    I’d love to try this recipe but is 200ml of oil correct? That’s an awful lot of oil for a bread recipe!! There’s a recipe on another site but it’s only 25 ml of oil. The other recipe doesn’t include the cream of tartar and has slight variations in the amounts of other ingredients.

        Thanks for the update! This looks like a different recipe than I was originally looking for but just as delicious. I’ll give it a try soon.
