Ingredients

12.5g (half a cub) Fresh Yeast

110 ml Luke Warm Water (not warmer than 30deg C)

110g Cake Flour

200g Butter

300g Sugar

6 Eggs

420g Flour

1.5tbs Lebkuchen Spice

1tsp Salt

300g Chock Chips / nuts or raisins etc

Directions

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water

Add 110g flour to it and mix well

Dust with a little flour and put in a bowl covered with cling wrap

Place in an oven of about 30deg C for half an hour

Cream butter and sugar and eggs one by one.

Sift flour with Lebkuchen spice and salt

Throw the whole dry lot onto the egg cream and slowly start to incorporate them

Once they are mixed you can the choc chips/nuts or raisings.

Mix well

Incorporate the yeast mix (by now double its size) very slowly and with respect for the process that is busy happening

Butter a flat pan of 30x30x5cm deep and then line it with baking paper

Butter the baking paper as well

Put the batter into the pan and level it

Cover the pan with cling wrap and keep in an oven of 30deg C for one hour

Bake in an oven at 160deg C for 30minutes and put it on a cake rack to cool down completely

When it is cold you can cut in in fingers and space them on an oven tray for drying at 80deg C for 2 hours

The outside must be had but the inside soft

Its worth it TRUST ME :-))))
