   4 1/2   ts           Dry yeast
   2       c            Warm water
   2       tb           Honey
   2       c            Barley flour

  from the sides of the bowl.  Place dough on a lightly floured surface
  & knead well for 10 minutes.  Add more flour as necessary.  Place
  dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl.  Cover & leave to double.

  cross in the centre.  Place on an oiled baking sheet, cover & let
