| 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 comforting barley risotto - or "orzotto" - comes from Greens & Grains by Anne-Katrin Weber, a beautiful celebration of plant-forward cooking that highlights the flavour and versatility of whole grains. In this recipe, nutty pearl barley replaces traditional rice to create a risotto that’s hearty, wholesome, and full of texture. Sweet, slow-roasted cherry tomatoes add depth and richness, perfectly balanced by the creamy tang of Gorgonzola and a touch of lemon. It’s a dish that feels indulgent yet nourishing.
Sometimes, only a sweet breakfast will do. Whether it’s for comfort after a sleepless night, or as an indulgence on a lazy weekend, this spiced, sweet and crunchy breakfast torte is perfect. Yes, it has a bit of added sugar, but it’s also packed full with 11 plant varieties and approximately 6 grams of fibre in each slice. Try it with some yoghurt and stewed seasonal fruit.
A vibrant, balanced salad featuring nutty Carlin Peas, crisp apples, and crunchy walnuts, all tossed in a creamy, sharp blitzed butternut squash dressing.
