| Our Essex grown and milled quinoa flour lends a nutty edge to Bread Workshop Sue's white loaf, it also brings a range of amino acids and micro-nutrients not present in wheat flour - delicious and nutritious! |
Sue Hudson who, when she's not keeping our accounts in line, runs Bread Workshops all over Norfolk and Suffolk, has started experimenting with our pea, bean and quinoa flours. As a starting point she's blending them with wheat flours to see how they change and improve the finished loaf. Fava bean flour has long been used to improve the rise of wheat flour doughs (especially in France) and pea flours are increasingly added to improve the protein content. But what about quinoa?
Sue's worked out that at about 10% of the dry weight ingredients the quinoa adds a delicious nutty flavour (even better if you toast the flour first) and, of course, brings all the goodness of quinoa with it. The bread is particularly delicious served toasted with jam!
Preparation time: 2.5 hours (including rising time) | Cooking time: 30 mins | Total time: 3 hours

An old-fashioned classic, upgraded for more plant diversity, more fibre, and, dare I say it, more flavour too! Instead of using just oats in crumble bars, try our four grain muesli base. You can make the crumble bars with either a caramelly date filling or a fresh, tart berry filling.
These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
