Miller's Choice, baker's delight!
This special limited edition loaf from the Wakelyns Bakery uses Miller's Choice flour, grown in Suffolk and milled by us. Much like YQ, but created by time in the field and careful selection of old wheat landraces rather than crossing more modern wheat varieties, Miller's Choice is a wheat population. It was developed over twelve years by Andrew Forbes of Brockwell Bake, using 19th century (and older) tall wheat varieties as a starting point.
Its heritage means it's particularly well suited to low input farming systems and our Miller's Choice was grown organically by John and Alice Pawsey in Suffolk. This week you can try it in some of Masie and Henrietta's wonderful slow-fermented wholegrain sourdough.
Andrew Forbes is a hero of the alternative grain community, you can read a little more about his work with Brockwell Bake and the creation of Miller's Choice on our blog.
We’ve got flour, we’ve got grain, and this week only (probably) we’ve got amazing tin loaves made by the Wakelyns bakery. They’re using exactly the same recipe as they use for our YQ tin loaves, but the two breads are very different – why not buy one of each and carry out a taste test!
Wakelyns Bakery make bread at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry. Each week the bakery produces very small batches of wholegrain bread, just enough for us to offer a few of their sustaining loaves, which have a complex nutty flavour and keep beautifully, through our website.
*Add the loaf to your basket and complete your order as usual. A small number loaves will be baked to order every Wednesday. Orders for Wednesday baking must be received by 8am on the Monday.

Miller's Choice, Organic Wholegrain
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
£1.49 £2.69
Wheat is one of the most common foods but whole wheat grains - sometimes known as wheatberries - are surprisingly rarely used. They're a versatile, tasty and nutritious ingredient that brings the full flavour of wheat, whether used whole or freshly milled.
The grains can be soaked, cooked and eaten whole, but our current spring wheat is best suited for milling at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) an makes a flavoursome and nutritious flour.
This Miller's Choice population was created by Andrew Forbes of Brockwell Bake by selecting for the long, lax ear of Red Lammas, the King of English milling wheats up to the mid 19th century, from John Letts’ heritage population.
Grown in Suffolk by John and Alice Pawsey.

Botanical Flour - #2 Meadow Blend
£6.99
|
14 grains, seeds, pulses and flowers reflecting the diversity of crop and wild plants one might find in and by a field. This is a freshly milled flour, ready to use in your bread and bakes. Botanical Blend #2 is also available as a grist of whole grains &c for home milling. |
Created by Vanessa Kimbell of the Sourdough School and blended here at the Bean Store from grains and seeds grown by UK farmers, this botanical base mix is designed for use in sweet and savoury sourdough baking.
Originally available as a blend of whole grains, seeds and flowers for home milling, Botanical Blend No, 2 is now available as flour, fresh from the Hodmedod mill.
Botanical Blend No. 2 is the first of several blends we plan to offer, all are the culmination of years of research by Vanessa into the workings of the gut microbiome, the process of wild yeast fermentation and the art of baking for flavour and nutrition. They reflect the diversity we need to see in fields and in our diets.
Any home baker can mill and add the blend to their bakes, bringing extra fragrance, flavour and nutrition. However, the blend is best used in conjunction with The Sourdough School: Sweet Baking which can be bought separately (with a £5 Hodmedod voucher) or with the blend (without a Hodmedod voucher, but with a £6 discount).
The Sourdough School: Botanical Blends information sheet is available as a free pdf download.

Wakelyns Bakery at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry produces very small batches of wholegrain bread, just enough for us to offer a few of their sustaining loaves, which have a complex nutty flavour and keep beautifully, through our website.
Henrietta Inman, who founded this unique field to loaf bakery, describes their work and the bread they bake with organic flour milled from grain grown on the farm:
We bake, cook and create at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry farm. Agroforestry, integrating alleys of trees between alleys of crops, is an incredibly diverse and therefore resilient and productive way of farming and food production. It is also very delicious and beautiful. We make use of the whole agroforestry system in our bakery kitchen, demonstrating the abundance of ingredients we have all around us.
Our wholegrain sourdough bread is made with the revolutionary YQ population wheat grown in the crop alleys and at Turners of Bytham in Lincolnshire, where Edgar wheat is also grown for the bread. At Wakelyns we save and sow the wheat seeds, harvest, mill and bake them here on the farm. We use timber from the tree alleys and solar panels outside the bakery to power our two wood-fired and electric ovens. Wholegrain flours contain all the goodness of flavour and nutrition from the whole grain of wheat. None of the grain goes to waste in the milling process. Sourdough, naturally leavened bread, is good for our guts and overall health. The fermentation process increases the nutrients available and creates very flavourful loaves, which we really hope you enjoy!
We love our YQ tin loaf toasted in the morning with local Fen Farm Dairy butter and jam made with fruits from the tree alleys; it’s great for sandwiches too and everything really. It keeps very well wrapped in the white paper it arrives in for at least 7 days. If it’s drying out, refresh it by dipping it in water and putting it back in the oven.
To find out more about us and what we do, please visit our website – www.wakelyns.co.uk/bakery
