- Cover and leave to rise for 20 minutes.
- While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Notes
- Weigh your flour for the most accurate results.
- Maple syrup can be replaced by another sweetener such as agave nectar or other syrup.
- If your dough hasn't quite risen as high as mine in the picture at the 20 minute mark then leave it a couple more minutes, sometimes it takes a couple of minutes longer to get to the perfect height, but don't leave it too long or it will rise too high and then you'll get a muffin top loaf!
- Prep time includes the 20 minutes spent rising.
