Sourdough Kebab Breads, Fermented Overnight
Overnight fermented kebab breads built on a deliberately mild sourdough — because sometimes you want everything fermentation does, except the sour.
Why We Test Side by Side
Two identical mixers, one recipe, one variable. Why a proper side-by-side is the only way to know whether an ingredient works in your product.
A Fresh Fruit Flan for the Weekend
Chocolate sponge, patisserie custard, fresh fruit and a jelly glaze — and why that glaze is doing a job rather than just looking pretty.
Scrocchiarella for a Monday Lunch
Baking for the CBA Business Day, we stopped for lunch — Roman-style flatbread with 5% sweet malt, split and filled. And why it's a serious bakery product.
Sourdough Baguettes, Fermented Overnight
Traditional sourdough baguettes held at 5 degrees overnight — how a slow, cold ferment builds flavour, cleans up the score and fits a bakery's working day.
A High-Fibre Sourdough for Sourdough September
Over 10g of fibre per 100g, roasted malt for depth, and this year's UK-grown Red Lammas — a Sourdough September development built for a cheeseboard.
Baking an Oreo Cake with My Daughter
An evening baking with my daughter — an Oreo cake on a Vienna sponge, using Duomalt as a cocoa replacer and a lighter single-and-double cream filling.
Seeded Rolls and Twists
Seeds, oats and milled grains laid out on the bench, and one dough taken two ways — hand-seeded crusty rolls and plain twists.
Developing Sourdough Ciabatta with San Francisco Sourdough
San Francisco sourdough and sweet malt, baked into a ciabatta with a crackling crust, a clean short eat and a crumb that stays soft all day.
Testing Oat Quality in Flapjack
One recipe, two different oats. A test bakery experiment on how oat size changes flapjack — and why smaller oats give control, larger oats give taste.
