark 6? Can you translate into temp? I don't have a gas stove, I have electric.
