Like many avid bakers; I can’t resist the urge to try a new recipe. This in turn often requires buying a different variety of flour. Once the recipe has been made, appreciated, consumed in its entirety, it deposits half a bag of flour in the pantry & so the collection begins to accumulated. The other […]

To say I love cinnamon buns is an understatement! I don’t care what you call them, they’re all good. I only really bake sweet treats which I can post about, I’d written a post about Kanebulle (The traditional Swedish version) back when the blog began, life has been devoid of such homemade delights ever since.

This month Claire from Purely Food challenged bakers to make Fougasse using a recipe by Richard Bertinet which was featured in The Telegraph. I have to admit I’d never tried Fougasse or though I’ve often passed it in markets & marvelled at how beautifully it’s shaped. We were encouraged to flavour our dough but I […]

This month Michelle from Utterly Scrummy Food For Families challenged bakers to make our favourite savoury bread suitable for picnics & BBQ. What an amazing challenge given the unseasonably warm weather we were having in UK, it has since return to the usual state of might rain might not. I can’t complain though it’s doing […]

This month Sarah from Simply Cooked challenged bakers to make their own hot cross buns. Nothing says it’s Easter or the end of Christmas more than hot cross buns as they fill the supermarket shelves from ceiling to floor. The smell envelopes you as you enter the store drawing you through twisting aisles till you […]

This months Fresh From The Oven Challenge was something a little different, Helen from Fuss Free Flavours challenged bakers to create something yeasted using flour with full traceability. In honesty despite my mild obsession with knowing where my food has been on route to my kitchen I’d never stopped to consider flour. I buy Doves […]

Every month you get to make something wonderful, it’s not stressful, the recipes aren’t overtly overcomplicated or laden with hard to find ingredients & hours spent […]
