    Emmer and honey sandwich loaf

    Emmer and honey sandwich loaf

    The mixture of emmer flour with added honey in this dough produces a darker bake with an amazing depth of flavor and a slight sweetness in this sandwich loaf. The dough will be soft and sticky, and you may find it “splodges” into the pan, but it then grows and bakes to a perfect loaf, so do not worry if you find the shaping challenging. It is worth the effort!

    Aimee’s Fig, Date, & Orange Blossom Christmas Pudding Recipe

    Aimee’s Fig, Date, & Orange Blossom Christmas Pudding Recipe

    “If you, like you me, are not a fan of a heavy alcoholic Christmas pudding then this one might convert you. It's lighter in colour and texture and has delicious fragrant flavours of citrus, orange blossom and cardamom. It's really delicious served with some warm custard. The basin is lined with slices of fresh orange and fig, but it's fine to just use orange if you can't find any figs, or to make it without.”

    Regen Orange & Cranberry Panettone Recipe: “Pane-tin-e”

    Regen Orange & Cranberry Panettone Recipe: “Pane-tin-e”

    Nothing beats a panettone at Christmas time - my favourite way to enjoy it is with cranberries and lots of orange zest. Panettone is usually baked in a large round disposable tin which it’s kept in, but these can be tricky to come by. I like to just bake mine in a standard loaf tin - hence why I call mine a ‘Pane-TIN-e’. It tastes just as good and means you don’t need any extra equipment. It also makes slicing and serving a breeze!
