Experimental baking I have dickered and experimented and gradually over recent years come up with a succesful recipe, rather a complex one as ingredients go, for gluten free (GF) bread to stand alongside Breadzilla’s outstanding sourdough.

Minimal-Knead Sourdough Focaccia

This is an adaptation of a recipe culled from a baking blog (thanks Emily for the link) the URL of which I omitted to save. I have been playing around with various methods of making focaccia and I think this one comes the closest to my personal ideal of what the bread should [...]

Recipe – Stuffed Focaccia

I have to give 100% credit to my friend Emily, the “Baking Queen” for this idea. Recently she posted about stuffed focaccia and her rolled creations looked so appealing I had to try. Especially I had to try as half the inhabitants here have to avoid gluten and my GF regular focaccia [...]

Baking basic sourdough bread

Friends have asked and I have been working hard on the methodology as well as doing a course at a pro-bakery. As a result I have revised some old material about making basic and tasty sourdough bread at home. If a simple way to make tasty sourdough breads interests you then you can find [...]

Coffee Cake/Bread

Recipe Recipes are not the usual focus (dare I say bread and butter?) of this journal, and when they do appear they are almost always something to do with breads. This is a new one that is so successful I thought others might like to try it. The basic recipe came from the [...]

Cranbuck Bread – version 2

Really good fruit bread Time for another bread recipe. Some while back I shared a recipe for sourdough Cranbuck Bread ... but it's now got even better after some modifications to the recipe. This bread was created to minimise the FODMAP content of the loaf for people with a wheat intolerance. It's not gluten [...]
