| 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.

Danka Jandric's salad of lentils and spelt with caramelised vegetables, feta, blanched asparagus, pumpkin seeds and a lemon-vinegar vinaigrette is hearty and filling but also refreshing and zingy!
This vibrant take on the classic South Asian kitchari brings together split peas and pearled spelt for a protein and fibre-rich base, paired with seasonal vegetables and deeply aromatic spices.
This fragrant, comforting dish created by Hema Mavers pairs creamy flageolet beans with finely chopped seasonal vegetables in a warming tomato and spice sauce. A blend of cumin, cardamom, ginger, and other aromatic spices brings depth and complexity, balanced with a touch of citrus for brightness. Served with soft, griddle-baked wholemeal wheat and millet chapatis, it’s a nourishing meal perfect for any day of the week.
