3.5oz Plain flour
2 Eggs
200ml Milk
Small knob of Butter
Beat the flour and eggs together until it forms a smooth paste
Add the milk gradually and whisk until it becomes the same consistancy as double cream
Melt some of the butter in a hot frying pan then pour out the excess
Add a thin layer of the batter to the pan
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes then flip and cook the other side for another minute
Repeat steps 3- 5 until all the batter is used up (should make about 6)

Create a well in the centre and add the eggs, melted butter and milk
Mix together using an electric whisk
Heat a small knob of butter and 1tsp oil in a pan over a medium heat
Once the pan is hot, spoon in 2tbsp of the batter into the pan
Cook on the first side until lots of small bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface
Flip the pancake over and cook for another minute
Repeat 4-7 until all the batter is used up (you can keep the pancakes warm before serving by putting them in an oven on a low temperature)

Season to taste with salt and pepper
430g Strong white bread flour
70g Rye flour
300g Starter
250ml Warm water
2tsp Salt
Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl using dough hooks on a handheld electric whisk or stand mixer on a low setting for a couple of minutes
Turn up the speed and mix for about 10 minutes
Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl with oiled cling film covering it and prove (leave to rise) for 3 hours
Turn out the dough and split in two and shape into two round loaves
Flour the dough baskets and place the shaped doughs into it
Prove for a further 2.5 hours
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees
Put some cold water into a baking tray at the bottom of the oven to create steam
Turn out the loaves onto two separate baking trays with semolina
Slash the dough in a cross and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped underneath
Leave to cool
1lb 2oz Strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
2tsp Salt
2tsp Fast action dried yeast
3floz Olive or rapeseed oil
9floz Warm water
1 bunch fresh rosemary, some finely chopped and some cut into 3cm sprigs
Large pinch of sea salt
Drizzle a layer of oil over a large flat baking tray
Put the flour in a large bowl, with the salt on one side and the yeast on the other
Add the oil and enough water to make a soft but not sticky dough
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface
Mix the finely chopped rosemary into the dough by kneading it in
Shape the dough into a flat oval and place it in the prepared tray
Flatten it out until it fits the tray and cover loosely with oiled cling film or an inverted baking tray
Leave to prove for about an hour or until it's doubled in size
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees fan
Once proved, with a floured index finger, press holes into the dough at regular intervals
Press the sprigs of rosemary into the holes
Drizzle some oil on top and sprinkle over the salt
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until pale-golden brown and well risen
Remove from the oven, drizzle with some more oil and leave to cool on a wire rack
500g Seeded bread flour
2tsp Salt
2tsp Dried yeast
3tbsp Olive oil
320ml Warm water
Add the flour to a large bowl and add the salt to one side and yeast to the other
Add the oil and most of the water and mix together, adding more water until you get a soft, sticky dough and all the flour is mixed in
Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 10 minutes (the dough should be smooth by the end)
Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and prove for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size
Once risen, tip the dough onto a floured work surface and do a few kneads to knock back the air
Flatten the dough into a rectangle, with the long side facing you. Fold the long sides into the middle, one on top of the other
Turn the dough over so the seam is on the bottom and fold the open sides underneath. You should have a rough oval shape
Place the bloomer on a floured baking tray and cover with an inverted baking tray. Leave to prove for about an hour until doubled in size
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
Once the bloomer has risen, spray with water and then dust with some flour
Score three diagonal slashes across the dough and place in the oven along with a baking tray at the bottom filled with water to create steam
Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the oven down to 180 degrees and continue baking for 15 more minutes
Take the bloomer out of the oven (the base should sound hollow if you tap it underneath) and leave to cool on a wire rack
