Bake wholesome #realbread at home with tried and tested recipes from The Bread She Bakes
This whole milk bread recipe makes one of the most comforting loaves of bread I’ve ever tasted. It’s gorgeously soft and pillowy and deliciously wholesome. The proofing and baking process is a real spectacle as the dough boldly spills over the top of the tin and then rises to exuberant heights in the oven. “The … Read more
I personally get on well with gluten, a natural protein found in wheat and other grains. I am, however, painfully aware that not everyone is as lucky. Gluten-free bread recipes don’t have a particularly good reputation; but I found a great recipe that uses a variety of gluten-free flours and tastes delicious! The role … Read more
By Yasmin Sulaiman – One of the things I love most about home-baked bread is that – unlike the pre-sliced, shop-bought variety – it never goes mouldy. White bread does, however, go rock hard when left uneaten for a few days. But that doesn’t mean it’s destined for the bin; there’s still plenty of life left … Read more

So, not quite picnic weather yet, but I’m sure when the Scottish summer comes, it’s going to be amazing! The unpredictable Scottish weather is exactly why a picnic loaf needs to be … Read more

Add carrots, … Read more
Watching the first episode of Ottolenghi’s Mediterranean Feast set in Morocco, I was (of course) inspired by the industriousness in the Moroccan bread bakery. It brought back memories of my first authentic Moroccan meal, sitting on a balcony overlooking the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakesh. If you love Middle Eastern & Mediterranean food as much as I do, … Read more
I usually use jumbo oats when making granola but they also make a loaf of bread nice and wholesome. Rolled oats are oat groats (hulled whole grains) that have been rolled into flakes, steamed and lightly toasted. Note that the oats, although quite sizeable, will ‘disappear’ and completely blend into the finished loaf. The day … Read more
