Chef's notes
To remove any dough that may become stuck under the blades spin 5 seconds / Speed 6.
Aga: Bake on the floor rack of the Roasting Oven for 18-20 minutes.
Although I used groundnut oil to grease the tin, the bread still stuck, probably due to the drizzled olive oil which soaks through the bread. I would recommend lining the tin with somethng such as Bake-O-Glide.
