Rather proud of this one. 20% strong white and the rest a mixture of wholemeal seeded and granary flour - odd ends of bags from the cupboard. I find placing the loaf tin on a preheated pizza stone in the oven helps with a more even rise and a more thorough bake. Does anyone else do that? 🍞

Winter’s walk. Atmospherically misty

Coffee (Cafe Roast from The Dancing Goat) and pastries in this secret hideaway in The Shambles in York - Hebden Tea Experience. Don’t be fooled by the frontage. There’s plenty of nice warm seating indoors, and the range of tea on offer is more than impressive!

Breakfast yesterday at La Bottega Milanese in Leeds. Great coffee, great pastries.

After snow this morning autumn at RHS Harlow Carr seems a distant memory!
