- Put the dough in a floured bowl and let rise once to about double the size and punch down.
- Put dough in bread pan and let it rise again in a warm place. (I let mine rise in the microwave). When it rises above the sides of the pan, put in preheated conventional oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

- 1/2lemon, juice of
- 3egg yolks

DIRECTIONS
- In a large pan bring to the boil the roughly chopped tomatoes and onions, 5 cloves of garlic, the thyme, saffron & orange zest.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil & one glass of white wine plus 1 litre of water.
- Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pound the remaining garlic to a puree in a pestle and mortar (or liquidise it if you are feeling lazy).
- Blend in 2 egg yolks and add salt and pepper.
- Gradually beat in the remaining olive oil in a thin stream, using a whisk, until you feel the aioli is thick enough.
- Add lemon juice to taste and leave on one side. (Reward yourself for your efforts by drinking the other glass of wine!).
- Cut the skinned and boned fish into 1″ chunks and add it to the saucepan.
- Poach for 15 minutes.
- Then remove the fish with a draining spoon and keep warm.
- Sieve the stock and discard the *vegetables.
- Return the stock to the pan and reheat gently.
- Take about half of the aioli and beat the remaining egg yolk into it. Then slowly pour the warmed stock onto it, stirring constantly.
- Return this mixture to the pan and heat gently, stirring all the time, until it thickens slightly.
- It should be like rather thin custard. Don’t let it boil, or it will curdle.
- Divide the cooked fish between serving bowls and pour the soup over it.
- Serve with thin slices of toasted French bread and the remaining aioli.
- NOTE: I serve the *vegetables - tomatoes, onions & garlic on the side as an extra vegetable.
