| 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 cake is pure comfort from a tin! Made with kibbled naked barley, it takes inspiration from the creamy warmth of porridge and transforms it into something richer, denser and custardy.
Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.
Lentils can sometimes blend into the background of a dish but these organic black lentils from France deserve to be the star of the show. This simple dish showcases their texture, colour and flavour.
