A bread flour packed full of flavour due to the delicious blend of malted grains and wheat flour, carefully chosen by us to add a richness and colour to your loaves. Suitable for both yeasted and sourdough breads.....
To produce the richness of this flour, whole grains of wheat, rye and barley are steeped in water before being carefully spread on the malting...
It turns out that sourdough focaccia is my new favourite go-to bread to make!
This is a great staple gluten free loaf which I bake regularly every week. It's full of flavour and delicious eaten during the next 24 hours. After that it makes excellent toast for several days or can also be sliced and frozen for toasting at any time.
Crusty white dutch pot cooked sour dough - if you have ever despaired at making your sour dough rise despair no longer, i was once you, but this is my perfected technique!
Our everyday loaf full of body and texture. We eat it as toast with peanut butter and as sandwiches - ham, cheese, mustard and salad or roast chicken, stuffing and mayo our favourites! Never fails for a chewy, heavily grained, substantial wholemeal loaf.
Makes two 500g loaves of moist rye/white chewy, malty sourdough. Great toasted with jam or eaten as it is with cheeses, smoked fish, or whatever takes your fancy.
