Light Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread
Producing an excellent crumb, rise, and crust - this is my most reliable sourdough recipe.
"Tastes So Good" Wholemeal Soda Bread
My husband loves this bread and I love adapting it to use whatever flour, seeds and spices I have to use. You can also add in grated vegetables, or chopped cheese, nuts, dates, fruity bits, if you fancy a change.
Seeded White Sourdough with airing cupboard fermentation
This recipe produces a sesame sourdough with an airy crumb and a good crust. The loaf has a subtle sour tang and a big sesame flavour and is very moreish! This sourdough uses the airing cupboard for a speedy fermentation, the warmer temperature decreases fermentation time and increases the production of acid. The dough is proved in the fridge overnight to give it a better oven spring next morning. The schedule assumes a Final Dough Temperature of 26-27C, I adjust my water temperature to get the dough in this range to match the ambient temperature of my airing cupboard (which fluctuates between 25-28C). The dough works fine outside these temperatures, but the timings might lengthen.
Sourdough with sesame and poppy seed
A sourdough bread with Middle Eastern flavours. Tahini and molasses add a lovely depth to the taste of this bread.
Seeded Shipton #4 and rye sourdough
Seeds add extra flavour and crunch to the crust of this tasty sourdough

A 20% Wholemeal sourdough Boule which should taste creamy and moreish and makes the best toast ever!
German Pumpernickel
This is a real Pumpernickel recipe passed down through family. It's a long slog to make it but worth the effort.
Soft and buttery burger rolls
Brioche style burger buns which are soft and chewy with a light sweet buttery flavour. Topped with sesame seeds for that proper burger experience!
Walnut Sourdough
This is an overnight ferment studded with walnut, at 75% hydration so easy enough to handle but still wet enough for moist, open crumb. You must have a ripe, happy starter that at least doubles reliably. Your workspace need to not stray too far from 26.5c, otherwise you'll need to make adjustments to the fermentation time. Everything is done by hand, no kneading required!
Peloponnese maize sourdough bread
When I Inter-railed around the Peloponnese in the summer of '82 we lived off maize bread like this, eating it with big ripe tomatoes. It kept great in the top of my trusty Karrimor rucksack.
Flatbread Wrap
Easy and quick to make, filled with falafel salad. Much finer than the list of ingredients would suggest,
Risborough Sourdough Sandwich Loaf
A light & airy bread with a nice chewey crust, made from Shipton Mills incredible Number 4 flour & 'Tina' my Sourdough starter which feeds off the natural yeasts from the Chilterns air in Princes Risborough Buckinghamshire. Great as it is naked or dipped into Chiltern Press Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed oil or any which way you like. I normally would use a banneton for this but I thought I'd try shipton's wooden baskets & liners & it didn't disappoint. I based this recipe round the Shipton Mill sourdough recipe.
Sweet or Savoury Soda Bread - no yeast required!
This is a very easy, no yeast, quick bake recipe for sweet or savoury soda bread that can be easily adapted for various dietary requirements and responds well to whatever additional ingredients or flavours that you want. It also lasts extremely well.

A southern Italian riff on the traditional focaccia, this uses mashed potato and sourdough (discard or sourdough - both work).
Portuguese Corn bread (Broa de milho)
Typical north of Portugal bread usually served with soup or with sardines. You will not find anything similar in the UK. Well worth it.
Seeded advanced yeast rustic German style bread
This bread uses both sourdough starter and dried yeast, to make a wonderful nutty comforting dense bread. Best sliced thin like pumpernickel.

Delicious flatbreads using up sourdough starter. Perfect accompaniment for a BBQ!
Brioche Buns
Brioche is a bread of French origin that is similar to a highly enriched pastry, and whose high egg and butter content give it a rich and tender crumb. I love making halloumi burgers with this recipe, yum!
Light Rye or Malthouse Flour loaf for a Breadmaker
I usually use a mix of Malthouse, Strong White and Strong Wholemeal Flours to make this loaf, but due to an accidental substitution this one is Light Rye, instead of the Malthouse. It turned out better than I'd hoped and the crust is really crispy ...
Malt and Sunflower Sourdough
Sourdough with a Rye starter, 50% malthouse flour and added sunflower seeds.
Seeded Wholemeal Rye Sourdough with cracked rye and “old bread” flour starter
This sourdough formula uses old bread from the previous [rye loaf], which is dried/browned in a [low-heat] oven. Then it is ground into course flour to use along with cracked rye in the second feeding of the starter, which is more like a soaker at this point.
Ftira (Maltese bread)
Malta is famed as serving some of the best bread in the world. The use of a ‘Tinsila’ a piece of yesterday’s old dough, is used as a starter, much in the same way as for sourdough. Here’s my take on their classic.
Fluffy Focaccia
Looking for light and fluffy focaccia? Look no further!!!
Irish stout and sweet treacle bread
Not too sweet, moreish and perfect for sharing. A great way to feed a crowd.
Basic sourdough
Fool proof sourdough which is the basis for any loaf to then experiment with flavours
Bolo do caco
I have been to Madeira several times and fell in love with this delicious bread. Bolo do caco is a traditional bread only produced on the islands of Madeira and is made of sweet potato, preferable the type they grow in Madeira. However you can take the normal sweet potato found in the supermarket. 'Bolo' means bread and 'caco' refers to the slab of stone that the bread is baked on. These breads are not baked in an oven but in a frying pan. They are typically served with butter and garlic.
White Wholemeal Bread
A delicious and light wholemeal bread that keeps well. It's made using yeast and overnight proofing. It goes well with a variety of toppings or just butter. It's flavour develops for a couple of days after baking.
Chewy, flavourful bagels
Chewy on the inside and a great crust on the outside. Topped with poppyseeds. Uses a mixer and dough hook for ease. We love ours filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese!
Cheese and Onion Bread Rolls
Delicious treat for those of us who adore mature cheddar and Parmesan cheeses together with caramelised onions with fresh baked bread and lashings of dairy butter!!
Dutch raisin rolls
The non-sweet version of hot cross buns, dutch raisin rolls are best served with a think layer of butter and gouda cheese!
Mary’s 1kg Sourdough Loaf
Tried and tested after following the many different options online - this works really well for me as a way to maximise taste and texture and minimise mess at home.
Soft & Fluffy White Japanese Hokkaido Loaf
This recipe uses a tangzhong, which is basically a roux you make up from the flour and water (or milk) from your quantities you would use in the recipe. Added to a dough, once cooled, it makes the crumb very soft and pillowy, and also extends the shelf life.
Enriched Sourdough Plait
Slightly sweetened softer sourdough bread. It is delicious at any time of day just with butter. Add jam and it is almost a brioche. Slices beautifully for sandwiches. If any is left it makes a wonderful bread & butter pudding.
Khorasan tin loaf with fennel
Baking with Khorasan flour for the first time has whetted my appetite to use it on a much more regular basis. This mixture was an experiment in another sense because I am still adjusting to an oven which behaves in different ways from the one I’ve been used to for the last 8 years. I find that using a medium sized loaf tin lined with baking parchment, makes it much easier to liberate the loaf from the tin when it’s baked. This recipe produces a very tasty Khorasan loaf which has a pleasant, light texture. The addition of a modest amount of fennel seed adds another dimension to the flavour. I now look forward to refreshing my supply of Khorasan flour…
Sourdough for starters
I've just started baking sourdough. I cast around for information and stumbled upon Jack Sturgess who has a pretty good web site and specifically a start to finish page and video for sourdough. This is based on Jack's beginners method and is producing pretty good results that I'm really pleased with. Next steps I'll start experimenting with maybe different flours in my starter and dough. Enjoy.
Rustic White Sourdough
This is an over night proved loaf that is full of flavour, soft and chewy on the inside with a crunchy crust. Perfect for sandwiches or having with soup.

Sometime the art bread is not a best eatable bread just good looking. I am proud of my breads, they are lovely looking and have a fantastic taste.
Floury white baps.
Pillow soft floury white baps, great oven spring. Try them and you'll never go back to shop bought.
Casatiello ( italian Easter bread )
This recipe comes from south Italy, and it's traditionally served on Easter day and the day after! It's a delicious rich brioche filled with a mix of different cheeses ( Emmental, gruviera, provolone ) and cured meat (salami, pancetta, ham). This is the king of the table on Easter day, but, for to be honest, I love it any time of the year! Just put it on the middle of the table and see it disappear piece by piece! A mixed salad, some more cured meat like mortadella, salame, some cheeses, soft boiled eggs, grilled vegetables and that's it! And if you go on a picnic and you wanna impress everyone, bring it over and see people looking at you as the best Baker of the world!

The gluten free bread of our dreams! This Whole Grain Gluten Free Artisan Bread recipe is soft and chewy on the inside with a nice crusty exterior. Made without starches, eggs, or dairy!
Bara Brith or
An indulgent and heavenly tasting traditional fruit bread from my homeland that, for me, evokes that sense of “hiraeth”.
Isolation Bread Recipe
With us all struggling to fill our store cupboards, and Shipton Mill working hard to fulfill those back orders, I came up with this scrumptious bread using what flour I had left in my larder. It combines a malted, sunflower seeded flour, with Khorasan Heritage flour, and a smattering of Italian 00 (Which was all the white flour I had left!
New Zealand Potato Bread
We had this bread with a meal in a New Zealand winery near Napier, it was so good we asked for the recipe. I have uploaded a photo of the lupins which were all in flower when we were there with acres of them stretching into the distance all blue, pink, purple and yellow.

Perfect seeded bread
It's been great fun to experiment with different ratios and I have found the ideal recipe for me. Do you agree? I just love sunflower seeds but it's also good with pumpkin seeds which make it much more chuinky. Finer seeds like chia, sesame and millet are also good - find the one you like best, or just switch it around.
Slow fermented Swiss Dark Flour Cob
Lovely crusty cob using a sourdough sponge ferment with a touch of yeast
Sourdough Sandwich Bread

Gluten-free Sourdough Bread
I have been making sourdough bread with pure spelt and pure rye for years, but I've discovered you can make an unexpectedly tasty sourdough bread with Shipton Mill's gluten-free bread flour.
Khorosan tin loaf - fresh yeast method
Shipton Mill's Khorosan flour gives a lovely flavour, soft texture and gorgeous yellow glow to a loaf. Here I have made it using live yeast, and noticed a beautiful, warm old-fashioned aroma filling the kitchen whilst it was baking. Worth using fresh yeast for that alone. This recipe makes two large (2lb) loaves.
Shipton seeded sourdough
A delicious mix of 25% Shiptons Wholemeal Strong Flour and 75% Seeded White. This is an ideal recipe to learn the basics of making sourdough bread. But remember it really all is dependent upon a starter that is just ready for making the loaf. This is the most important thing. It will be ready between 4-10hrs after feeding it. It will have doubled in size, and will have bubbles of different sizes. If in doubt do the float test. Carefully put a teaspoon of starter on the surface of a glass of water. If ready it will float. My starter dough is a wholemeal starter from the Handmade Bakery in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire. They are very kind and happy to share.
Welsh Honey & Oat Sourdough. (Pot Bread)
A quirky twist on the traditional sourdough. The dough is proofed & baked in a tin pot which gives it a very unique look. I have a micro bakery and bake 70% of my produce using these pots.

A delicious and rich, banana bread. Great for breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Malted Seeded Bread
A nutty and slightly sweet crunchy loaf - great for freezing whole or portioned slices
Ossetian flat breads stuffed with chard
Beetroot tops are often thrown away, which is a great shame as they taste delicious, especially in spring. Their flavour is sweet and earthy, reminiscent of chard. They use beet tops a lot in the Caucasus. This recipe is inspired by Ossetian pies. Ossetians are highlanders just North of Georgia. These pies are probably as old as the hills because traditionally three are served and each signifies a different element - earth, water and fire. I fell in love with their story, and with their outstanding flavour. They are normally brushed with melted butter as they come out of the oven, but I love to go one step further and smother them in beurre noisette. Try it, it will be the best thing you will eat this spring.
Baquette épis au levain (sourdough)
Specialty bread from France, that can be found in any bakery there.
Chilli cheese and onion bread
A chilli/cheese/onion flavoured wholemeal bread, with a rich cheesy crust. Light in texture, and if a stronger flavour is preferred, hotter chilli’s can be substituted! It is a modified 50:50 wholemeal loaf recipe which uses a (Panasonic SD-2500) bread machine for much of the work.

100% wholemeal loaf ... with a difference.
This wholemeal loaf is partly made with Shipton Mills coarse wholemeal flour to which I add millet and chia seeds.
Organic Gluten and Lactose Free Bread Maker Loaf
It's impossible to buy organic gluten (and lactose) free bread , so it has been well worth persevering to find a reliable, delicious recipe for an organic loaf. Not only does it have the added benefit of being free from the long list of additives found in commercial gluten free products, but there is also no xanthan gum, which is so often found in home baked gluten free bread machine recipes.
Country sourdough
A mix of organic white, wholemeal and fig/spelt and pumpkinseed, produces a moist light, long lasting country bread and fabulous toast.
One Day White Loaf
Makes two delicious loaves with soft chewy open crumb, will take the majority of the day, and is quite slack (high hydration) so beginners beware!

Golden Bloomer
This loaf provides a slice of love and happiness. Its golden colour is due to Saffron, which not only radiates sunshine but is super healthy, containing antioxidants, whose antidepressant properties protects brain cells and improves inflammation. The honey gives a glorious depth of sweetness. The classic bloomer shape and distinctive markings emits slashes of splendid yellow contrasting with the white floury exterior. You can’t help but smile when you see it. Divine with cheese and makes a heavenly bread and butter pudding.
Black Treackle seeded Bread
This bread is absolutely delicious! You will have to force yourself to put the loaf down! it's also very easy to do. My first attempt was a 100% success.

Seeds and Shipton Mill's Organic Light Malthouse flour combine to make the bread we would not be without!
Organic Light Malthouse recipe for Morphy Richards Fastbake bread maker.
This lovely recipe is for the Morphy Richards Fastbake bread maker. It does seem to have quite a lot of ingredients but is well worth trying. It gives me a good, well risen heavy loaf that tastes really good and leaves me feeling satisfied after only one slice. When baking the bread, make sure there are no draughts around the bread maker (I've found that the lack of insulation in the Fastbake can mean the loaf doesn't rise properly if there are undue drops in surrounding temperature) and add the water and malt extract and mix so the water turns brown. Add all the other ingredients to a bowl and mix well before adding to the breadmaker which should be set to Menu ,3 Large Loaf, medium crust. Good baking and enjoy.
Seeded Half & Half Loaf (Large)
This half white/half wholemeal large loaf with seeds & a bit of rye makes a good daily loaf and you can throw in some excess sourdough culture if you have it (from refreshing your starter)
Einkorn Sourdough
This recipe makes an 1100g einkorn boule. Einkorn is thought to be the most ancient of strain of cultivated wheat and has a subtly different flavour to modern wheat.
Wholemeal enriched with rye and boosted by a sourdough starter
Whilst making wholemeal loaves I have been experimenting with adding a couple of ladles of wheat sourdough starter to the mix, along with the usual dried active yeast. The sourdough starter enhances the flavour and helps things to rise a bit more. Adding the sourdough starter adds a bit of extra water to the recipe and so this version has added 100 grams of Dark Rye Flour to absorb that extra water and to add to the flavour. The addition of 100 grams of seeded white flour also helps lighten the texture. The following recipe aims to produce two moist and tasty loaves.
First attempt at Khorassan Sourdough
First attempt at Sourdough made using a mix of Khorassan and Canadian White bread flour.
Yoghurt bread
This is a sour dough cheat, tasting enough like the real thing that it slows down the two-legged mice living with me who prefer and wolf down "normal" bread.
Wholemeal sourdough bread with millet seed
Millet seed isn’t just for the birds, it also makes a delicious addition to sourdough wholemeal bread. My grandchildren love this bread as it breaks easily into pieces that they can snack on while waiting for dinner! It goes well with cheese and olives, and the millet seeds add a bit of a crunch to the texture. Sourdough starter is so good for flavour and the slow fermentation helps to break down gluten, so it’s great for those with gluten sensitivity. I love to use the more traditional varieties of wheat flour to make this bread as the nutritional value is enhanced as well as great flavour. Sometimes I substitute about 20% of the wheat flour with spelt or rye. It’s a bit more crumbly but my family love it with cheese. I use the sour dough starter in my bread maker, and check on the consistency as the dough is mixing. I always add some dried yeast as it gives a better rise in the bread maker, but if making by hand then I just use the sour dough starter for the rise.
Poppy seed butter rolls
Delicious fluffy rolls which smell of butter and sprinkled with poppy seeds on top to intensify the crunchiness.
Treacle and fennel seed bread maker loaf
Moist tasty loaf. Delicious spread with fresh butter. Also goes well with a sharp cheddar.
My loaf
Amazing white bread that you cannot leave alone!! Will make 2 good sized loafs, or numerous white rolls if wanted. I normally cook one loaf on the day and after the second rise place 2nd shaped bread in the fridge overnight, and after leaving at room temp for an hour or two, cook in same way.
Rye and Oat Soda Bread
Most recipes for so called 'Rye' bread include wheat flour. So, if you have a sensitivity to wheat gluten, these recipes are no good for you.
Borodinsky Traditional Russian Rye Sourdough- Yeast and Wheat Free
A beautiful, light textured, deeply flavoured rye bread, scented with molasses, coriander and malt extract. Borodinsky is made with a traditional rye sourdough starter, giving it that distinctive tangy flavour.

Buttermilk wholemeal overnight bread
In the interests of taste and timesaving I made these loaves, 4 small, with buttermilk and bulk proofed overnight. The hydration of this bread is higher than normal to make a lighter loaf. Try adding sesame seeds prior to baking. Gorgeous.

Sourdough Pain Au Bacon (2 loaves)
A delicious bacon sourdough with a crispy crust and moist interior. Recipe Adapted from Ken Forkish’s Flour Water Salt Yeast.
Swiss Dark Baguettes
An easy to make and fun to shape tasty baguette to which pretty much any savoury ingredients can be added for extra flavour. This baguette recipe is adapted from a formula known as the pain paliasse. Devised by a Swiss bakery it is unusually rustic (well, for the Swiss anyway) and is also less technically demanding to make than the traditional French baguette. Fermented all day (or overnight) then baked as soon as they are shaped, these Swiss Dark Baguettes fit easily into a busy schedule. Purists shouldn’t worry about skipping the proofing stage: the long, cold fermentation provides all the dough development and flavour you need. Be very gentle when handling the fermented dough during shaping. It’s the secret of success. A baking stone is highly recommended for this recipe. I regularly use chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes (in photos), but fig and walnut is a great combination, as are roast peppers, chillies, preserved lemons, fresh rosemary and many more flavours. Feel free to experiment. Finally, don’t forget to use the Swiss Dark flour and add the diax malt: they add extra dimensions to the taste.

Seeded wholemeal sourdough
Delicious,full of flavor and healthy sourdough with amazing and rustic crust!Yum!
Spelt with sun-dried tomatoes
Fearing that a loaf made totally from Spelt Wholemeal flour might turn out to be rather dense I was hesitant to give it a try. However, allowing the mixer some extra minutes to work the dough plus adding some sourdough starter to the mix, seems to have made the difference. Using a loaf tin offers some support to the dough in its second proving and the end result is a loaf with excellent taste and texture. Creating a moist atmosphere in the oven before putting in the loaf seems to encourage a bit of ‘oven spring’. This recipe adds sun-dried tomatoes and some fennel seeds to enrich things. Another way of varying things is to reduce the Spelt to 400g and mix it with either 100g of Three Malts & Sunflower Brown Flour or 100g of Seeded White Organic Flour Using a sharp bread knife, it’s possible to cut thin slices which provide a tasty basis for lunchtime sandwiches. Now I just need to order some more Spelt Flour…

A delicious combination of Shipton flours and seeds. This sourdough loaf is a blend of 90% Shipton Traditional Organic White Flour and 10% Barley Flour. It also has Shipton's 5 seed blend.

Gluten Free Puri
These are a traditional Indian bread, perfect with Chilli Paneer or Dal. A great alternative to rice. This recipe is gluten free. It taste great and is a nice light texture, though it doesn't always puff as much a wheat Puri.
Sourdough Multi-seed 100% Rye Bread
This is a lovely, rich flavoured bread. I adapted two excellent recipes to develop the recipe - one from the internet (link:https://www.seitanismymotor.com/2010/02/100-percent-rye-bread/ ) and the other from "The Extra Virgin Kitchen" by Susan Jane White. It has a more open texture than is usual for a 100% rye bread. It keeps well, and I think the flavour improves with keeping. Toasting it lightly brings out the flavour and it goes well with soft cheese, air dried ham or smoked salmon. My sourdough starter is 5 years old and is yeasty, not particularly sour-smelling. Unless it is very important to you for it to be 100% rye, without any wheat, you could use any sourdough starter. I find feeding the starter the day before using it, and keeping it at room temperature for several hours on the day, makes the bread lighter. This quantity of ingredients makes 2x1kg(2lb) loaves - I halve them and freeze. Have a go, experiment and enjoy!

Simple and delicious Pain de Campagne
A very straight forward and traditional Pain de Campagne, made with the aid of a poolish but using (as little as possible) instant dry yeast rather than a sour dough starter for added simplicity. The result is a golden loaf, very light and 'springy', with a good bubbly texture and superb taste. A few tricks used: both the poolish and the dough were placed to raise sitting on a raised grill on top of the range (measured temperature of 25 degrees), and a bowl of water was placed inside the oven before baking, removed then 10 minutes after the loaf was placed in the oven.

Odds and Ends Loaves
Sourdough loaves using what I could find in the pantry. Sometimes you don't have time to find something specific but just go with what is there. The bread has just enough malt loaf flour in to give it a soft malty "stickiness" that loves butter. the (unsoaked) pumpernickel gives it an extra bit of crunch. The quantities are about right - worked backwards - the important thing is a soft flexible dough that kneads easily without sticking to the surface. It was a slow rise partly due to the kitchen being a bit cooler than usual, snowing outside!
Cobs with plenty of crunch!
A real mix of flours. I found myself with various odds and sods of different flours left and decided to have a play! Quite a tasty result, a bit of something for everybody in these.

Pao Angelo
This is an enriched loaf that I developed to celebrate the birth on the 11th of April 2017 of my first grandchild, Angelo Paul Milsom Alexandre, son of Sarah Louise Milsom Alexandre and her husband the Brazilian artist Wilson Cavalcante Alexandre. Pao Angelo immediately became Sarah's new favourite because both crumb and crust are soft, she says. The use of leaven with a complex provenance that includes elements from Puglia, Italy and San Francisco, California harkens back to my own childhood roots in the vineyards and orchards flanking the Russian River in northern California. For me it is richly symbolic: before being baked the tender crust was eggwashed and seeded representing new life and Easter, whilst the crumb, enriched with the best quality eggs, butter and milk, is redolent of the simple, yet exquisite dairy products from my pioneering maternal grandparents' farm on the Columbia River which forms the border between Oregon and Washington states where we often spent our Christmas and summer holidays. The plaited loaf is of 3 strands resembling the challah. It represents the strength of the three-fold cord and our interconnectedness as human beings who have been given the privilege of being stewards for a time of this wonderful planet. The blessing beneath (not illustrated) signifies that prayers have been said for the good health and well-being of those who contributed to it from the farmer who planted the grains of wheat and tended the fields until the harvest to the miller, the baker and, of course, for the well-being of those with whom Pao Angelo is shared. I hope you will enjoy this loaf as much as we do.
Pumpkin and walnut sourdough
Perfect bread for the autumn, although it can be prepared all year round as long as you find pumpkin. Really great along a good blue cheese.
Malted Bread with added seeds
This lovely flavoured seed bread is made using Organic Light Malthouse flour (301), White Strong flour along with Pumpkin, Linseed and Sunflower seeds. Always delicious and very moorish. A loaf never lasts long in our house. I have not found another bread, on the market, to match the flavour that the malthouse and mixed seeds add to this recipe.
Gluten Free Round Loaves
2 x 'wet bread mix' to last over 10 days, that will make 4 x 1lb round loaves each (8 loaves in total!!)
Scottish Morning Rolls
This classic roll is usually found in every shop in the west coast of Scotland: a crispy exterior; soft, fluffy interior and perfect with lorne sausage and tattie scone! Traditionally, these rolls are not risen via the use of a wholemeal leaven but this adds a flavour that is irresistible and provides health benefits to this humble roll.
Rye Vollkornbrot
German style wholegrain rye bread. Great with savoury toppings or toasted with honey.
Three Malts with a hint of rye sourdough
Wondering what to do with a lot of active rye sourdough starter I experimented with using it in combination with Organic Three Malts & Sunflower Brown flour. The following recipe involves preparing a sourdough starter/production sourdough the day before baking the loaves. This recipe combines using natural yeast in the starter with using some active dried yeast when it comes to baking the loaves. This combination helps me produce a couple of loaves with a nice texture and flavour when there’s not enough time to work through all the usual processes needed to produce a ‘pure’ sourdough loaf.
Overnight cold proved sourdough
Great recipe for a large 1.85 kg sourdough from sourdough expert Vanessa Kimbell, a cold overnight prove then cooked in a bread cloche this recipe gives fantastic results, especially when using Shipton Mill untreated organic No 4

Simple Einkorn Loaf
An incredibly easy way to turn Shipton Mill's Einkorn flour into a dense, sweet, nutty loaf. No kneading and only one rise required.

This uses a double kneaded, double risen method. If you have strongly rising types of flour, you could get away with a single kneading and a single rising. This is a variation of a recipe first devised by Sonya Romane.
Mike’s Seeded Ciabatta Loaf Recipe
The inside of the loaf is wonderfully light in texture with a superb flavour, needless to say the first crust gets cut off as soon as it’s cool enough to do so:- gorgeous with butter and lovely & crunchy.
Mixed Wholemeal Seeded Cobs/Rolls
Really tasty nutty cob. For those who like a full flavoured rustic bread. Fabulous just cut and buttered or great with any filling, hot or cold. Very good toasted too! Enjoy.
Olive Sourdough
This uses a mixture of organic white flour, wholemeal and light rye to make a delicious savoury loaf - that is also amazing with cheese or marmalade!
Spelt Sourdough Levain
This makes a nutty, flavoursome, well keeping loaf. The recipe makes 2 loaves @ 700g each. Although not essential, the method is spread over 3 days to increase flavour and provide flexibility with “normal” life. Dutch ovens are used for baking, but anything which gives a solid blast of heat and traps steam for the first half of baking would work just as well.
Basic sour dough bread
After many years of prevarication, I finally succumbed to the pull of sour dough! This recipe is very straightforward to make sour dough, the only thing you need is time for proving! This recipe uses the 'sponge' method. This recipe is certainly not mine, it comes from the River Cottage Bread book. If you want a good general introduction to bread making, of all types, this book is a fantastic place to start. This bread takes about 36 hours to make. You will have to make a sour dough 'starter', which, if you have not got one already, needs to be started a week before this recipe. This sounds a lot of time and hassle, but once your starter' is going, it really is no trouble at all. I used the starter recipe from the River Cottage bread book. The starter 'recipe' is included at the bottom of the recipe.
Super easy, no knead, slow bread
A tasty, easy, no knead bread and a method that easily converts to any loaf recipe.
Chappattis
Easy, healthy chapattis. These wholemeal breads perfectly complement a vegetarian curry dish.
Onion and Thyme Bread
This is a bread that I have been making for a few years now and have arrived at this recipe by experimentation. The quantities of onion and thyme seem to work OK but can be varied to suit personal taste. For some reason unknown to me, I find this bread does actually keep fresh for a day or two longer than a basic bread, although the aroma of the onions and thyme make it so appetising to me that it rarely has chance to go stale.
Excellent Brown Bread using Spelt.
There are many people who have slight digestive issues. These can be in the form of bloating, indigestion, colic, flatulence and diarrhoea or constipation. These can be caused in some people by a unknown mild intolerance to the gluten in wheat, rye, oats and barley. Spelt is an ancient form of wheat and the gluten in the flour is of a different form to other wheats and many people have found improvements in the comfort of their insides just by switching to bread and pastry made from spelt flour. Spelt white and wholemeal flour is now available in many supermarkets and is only around £2 per kilo which is a small price to pay for comfort. It works out at £1 per loaf and is surely worth a try. I have found that the conventional way of making bread with a double prove does not work quite so well so I have been developing this method. I do not use a bread-maker so cannot advise on the method with one of these.
Scandinavian Cracked Rye Bread (2/3 rye, 1/3 white)
A fabulously easy, no kneed loaf using dark rye flour and cracked rye pieces - based on a recipe by Trine Hahnemann. (NB: this loaf also uses white flour to lighten the texture slightly.)
Corn Loaf
This makes a splendid general loaf with a difference. Plenty of taste. Great for sandwiches. Superb for beef-burgers or bacon sandwiches!
Carrot rolls
There is nothing better then a home made bread roll, I love adding vegetables such as parsnip or carrot , it gives a nice texture to the roll and it looks good.
Two Spelt, Three Malt & Sunflower for the Bread Machine
I love the taste and crumb of this bread and my mother-in-law asks me for it so often I developed a recipe that can be whipped out in our Sage bread maker in no time. Lovely for sandwiches, as toast or simply on its own with a salad.
Three flour bread
A delicious three flour bread, light yet nutritious. Bakes to a golden brown, divine with cheese, excellent breakfast bread.
Spelt Turkish Flatbread
A tasty wholesome accompaniment to Şakşuka or any saucy dish. 70% wholemeal spelt flour dough cooked in a very hot oven.
Olympic Bread
Olympic bread was inspired by the tastes of Greece, fresh produce of summer and the start of the Rio Olympics. Tested out on my neighbours and sold at our fortnightly village market where I bake bread to sell to raise money to restore our Church Bells, it has had good feedback! The olive tins in the picture are being used to grow tomatoes, which is working well.
Simple Baguette
A very simple baguette recipe that gives delicious results every time. Can also be used for crispy rolls. I now use the same recipe for crusty white loaves. My granddaughter, who is intolerant of shop-bought wheat products demolishes large quantities of loaves and rolls with no adverse reaction.
Vegan Sourdough using San Francisco style method

Nuala's white loaf.

Dark Rye Sourdough
Dark, delicious, easy-to-make rye sourdough. Ideal for working people; start it in the evening, eat it for breakfast. I use a mixer with dough hook, but I guess you could equally hand knead it. No, I haven'the forgotten the salt; I don't usually put any in my loaves.
Russian Black Bread
I’m talking about my beloved recipe for Russian Black Bread, a pumpernickel bread for people who think that standard pumpernickel with it’s paltry seven ingredients is just not trying hard enough.
Country Bread
A lovely naturally leavened bread with a mix of bread flour, whole wheat and whole rye. Makes a great sandwich loaf. While this was inspired by Emmanuel Hadjiandreou's "Levain di Campagne" I have incorporated numerous changes of my own to produce a wholly different loaf.
Cheese and oat sourdough
You need a sourdough starter for this one and I make it the night before for the following day's evening meal- but it's worth the effort and rarely lasts until it's cold
Crackle glaze cob
Makes two cob loaves with a crackle glaze (sometimes called tiger bread). This is a 50:50 white and wholemeal standard bread recipe with a tangy crunch to the crust
Rustic Baguettes
75% hydration sourdough baguettes. They are airy but chewy and elastic. They develop a lot of flavour (non-sour) from the long cold levain fermentation. Still learning, but very pleased with the results.
An easy everyday sourdough loaf for your bread machine
A deliciously simple and quick loaf from your bread machine using sourdough starter: great when you haven't got time or patience to work out a loaf with your hands. A recipe inspired by the Eastern European style of sourdough bread. Ideally made with Shipton Mill Light Rye flour. Tested and tried on Panasonic breadmaker (SP - ZB2502) but should work well on any other quality bread maker.
Pane Tipo di Altamura
Pane di Altamura is a bread made with durum wheat from the Altamura region of Provincia di Bari in South East Italy. Made from Semola Rimacinata (re-milled semolina), and is naturally leavened, its characteristics are a thin dark crust with a lovely soft yellow crumb.
Sourdough Spelt Loaf
A lovely light white sourdough loaf with a good crust made using a wheat leven so it has a very small proportion of wheat in it. I have been making this for myself for a few months now and I find that although I am intolerant of wheat I can eat this regularly.
London Grillettes
In January, I married a French man. He has been living in London for almost 6 years now, and sorely misses baguettes. Our London flat’s little oven is too small to bake full-sized baguettes, so I’ve been developing a “half-pint” version that fits inside, while capturing the characteristics we love in baguettes. The “grillette” is: 1/ Crusty, in our case a deep golden brown, grilled, sometimes burnt in places… hence the name “grillette”! 2/ Airy, big holes, light. 3/ Slightly salted. The right amount is critical. Those holes come from a long, slow rise. The recipe takes time but entails very little hands-on work, and you will finish with an irresistable partner for butter and cheese.
Damson couronne
Twisted and plaited crown shaped loaf flavoured with a smooth damson purée jam, made using an overnight sponge.
Crusty Spelt & Wheat Loaf
A soft and crusty spelt loaf - 50:50 with white flour. My grandchildren say that this is the tastiest bread in the world (though they are biased!). This loaf uses a Spelt Poolish preferment to give added flavour.
Rolls and platted bread
White spelt rolls and platted bread with rye, oats, carrots and sunflower seeds.
Classic Sourdough with Hazelnuts
A moist, nutty flavoured classic sourdough. Inspired by Richard Bertinet who, through his books has taken me onto a different level with bread making.
Tear and Share Style Bread for 4 - Bread maker.
Fabulously tasty lunch time treat (or any time you like!). White bread rolled thin and topped with tomato purée, red onions , mushrooms and mozzarella cheese. A taste explosion. Great with salad leaves and tomatoes etc.
Wholemeal Seeded Tin (Grantalike no knead)
This loaf is about the simplest, most delicious wholemeal seeded loaf you can make. Based on Doris Grant’s no-knead recipe, the added seeds add great flavour and texture and actually seem to assist the rising dough’s stability. The dough mix should be too wet to knead by hand, but surprisingly if you get the water content right (depending on the flour used you may need to add a little more than shown in the recipe), just mixing the ingredients with a wooden spoon or Danish whisk and folding onto itself a few times, you will still get a reasonably open crumb. (Certainly not as dense as you might imagine for a cake-like dough with a short in-tin proofing.)
White & Wheat Seeded Sourdough - (overnight cold proving)
This is a variation on the sourdough bread recipe taught at the E5 Bakehouse bread master class in Hackney, London. A very moist dough with a great open crumb and superb crust. Best made using a regular stretch and fold method with wet hands each time, plus a slow overnight proving in the fridge to give the bread its open crumb and depth of flavour. The cold proofing also helps the dough hold its shape while transferring from the bowl via the peel to the oven. (Don’t worry about putting straight into the oven from the fridge. If the oven is at max heat - approx. 250c - then it will spring up beautifully.)
Spelt bread recipe for breadmaker
This is the most delicious, healthy, moist but light spelt bread for breadmakers. It has a little wholemeal wheat flour in to improve the crumb. The bread stays moist and lovely for several days and also makes excellent toast.
Simple seeded loaf with rye
This recipe is tried and tested using the breadmaker, but could no doubt be oven baked instead. The vitamin C powder allows the use of a higher proportion of rye (for extra colour and flavour) without preventing the loaf rising properly. If all goes to plan you get a lovely soft loaf, excellent rise and a very rustic flavour.
Easy Bread
I have used these quantities and the same method for a number of combinations and have found it to make great loaves.

Very flavored and tasty bread, made with flour, black tea water ferment and salt
Lovely light dinner rolls in an hour
I found this amazing recipe on line and use it when I need some soft dinner rolls in a hurry, I've tweaked it slightly to make it easier, it's measured in cups which I find so much better when you're in a hurry, I also used granary flour with the same results, its my go-to recipe, hope you like them ......
Wholemeal Spelt Sticky Date Buns
Made in muffin tins to puff up and make a "snail shell", these lovely spelt buns ooze with buttery toffee and sticky date pieces. Best served warm from the oven with a steaming cup of tea or coffee to chase away the winter shills. Leftovers (if there are any!) will reheat well and can be frozen and zapped in the microwave for emergencies. There is a picture but it doesn't always seem to view in Firefox!

50% Wholemeal sourdough bread
light, soft, flavorful bread with just enough wholemeal to entice even those who usually turn away from brown bread.
Very tasty everyday 1.5lb(680g) loaf
A small tasty loaf which is very easy to make. I almost always make this loaf in a bread machine and it comes out perfectly every time. Occasionally I use a wood fired bread oven.The results are variable and dependent upon me getting the fire right ! Having originally used warm water I find the bread has always risen better using cold water in my machine. I like this recipe because of the use of organic materials and because it is light on salt. I do make lots of other breads but always come back to this recipe for an everyday loaf because it looks good, tastes good and is a consistently well risen loaf
Gluten-Free Sorghum & Buckwheat Yeasted Bread
If you use a longish 25x10cm loaf tin, together with a baking sheet for a lid in this recipe, you'll get light loaf, delicious toasted and great with savoury toppings. Using a baking tray for a 'lid' converts your tin into a 'Pullman Loaf' tin, so called because the long narrow shape resembles a train carriage, and makes lots of slices for sandwiches. The lid helps to keep the steam in and preventing it from drying out whilst baking, and the loaf rises to fill the rectangular shape giving you the perfect slice every time.
Little Ellie's Spelt and Wheat loaf.
A delicious loaf that's simple to make using spelt and wheat flours, which my growing grand-daughter puts away at the rate of 2 loaves per week (there's no better recommendation)
Green Coriander Seed Rye Sourdough Loaf
Crushed green coriander seeds and chopped dried black olives add tasty flavours to this rye sourdough loaf, great with cream cheese
Ellie's Grain-free Seed Loaf
This really easy quick recipe is great for those who are wheat intolerant. As it is made rather like a cake and does not use yeast, there is no waiting around for it to rise. The seeds give a granary bread texture to it and it can be used to make sandwiches or toasted with melted cheese just like normal bread. This is a regular for my childrens' lunch boxes and it is especially handy for those whose schools have a nut ban.
Basic Cold-raised Sandwich Bread
This is a basic cold-proofed white bread baked in a tin and suitable for making sandwiches (prawn, smoked salmon, cream-stewed chantarelles, cheese) or e.g. serving with jam or honey. This is a baseline recipe and method that is easy to use and on which you can base further experiments, e.g. developing herbal bread types.
Crusty white loaf (x2)
I know white bread is frowned on but as someone who loves any kind of bread, I love this white crispy loaf made with Shipton Mills's Canadian strong bread flour
The Menhir Sarrasin - A Breton Buckwheat loaf
Russet red-brown buckwheat loaf made distinctive by the addition of roast buckwheat flour. Bake a dozen and you could build your own Stonehenge. Or Breadhenge. The menhir (standing stone) shape is easily made before the final proof. I love it when your own take on a bread is the latest addition to a chain that extends back into the mists of time. In this case, I was inspired by the Farine blog (http://www.farine-mc.com/2015/05/meet-baker-eric-marche.html) article about Breton-based baker Éric Marché. In the blogpost MC writes about how M.Marché roasts a small percentage of the buckwheat flour in his menhir-shaped loaves. I’ve never been a huge fan of buckwheat bread, but this sounded worth a try. It was. It’s a great idea. Delicious. This is my version of Éric Marché's loaf, using, as a template, Dan Leader’s Buckwheat Bâtard recipe which, apparently, he adapted, in turn, from an Éric Kayser recipe. Anyway, I hope I've done them justice. Alternatively, substitute half the strong bread flour for wholemeal and you'll get a darker loaf more akin to M.Marché's original. Great with cheese or cured meats.
Mixed Spelt Loaf
Using a mixture of White and Wholemeal Spelt, this yeasted bread is proved in a Banneton.
Simple three-step bread.
From mixing to baked in less than 2 hours, this fool-proof recipe can be used to make white or wholemeal bread and is my 'relaxing after a hard day's work' loaf!
My Pain de Mie
A taste of France! The picture of a 'croquet monsieur' in 'Dough' (Richard Bertinet) is so mouth watering that I had to make it. It's a posh cheese and ham sarnie, baked with ham, béchamel sauce and topped with grated gruyere cheese. A very fine and delicious combination. Pain de mie is a fragrant and different loaf which makes a welcome addition to bread making. Perfect for toasting too. You'll see from the picture that I made 2 loaves. The top crust on the loaf on the left is slightly crooked. I knocked the weighted tray in the oven! It didn't make a difference to the taste and lets face it... once it's sliced, who's to know? This recipe is quick to make because of the high quantity of yeast. Again, a welcome change to my usual 24 hour fridge fermentation.
Wheat Leaven bread
I have kept a wheat leaven on the go for nearly three years now. I use it to make all sorts of everyday bread. It gives a lovely texture and flavour but is not too tangy.

Soda Bread cooked in a large slow cooker (SIX LITRE)
Soda bread made like this doesn`t dry out as it does in an oven so the outside stays soft rather than having a crust. It is lovely and soft, and cake like in texture. It`s very quick to make and doesn`t use as much energy as using an oven,and keeps quite well. Soda bread rises better with pastry flour than strong flour and has a better texture because it has less Gluten.

When thinking about delicious sandwiches, including the bread in the overall sense of the desired taste rather than just using plain boring bread can lead to amazing results.

Anybody, who has ever baked a bread, can make this with excellent results.

Biga Acida (Innovative) Pagnotta
Italian biga acida/sour dough, using Italian '00' flour and strong bread flour. Based on a recipe from Dan Lepard and Richard Whittington 'Exceptional Breads'. The original recipe called for the inclusion of honey which made the bread too sweet for my taste. I have made this without honey and it works well and suited better to my personal taste. I replaced the wholemeal with spelt and used strong Canadian bread flour. Allow 5 days to make this bread. On the day of baking it could take up to 8 hours from the first kneading until the loaves are ready to go in the oven.
Pure & Simple Sourdough Recipe!
This recipe makes two loaves and involves very little hands-on time. It just uses great quality flour and slow fermentation to create an outstanding flavour and texture!

This recipe is for your life, not shelf life!!
Grain free bread recipe for breadmaker

Lazy Bread Rolls
These are simple to make. The egg and sugar give them a fluffy richness which goes particularly well with strong savoury flavours like burgers, sausages or cheese.

This interesting bread is made with a 100% khorasan sour dough starter and 100% khorasan flour for the final bread. It was a bit of an experiment but I liked how it turned out with a strong flavour and reasonable crumb. I based this recipe on the spelt leaven in Andrew Whitley's book 'Bread Matters' replacing the spelt with khorasan.
Honey, Apricot and Walnut Cob
Slightly sweet and amazing with blue cheese such as Roquefort, or a lovely strong English Cheddar, this special loaf is quite something to put on the table.
Gluten-free bread with buckwheat, rice and potato flour
If you have a sensitive gut you may find it difficult to find a loaf that suits you - the mixture of seeds and flours are rich in nutrients and flavour and texture to the bread, but are gluten free.
Intolerant Soda Bread
This soda bread was brought about due to my brother and sister in laws lack of tolerance to gluten and yeast. The use of spelt and rye blends of plain and wholemeal go well to create good flavour and texture, addition of mixed seeds and flakes give the bread a more wholesome substance. The use of natural yojurt and milk iin the mix to replace buttermilk gives an improved depth of flavour.

My Lovely Loaf
A wholsesome, healthy, delicious and satisfying bread for everyday use. So versatile and well structured - cut it thin and make sandwiches to serve with a salad, or start your day with it toasted, slathered in butter and marmalade; cut it chunky to eat with or without butter dunked into soup, or as a snack with a piece of your favourite cheese. This bread will grace the highest of tables or the simplest cheese-on-toast supper. Whenever I serve it, at the church supper, or to a tradesman in a bacon sandwich, it's always the same - "Mmm! Where did you get this bread?" Simple to make - flex the process around your day. Works out about 40p per loaf.
Sesame Sourdough Loaf

Basic method that can be used to make many variations of proper Danish rye bread, far better than anything you can buy in the shops. Danish rye bread is of course excellent with all types of strong cheeses, all salty food, pickled herring, yellow pea soup, Danish sausages - and you can use it to make rye bread soup should you feel thus inclined.

Honey Bear Bread....(Honey-ied Pear and walnut bread)
A lovely wholemeal/organic white bread with a delicate walnut crunch and sweet pears poached in mead with an extra hint of honey. This little beauty can be made with a 60/40 mix of wholemeal / white or add light rye flour for a little extra flavour. Rye gives it a stronger texture. When I lived in Germany, Birnenbrot was always made with light rye flour. My two young boys however are not fooled by me trying things different on the bread front, so you can use wholemeal which keeps the crumb soft! We adults enjoy this with a bit of gorganzola , camembert, or Roquefort (no need for chutney) and a lovely glass of your favourite red or white wine. The boys love this for breakfast too, warmed up with butter. I used Lindisfarne Mead from a recent trip at Easter, but apple juice works just as well.
