Step 6:
This bit was fun. Fold the top and bottom thirds into the middle. Rotate the dough 45degrees and roll out to 30cm * 10cm again. Repeat this 4 times, and then wrap the dough in greaseproof paper and shove it in the fridge for 30 minutes. |

Step 7:
Use this time to prepare the filling, by mixing the peel, brown sugar, and lemon rind together. Now is also a good time to get the oven on, at 220C (425F). |

Step 8:
I found this bit very difficult. Take half of the dough and roll it out to make a 50cm * 20cm rectangle. The recipe now says to cut this in half lengthwise, and then to cut each strip into 5 parts, but I found I only had enough dough for 4. Then, cut a line of three 2cm slits along the middle of each part. Make three more rows of slits either side of the middle row, but offset them to produce a lattice effect (think how bricks are offset in buildings). |
