My muffin recipe using some home milled wheat.
Dried fruit and slithered almond muffins. I used dates, sultanas, prunes and apricots for the fruit mix. For the flour mix I used 50% plain flour and 50% home milled Flanders wheat. #baking #muffins
Recipe
No sooner said than done! Dead easy to make too.
Ginger cake with a wet garden in the background.
The weather’s not so good today but it looks as though the ginger cake will make up for it! #baking
Crumb shot showing the open texture of the loaf as well as seeds and seaweed. My Colorado starter is never that lively and the sourdough rose very little overnight in the fridge. From past experience I knew that the oven spring would make up for its inactivity from the day before. I wasn’t disappointed!

Linguine with olives, garlic, capers, chilli and sourdough pangrattato.
Recipe
I made this from my Padella Italian cookbook for lunch. Easy to make and delicious. And I used my sourdough for the Pangrattato. #padella #italian #cooking #sourdough
5 - two I made myself (rye and Tartine) and 3 bought ones (Colorado, San Francisco and Alaskan).
No I don’t but I use olive oil and scald some of the flour. This makes a really soft loaf.

My proofer is a God send! I set the temperature to 26°C and always do the same timings. Money well spent.

Seaweed
I think I bought this in Leeds but it is readily available in most big towns. I add about 1 desert spoon and crumble it a bit. You can buy different grades.
