Instructions

1

For the pan bread, place the flour, baking powder, hot and cold water in a food processor and mix until the dough comes together. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece out to about 5mm thick. Brush with the butter and sprinkle the chives on top. Roll each piece up to form a log and then twist into a spiral. Gently flatten with your hand and roll out again to about 1cm thick.

Heat a little butter in a pan and fry the bread for about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside to keep warm.

To make the soup, place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust the seasoning and serve drizzled with a little yoghurt and topped with basil.
