Khorasan and Golden Flaxseeds Baby Master Loaf
Khorasan adds a nutty flavor to any loaf. If used alone, this flour would create a dense loaf, so it is ideal paired with a lighter flour, as it is here. This creates a smooth, tactile dough to work with and a lovely tasty loaf.

Wychwood Oat Blended Flour Baby Sourdough Loaf
This recipe makes a tasty soft loaf, with a slight chew from the oats in this lovely new flour. The mix starts off slightly sloppy but comes together to make a firm dough as the flour and oats absorb the water and the handling builds up structure.
Heritage Bibury Barley Oat Crusted Sourdough
I love adding an oat crust to loaves, the oats toast as the loaf bakes, and added to the beautiful flour, this produces a loaf full of flavour. You can use the method in this recipe to add oats to any of your loaves.

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!
