Canadian 50:50 loaf

Written by Dave Smith

225g Canadian Strong White Bread Flour

225g Strong Canadian Blend Wholemeal Flour

300mls water

5g yeast

5g salt

20g sugar

20ml olive oil

Mix dry ingredients, then add water and oil. Knead 20 minutes (I use a bread machine to mix the dough - if you are hand mixing, you may want to make the dough stiffer by reducing the water to 270mls). Leave in a warm place to rise for one hour. Punch back. Put in a large (800g) greased loaf tin to rise until the loaf is above the rim. Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 mins at gas mark 5 or equivalent.

Centuries of milling

A mill was first recorded on this site in the Domesday book of 1086. We follow in the footsteps of generations of Millers. There is a sense of place and continuity at the heart of what we do.

Traditional Grains

We select our grains by their excellence, not the average. It is up to us to then capture and distil these flavours from the grain into flour through our precise and expert milling processes.

Protecting the environment

Shipton Mill has been guided from day one by the mission to leave the earth in a better place than we inherit it. Being a champion for regenerative organic agriculture is one strand of this.
