| Need to feed a hundred or more? Look no further than school chef James Taylor's recipe for around 130 sourdough rolls, perfect for schools and events. |
This recipe is part of a series from James Taylor's school menu, including Baked Beans with Flamingo & Yellow Peas, Chana Masala and Lentil & Chickpea Lasagne.
James has been working since mid-2019 to transform school meals at two London primary schools - Sir Thomas Abney School in Stoke Newington and Harrington Hill Primary School in Clapton. James’s school meals introduce more diverse ingredients to the school lunch menu, broadening children's palates and allowing for more sustainable sourcing by using locally grown produce that benefits the soil, the planet, and the health of the children. James’s goal is to serve meals made with 100% organic British ingredients.
Pulses are central to this mission, and we've been delighted to support James by providing British-grown beans, peas, and lentils. Read more about James' work in our blog How to Transform School Meals? Beans Is How!
James has been making sourdough in his primary schools for three years. He started with bread made from 100% white flour, which is always popular with the children. Bit by bit, he has been swapping out some of the white flour for different wholegrain flours, trying to find the most nourishing bread possible that the children will still eat.
For this crusty bread roll recipe, he incorporated Emmer Flour and Red Millet Flour, which adds a unique flavour and texture.

This simple sweet, sour and herby bean dish uses white coco beans to make the most of abundant seasonal courgettes in a perfect dish for summer. It's delicious served hot or cold.
Think homemade bagels are complicated? Think again! Traditionally boiled before baking for extra chewiness, these bagels are a satisfying baking project. Barley malt extract, as used in New York style bagels, adds a distinct depth; but if unavailable, you can substitute molasses or honey.
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).
