1. Preheat the oven to 180C (fan-forced). 

2. Sift flour into a bowl through a fine sieve.

3. Add a 1/4 cup of powdered milk and mix it with the flour.

4. Make a well in the middle of the mixed ingredients, and gradually pour in the water. Mix the ingredients together and add more water as needed until it forms a dough.

5. Knead the dough into a ball.

6. Dust a surface with flour, and shape the dough into a circle, 16cm across.  

7. Brush dough with a little milk mixed with water and glaze the top of the dough.

8. Place onto a tray dusted with flour. Cook in the oven for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown. 

9. Remove from the oven, and serve with your favourite honey and jam. Enjoy!
