| Baguettes to feed 185? James Taylor's Millet & Emmer Baguettes combine the sweet, nutty flavours of wholemeal flour with the airy structure of a well-fermented dough. Made with a mix of emmer flour and red millet flour, balanced by strong white wheat for structure, they deliver a flavourful, beautifully textured crust and a soft, open crumb. Naturally leavened and slow-fermented for depth of flavour, this recipe makes around 12 baguettes, perfect for feeding events or schools. |
This Millet & Emmer Baguette recipe is part of a series from James Taylor’s pioneering school kitchen, which also includes James's Baked Beans with Flamingo & Yellow Peas, Chana Masala and Lentil & Chickpea Lasagne.
Since 2019, James has been transforming school meals at Sir Thomas Abney and Harrington Hill primary schools in London. His mission is to serve nourishing meals made with 100% organic, British-grown ingredients, introducing children to a wider variety of foods while supporting local farms and the environment. Pulses and wholegrains are central to this approach, and we’re proud to supply British-grown beans, peas, lentils and flours. James has been baking sourdough in schools for three years, gradually shifting from white to wholegrain flours like emmer and millet, creating bread that’s both nutritious and delicious enough to win over young eaters.

Isabella Palmer's salad of beetroot, barley and peas is a real show-stopper: textured, zippy and vibrant. The beetroot and the black barley are both full of antioxidant anthocyanins, giving them such rich colour. This salad keeps well in the fridge for batch lunches (but if you’re making ahead, add the crispy topping just before serving).
Danka Jandric makes English muffins with wholemeal YQ flour for an incredibly rich and nutty flavour. They're perfect for toasting and topped with your favourite morning spread. The recipe includes an option for overnight proving, which deepens the flavour, improves digestibility, and makes muffins ready in time for breakfast on a weekend morning.
Danka Jandric's wholemeal YQ flour summer cake topped with seasonal fruit celebrates British summer and amazing British produce from grains and seeds to berries.
