No knead bread is an addiction. That you can go from gloop to bread in 2 hours (at its fastest) is just such a wonder to me. I love recipes that you can change up, fiddle around with, and they still work.I found a shallot in the fridge that needed using, the tail end of …

Journey Bread–Methi Roti–Thepla
Well, sort of. Apart from the fact that I didn’t have any fresh or even any dried methi. (Fenugreek) so ground it was. Fenugreek is a herb that has staying power. It clings to you. Your hands, your clothes, your kitchen and your whole house if you use a lot of it, and don’t open …
More adventures in bread: light rye
I’m having such fun with the Even Faster No Knead Bread recipe. The usual white bread flour one has become a total staple, but I wanted to branch out a bit, so I bought some wholemeal rye flour. I use measuring cups, as it’s easier, and you can buy them in most supermarkets now or …
Rock, Rolls and Hollywood
I’ve always had a difficult relationship with bread. Don’t get me wrong, I love eating it, but the baking of it was always a bit of a mystery, and a challenge. With regards to eating it, I like it rather too much for my own good, to be honest. I’m one of those lucky people …
Low Carb ‘Cornbread’
I do hope that I don’t harp on about low carb stuff to people too much, it just happens to be the way I need to eat if I want to feel healthy, and for my body to stop hurting. Weight loss is a side effect. It’s a useful one, for sure, but that’s all …
Getting sticky with Paul Hollywood
Yes, that Paul Hollywood. The Silver Fox himself.I am aware that many people aren’t enamoured of him, but I’ve been watching him on TV for a lot of years, and he won me at ‘Cyprus’. He may be a rotter, or he may not, I have no idea, and am not bothered about his private …
Turkish Breakfast Rolls – acma
I love bread. Almost all bread. But there is a special place in my heart for sweet, tender, yeasted doughs that yield to the knife with just the merest hint of resistance and accept the butter graciously.Turkish breakfast rolls are one such bread. I love them, I wanted to make them, and I found a …
Nigel’s Lazy Loaf
This is, yet again, a Nigel Slater recipe. Yes, I have a soft spot for this particular TV cook (he insists he is a cook, not a chef) and pretty much everything of his that I have tried, works. I know he cannot lay claim to soda bread, because that has existed for many years …
Calzone, focaccia and all kinds of wonderful.
I had booked a Focaccia baking class at Carluccio's on Garrick Street a while ago, almost the very second I got their emailed newsletter. £20? Yes please! Tuesday 28th dawned bright and sunny, and I determinedly set off on time, only to be waylaid by a small and very excited yappy-type dog on my way …

Lorraine Pascale’s Pain d’Epis
I have a confession to make. I cannot make bread. Anything to do with yeast based cookery seems to fox me completely, and I just don’t have that ‘touch’ that some people appear to. It tastes okay, but whenever I make bread it always seems very heavy and dense. I don’t mind it, not really, …
