< p > This is the easiest thing in the world.< / p >
< ol >
< li > Dry-fry (no oil etc.) the peanuts in the large frying pan for about 10 mins or for as long as it takes for the peanuts to become golden brown.
< ul >
< li > This will encourage the oils in the peanuts to release - which is exactly what we want!< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > Put the now-roasted peanuts into the blender and blend.
< ul >
< li > Blend, blend, blend and blend some more.< / li >
< li > There will be a point when you think nothing's happening and the small bits of peanut are just moving around the blender, or just stuck in place. Give the stuck pieces a nudge with a spatula and get back to blending.< / li >
< li > Blend, blend, blend even more until, eventually, the mixture starts to bind together and turn into a thick solid mass.< / li >
< li > Keep blending and the mixture will loosen up become a lovely, smooth, peanut butter.< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > Spoon out into a suitable container and allow to cool (or just eat it there and then, I won't judge you).< / li >
< / ol >
< p > Top Tips =< / p >
< ul >
< li > If you prefer a chunky peanut butter, save some of the roasted peanuts back and only put them into the blended mixture at the end with a bit of a stir - lovely!< / li >

< li > You < em > must< / em > add them in that order, or at least water first else the
mixture will not mix correctly.< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > set the bread maker to its "dough" setting and set it going - job done!< br / >
(P.S. you can just use this same recipe as a regular bread too - just set the
bread maker to the regular "bread" mode)< / li >
< li > At this point I normally transfer the dough to a suitable container and
cover it to let it rise.< / li >
< / ol >
< p > Without a bread maker:< / p >
< ol >
< li > add the flour, salt, sugar, herbs and yeast/sourdough starter to the
large mixing bowl and dry mix them all together.< / li >
< li > form a well in the middle of the flour mixture and slowly pour in the
water bit by bit, mixing the flour mixture into the water as you go< / li >
< li > continue to mix the flour and water mixture, you're going to need to use
your hands, but give it a good mix until everything is mixed together well.
< ul >
< li > you want the dough to still be a bit wet, so if it's dry, add a bit more
water< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > dust the large chopping board with flour and turn out the wet-ish dough
ball onto the board.< / li >
< li > Knead the dough, < em > a lot!< / em > Just keep kneading, adding more flour if
necessary.
< ul >
< li > As you knead you'll noticed the dough ball become more smooth and
springy, but it will also feel "stronger"< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > Once the ball is nice and firm, but still springy, place it into a suitable
container and cover to let it rise.< / li >
< / ol >
< p > After a few hours of rising time (longer if you're using sourdough starter)
your dough will, hopefully, have risen enormously. You can now use it.
I'll be adding recipes for < a href = "/recipes/" > pizzas< / a > , < a href = "/recipes/" > naans< / a > and other
things that use this dough here, eventually.< / p >
