Recipes for yeasted baking, breads, rolls, buns, brioche and yeasted pastries
Bread can be very relaxing to make and bake. This braided Italian loaf, covered with sesame seeds delivers a great texture and lovely flavour to savour after a relaxing day baking. For a very tasty bread I don’t think you can go far wrong if some sesame seeds are sprinkled over the crust. So for […]
Having seen a recipe for Oaty Banana Drop Scones on River Cottage I decided to make a slight variant of them. Drop Scones are similar, if not exactly the same as Scotch Pancakes. They also are very similar to those American pancakes so often enjoyed with maple syrup. These, though, are different in that they have […]
Focaccia, that lovely olive oil enriched bread is always so tasty. Covered with a mix of herbs and and parmesan with cheese in the dough too this one is extra special. Such a great loaf for dipping and as an accompaniment to dinner. I do love focaccia and usually make a large one, with rosemary, […]
English Muffins are great for breakfast, so imagine a loaf of bread for toasting, made to have the same texture and flavour. This is such a great toasting loaf I sometimes wish breakfast would never end. Having recently made some English Muffins, which were very good indeed, I had an idea for a bread that […]

The perfect start to a breakfast English Muffins are the best. When I first started baking about 6 years ago one of the first yeast-based items I baked was English Muffins. But that was before the advent of my Youtube channel. Looking back at that recipe I see that it used a lot of yeast […]
Soft buns with a sweet raspberry jam filling. Great as a quick breakfast. The idea of a soft enriched dough bun is very appealing. Filled with a little raspberry jam, or indeed any jam, the thought of them is even more enticing. I do love enriched dough, as the small amount of sugar together with […]
Easy to make this soft sandwich bread takes no kneading and is perfect for sandwiches. Having recently made a lovely no knead bread in a Dutch oven I wanted to make another version that could be baked in a loaf tin. Additionally I wanted to make it a sandwich loaf, that was soft textured. I […]
