Method: 

1. Mix the dry ingredients. Stir in the milk, and stir the ingredients until the milk is mixed with flour and forms a dough. 

2. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead briefly until the dough has a uniform consistency.

3. Shape the dough into a round disc, about an inch to an inch and a half (about 3 cm) thick. Score the top deeply with an X. This is important! Don't make a round ball of dough as it won't cook in the middle.

4. Bake on the hot stone or baking sheet for about 35 minutes until pale brown. 

When ready, it should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. 

Enjoy!
