Cheats Granary Loaf

Written by John Cannadine

I recently discovered the Shipton Mill 5 Seed Blend, I love it as it transforms standard white flour into a superb granary style loaf and saves me having to store two big sacks of flour. This recipe makes three medium sized loaves:

Ingredients

1kg Organic White No. 4 Four

200g Wholemeal Flour

100g Dark Rye

250g 5 Seed Blend

35g Salt

500g Soughdough starter

1 tsp dried yeast

1 litre of water (approx)

Method

I kneed for 10 minutes, allow a few hours for proving, shape into three rounds, rest for 40 minutes then bake on the floor of the Aga for 35 minutes (per loaf)

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.
