Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness...

29/10/2016

After a very sunny September, we're finally feeling that autumn is well and truly here. This week's special is Spiced Apple and Walnut Sourdough. The wheat is from Wimpole, the apples from our village and we wish we could say the walnuts were from the garden, but the squirrels got there first!

Available 
The Larder at Burwash Food Hall & Country Kitchen this morning, together with our spelt and cardamom buns - perfect for an autumnal treat.

As Anne of Green Gables says, 
“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

Today's sourdough special: Heritage Wholemeal - an incredible depth of flavour from this mix of ancient and heritage grains: Maris Widgeon, Emmer, Spelt & Rye. Just off to The Larder at Burwash Food Hall & Country Kitchen. Been eating this in the Bakery all week and may have just 'accidentally' made some extra today ...

Crop to Crust

Had a great time at 'Crop to Crust', an event focusing on the whole bread-making process from start to finish - growing, harvesting, milling, baking (and eating!)

It was fantastic to meet local farmers and bakers, and we were delighted to be there showcasing Jon Cook's stone-ground, all-natural flour (milled at Fosters Windmill, Swaffham Prior) in our bread. We've used Jon's flour since the bakery started, and we're big believers in baking with local ingredients - both to cut down on food miles and to support local business.

Schools are back. Harvest's home. Our thoughts turn to the festive season. We loved the Cambridge Foodie's timely article in Eastlife Magazine this month - thanks for including us on your 'festive foodie wishlist'! We'll have to get working on one of our own...

Sourdough September is here! From the real bread campaign's website:
​"Since 2013, the ninth month of the year has been when the Real Bread Campaign goes on a mission to help everyone discover that: life’s sweeter with sourdough!
From 1-30 September, Real Bread bakers and other fermentalists worldwide are encouraged to organise their own local events and activities to help share sourdough secrets and demystify the delicious delights of the oldest way of raising a loaf."
This September is all about buying - and baking! - real sourdough. It's easier than you think - why not join us at one of our workshops and learn how to make it at home?

You can visit the Real Bread Campaign's site here to find out more about how you can get involved in #SourdoughSeptember

Experimenting with Spices...

Today's sourdough special is inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi. Dukkah is a wonderfully aromatic Egyptian blend of nuts, seeds and spices, used to coat our delicious sourdough. A firm favourite here in the bakery! You'll definitely be seeing this one again! Available today Country Kitchen and The Larder at Burwash Food Hall.
