FLOUR IS NOT JUST FLOUR…

When I’m choosing flour, I look at the type of milling method used, because this makes a huge difference to your bread.

When wheat is turned into flour, the grain is crushed, milled and then sifted to remove the germs and the fibrous outer layer, which is how we get lighter, whiter flour.

Traditionally, flour would be stoneground, but the modern milling process uses steel rollers. These rollers are very efficient at separating out the component parts of the grain, but they also get hot, which can partly kill off the wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that might be present in the flour.

IS IT A YOGA MOVE? WHY DO I NEED TO STRETCH & FOLD

IS IT A YOGA MOVE? WHY DO I NEED TO STRETCH & FOLD?

In sourdough, gluten doesn’t need developing by kneading. Trust me, you will get a better rise and lighter loaf by using the long, slow fermentation to align the gluten molecules instead of kneading.

Simply leaving the dough to ferment with just a few stretches and folds to help will result in a gluten structure that gives the bread the complex network of sticky strands that capture the CO2 as the yeasts get to work consuming the sugars in the flour.

Our two favourite cloches are back in stock!

Most domestic ovens are less than ideal when it comes to a beautiful loaf with maximum oven spring. What baking dough needs is immediate, even heat and steam. The heat provides the rise and the steam keeps the crust soft throughout the time it is rising. The result is bread that reaches its full potential, giving an evenly baked, golden open crumbed sourdough. The perfect way to achieve this is with a cloche.

The Spun Iron Cloche (first picture):
A beautifully handmade spun black iron cloche made in Shropshire. Sitting on a 12″ rimmed base, the dome is complete with cast-iron knob and brass rivets. Designed by @vanessakimbell and developed and made by Netherton Foundry.

The Challenger Bread Pan
The Challenger Bread Pan is a unique cast iron bread pan specifically designed to create the ideal baking environment for all your loaves. The dimensions of this pan allow you to bake a wide range of loaves – bâtards, boules and baguettes all fit very comfortably.

10 MINUTE OAT POCKET BREADS

This is one of our favourite recipe from @vanessakimbell's book 10 Minute Sourdough! Like all the recipes in this book, they only take 10 mins of hands on time to make.

Vanessa came up with this recipe after reading about the Romans, who while travelling would cut their bread into this triangular shape to carry in their pockets.

The Power of Oats
🌾 There are many studies indicating just how important oats are as part of a healthy diet, with benefits ranging from reduced cholesterol levels to protection against childhood asthma.
🌾 They are a rich source of both protein and fats, containing more than most other grains, as well as vitamins and minerals.
🌾 They also contain high levels of beta-glucan, a form of soluble fibre that is getting a lot of research attention because of its health benefits. It is linked to lower cholesterol levels, lower blood sugar and lower levels of obesity, and it also nourishes the good bacteria in the gut microbiome.

You'll find this recipe in 10 Minute Sourdough: Breadmaking For Real Life, by Vanessa Kimbell. Signed copied are available from our website 👆
