St. Basil's Bread

1 lb. flour (450g)
1/2 - packet dry yeast
1/2 t salt
2 oz. vegan margarine (50g), melted
1 oz. demerara sugar (25g)
1 T finely grated lemon peel
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t ground cinnamon
8 oz. vegan milk (225 ml), warmed

Combine the flour with the yeast, salt, sugar, cloves, and cinnamon. Add the melted margarine and lemon peel, then gradually add the vegan milk until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough well and return it to the bowl. Cover and put in a warm place for one hour to rise. Knead the dough again and shape it into a ball. Flatten this slightly and lace it on a greased baking sheet. Cover and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes until risen, then cut a cross in the top of the dough. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for about 20 minutes, until golden and hollow sounding when tapped underneath. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
