Bread

You can use any type of flour: I usually mix 50% strong white with 50% somethng else (wholemeal, rye, spelt).. For granary bread, add 50g malted wheat- half whole, half ground. For seeded bread, add 50g seeds (pumpkin, sunflower). This recipe starts with a sponge (half the flour, the yeast and water) which gives more flavour and a smoother texture..
