Walnut and Date Bread

Fruit and nut, how could it be wrong? A light loaf that is amazing with a light buttering but even better toasted.

Today’s creation, fruit and nut have always been the best of pals, together in this bread they do not disappoint. The loaf was very moist, possibly gaining some moisture from the dates themselves, the walnuts really finish it off. The only down side I have found so far, it is a little tricky getting the walnut pieces into the dough and the dates are very sticky to chop. After tasting the bread on its own which to be honest was excellent I tried adding a little butter, the result was divine. This loaf was a perfect meal accompaniment, going well with soups or part of a salad, I tried both. I had it toasted for breakfast the next day with a good spreading of butter. The dates become warm and slightly crisped, almost like a posh man’s tea-cake.

Three Cheese and Chilli Bread

A moist and light bread with a massive kick, a simple flavoured bread that never dissapoints

BAKE IT YOURSELF

Today I created one of my all-time favourites, the three cheese and chilli loaf. With a mix of parmesan and chilli powder incorporated with the dry ingredients, it gains a buttery taste followed by a kick. It’s very soft and with the added chunks of both Cheddar and Gouda cheese it’s perfect to eat on its own, no need to drown out the flavours with butter. I have tried toasted slices and it is divine, the heat starts to re-melt the cheese giving you the perfect early morning snack. Everybody that tries this will love it, you can’t get bored eating it and people will keep going back for another slice.
