About
| This hot cross bun loaf from Izy Hossack uses a blend of wholemeal wheat and rye flour to create a rich and wholesome dough, high in fibre, packed with flavour and with a deliciously light texture thanks to the tangzhong method. It's wonderful eaten fresh or cut into slices and toasted the next day. |
At Hodmedod we only sell wholemeal flour. Not only is it more nutritious and flavourful, but it's less wasteful than white roller-milled flour. However, achieving a fluffy open crumb without the help of white flour can be a tricky business, especially when it comes to enriched dough. We love this recipe from Izy Hassak, where she uses the tangzhong method to achieve a pillow-soft loaf with only wholemeal wheat and rye flour!
The tangzhong method starts the loaf off with a simple flour-water mixture heated together to make a kind of roux. This means the dough contains some pre-gelatinised starch before baking, helping to lock in extra moisture in and achieve a lighter crumb.

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.
