Hello All,
Walnut Bread with Wildflower Honey Worry -
Can you help?
Now you may have noticed one or two wonderful sounding breads on our product list - Walnut bread with wildflower Honey is one and it has one or two dedicated fans. Unfortunately we often get orders for just one bread - and we have to say 'no can do' as its a fun, but quite complex loaf to make.
So we're now going to make our 'specialist breads on specified weekends only .. so you'll have the opportunity to try a new loaf.
Our Walnut Bread is a full flavoured loaf - wonderful with jams, and excellent with cheeses and chutneys.
A real long-fermented loaf, it is made with Priors stoneground organic, Wholemeal Rye flour, wholemeal flour and stongeground White Flour with walnuts and Wildflower honey. And for even more flavour it has some Rye Sourdough starter in it too.
So can you make our Walnut Bread fans' weekend by ordering one yourself? At £4 this is not a cheap loaf - but its fans think it is sooooo worth it!
And next week we'll be running an appeal on behalf of the Challah Bread fans!

Euro 2016 Orb Bakes -
Bara Brith from Wales
Orb is baking breads and cakes to celebrate the Euro 2016 footie championships. We've always baked loaves for Russia (England's first opponents) - the Borodinsky and Russian Rye seeded Sourdough. So these are available week-in. week-out whether there's a European Football Championship or not!
But now we're going to offer up Wales' famous Bara Brith fruit bread. Wales play England on Thursday this week. And what better way to celebrate two home nations playing each other in the Euros than to try this truly wonderfully flavourful tea loaf - great spread with butter, but moist enough to be eaten without.

Bara Brith means 'speckled bread' in Welsh. The speckles come from copious amounts of mixed dried fruit. We soak the mixed dried fruit overnight in organic breakfast tea to plump it all up and then give this yeasted fruit bread two long ferments... and the result is fantastic (sorry to gush but it truly is wonderful!) tasty moist bread - you'll never leave it at one slice!! It will cost £3.30 for a 440g loaf - yum yum!! |
We'll be looking at Slovakian bread or cakes for next week - any ideas??
