Heritage Wheat Sourdough with Cider and Walnuts
To make the most of these rediscovered Heritage Harvest flours I like to combine both the Roller-Milled White Flour, with the darker Organic Stoneground Wholemeal Flour, in varying proportions according to the sort of crumb I’m after. Using 3 parts White Flour to 1 part Wholemeal flour will give a light wholemeal texture with a degree of heaviness that’s lovely to eat and especially good toasted. If you want to increase the proportion of wholemeal flour do, it will make the crumb heavier but you will get a more intense bran flavour. -
Heritage Harvest Wheat Cider Loaf
In this new age where we’re either in a lockdown or feeling less inclined to travel, I find myself thinking more about the journey ingredients take to get from the field to my table. For the grain used to make flour it’s no exception. It used to be said up until not long ago that all of us, the world over, could only make fine bread from high-gluten Canadian wheat varieties. And we believed it, mostly, even though hundreds of years of evidence – from old master still life paintings through to the early days of photography – showed us images of great looking loaves of bread made from what today we’d call “Heritage Grain”.
