🥯🥯Bagels🥯🥯

This week's breads (7,8,9 this year) are bagels, walnut & fig loaf and foccacia.
Decided to do tonnes so I don't have to do any next weekend!

Let's talk bagels. They're alright, my first attempt, id say 6.5/10. But I wanted them to be awesome. Where'd I go wrong? They're a bit flat even though I lifted from water bath very carefully.

Also I'd say the poke-a-hole method is better than the smoosh-the-ends method!

I used Felicity Cloake's recipe because I'd seen someone here say it was their go-to. I want to try again but make it better to be worth the faff. Tips?

Also made my first cake of the year - Nigella's Clementine cake - with some disappointing tangerines. It's super zingy!

Bread #6 of the year is our lady Nigella of Lawson Manor's sandwich loaf.

Ooh let me tell you this is floofy inside! I'm freezing loaves in slices so we can just pull out what we need. Andrew cut this into 12 chunky slices plus a leftover crust for us to nibble. It's soft, it's fluffy, it's delicious. Definitely going into my bread making rotation. Can wait to make a toastie with it later this week. And of course a fish finger butty - with butter *and* tartare sauce 🥰 🥪

(Bread #5 was white/rye/wholemeal grainy rolls which are also in the freezer so we can mix and match. It's winter, we are going pretty hard on bread!)

Made with Shipton Mill flour which TBH I'm obsessed with at the moment!

🍫 Love chocolate, hate waste 🍫

I'm not a fan of white chocolate but I'm less of a fan of waste. I'd been wondering what to do with the white hot chocolate from the multipacks, but I was determined to give them a go. So when I spotted these cardamom drops in the cupboard I knew I'd found an answer.

What a result!

The chocolate was actually not sickly sweet. There's loads of vanilla in there. And I always think of cardamom as a warming sweet spice. They're the perfect mix - so glad I tried it!

This week's loaf is a dark crusted little number.

This week's loaf is a dark crusted little number. Made using @shiptonmill organic fig, sunflower seed and spelt flour mix.

I went in gung-ho with the water, using my usual amount and it was too much. So I added a few tablespoons of Shipton plain strong white while it was mixing and the result was a super soft and very tasty loaf!

I've been enjoying with halloumi for lunches and it's also made for marmalade at breakfast. I've just remembered I've got some fig jam in the cupboard - that's another brekkie sorted!

I only had a 1kg bag of this flour in my Shipton order, but when I do my next one (in about 5 months as I got a 25kg sack of strong bread flour) I'll be sure to add a few more. There is ebough for one more loaf though 👍

Don't think I've baked with spelt before so was interesting to see how the mix handled water differently than my usual white/rye mix.

Not going to lie, this year's Christmas cake is immense. Made four in total, including a big one for the two of us, and all were generously fed with amaretto for weeks.

Half way through ours and wishing I'd made more. Maybe I'd do another for Easter!

Also after years of fannying about with slices, I've finally gone for the wedding cake method of cutting it - so much better!

🥖 Second bread of the year 🥖

Ok, I know I said it was the year of the loaf tin, but I do love little soft rolls for sandwiches so I made a few rolls today too.

White / rye / wholemeal and mixed grains. When they come out, I immediately cover in a towel to cool so they stay soft.

Tucked away in the freezer for the coming days.

🥖 300g white flour @shiptonmill
🥖 100g each rye and wholemeal flours @dovesfarm
🥖 1 cup of mixed grains
🥖 7g yeast
🥖 10g fine sea salt
🥖 320-330g tepid water

After a year of making rolls, knots and pretzels I've gone back to the bread tin more and more since early December - because winter means toast! It might not be cool or 'artisan' (why is every loaf made in a casserole now called artisan?), but it fits in the toaster and the toastie maker so I'm happy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. 2021 is the year of the loaf tin - you heard it here first! I've quite a bit of jam / marmalade in the fridge so I thought a soft rye mix, with sweet figs and walnuts would be perfect for them. 🍞 100g wholemeal rye flour (@dovesfarm) 🍞 400g white bread flour (@shiptonmill) 🍞 7g dry yeast 🍞 10g fine sea salt 🍞 320-330g tepid water 🍞 handful each dried figs and walnuts 🍞 2lb loaf tin ➡️ Swipe for sexy slice shots 🤣 #realbread #doughityourself #flouryeastsaltwater #imadethis #breadtin #useyourloaf #breadmaking #bread$
