Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

4 teaspoons granular dried yeast
125ml/4fl oz warm water
150g/5oz rye flour
Step2
250ml/8fl oz warm water
2 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Maldon salt
500g/18oz plain flour
In a large warmed bowl, mix the yeast with the first quantity of warm water. When "melted", add rye flour and stir well. Leave in a warm place to form a loose dough, for at least 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Put mixture in a processor or mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead for 10 to 25 minutes. The dough will be quite wet and sticky (this makes a crisper crust).
Put in a bowl greased with olive oil, and drizzle a little over the top. Cover with a cloth. Leave to rise in a warm place for two hours. Knock dough back, and knead a couple of times. Return to bowl to rise for 40 minutes.
When dough is ready, divide and form into six golf-ball-sized pieces. Using quick, light motions, roll out each one as thinly as possible on a floured surface.
