Hanny’s Bakes

Home baker with a brand new kitchen ready to get back into bread and cake making again. Generally a fan of all good food and wine.

Turned the kitchen into a bakery today! Tried out @RichardBertinet poolish French baguettes. Going to freeze half of the baguettes as they are part baked. Have friends round for dinner tonight so may send them home with a baguette party bag! #bread

This new book arrived at the weekend so tonight I made some of the simpler wheat loaves. Didn’t have poppy seeds so I used sesame. Looking forward to testing it! @Faviken #nordic #nordicbaking #bread #freshyeast #homemade

@TotallySwedish1 do you sell Graham flour in your Barnes shop? Thanks!

Made my first sourdough loaf in the new kitchen. A little flatter than I’d hoped and holey (probably a little too much so) but tastes good! I’ll keep practising. #sourdough #homemadebread #ferment #sourdoughstarter #flourwatersalt

@dan_lepard The thermometer knows you’re a baker! (Or thinks you’re French). Hope you feel better soon.

Busy evening of baking last night for our first department meeting of 2019. Lemon syrup cakes and attempted candied grapefruit peel dipped in chocolate. Both recipes from #sweet @ottolenghi #helengoh it’s my favourite book for cakes/desserts at the moment.

@byAlastairL @guardianfood I made the minestrone and it was delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

First loaf baked in the new oven. Tried a recipe from @dan_lepard #shortandsweet I hadn’t baked before - jersey milk and clotted cream loaf. Tastes a little like brioche with a lovely rich crust. Was delicious toasted for breakfast! #homemadebread #bread

Here we go. Diets blah blah dry January blah blah forced rhubarb blah blah blood oranges blah blah veganuary blah blah marmalade blah blah.

I’m putting myself into a medically induced coma ‘til asparagus.

[Hanny’s Bakes @hanny_bakes]

I’ve got no problem with anyone being vegan but 2 days into January 2019 and the advertising media is obsessed and driving me mad. I don’t see how it’s a healthy alternative or something that people should do temporarily. So it’s beef short ribs, Korean style for us tonight.

I’ve inherited my Granny’s cookbook collection which includes this WI recipe book from 1965. I’m rather dubious about these two recipes. Not sure bananas with cheese sauce could ever work and the coffee hedgehog?! #oldcookbook #wi #recipes

[Hanny’s Bakes @hanny_bakes]

One of the first things I made in the new kitchen was @ottolenghi and #helengoh lemon, blueberry and almond tea cakes and they were delicious. I got #sweet just before the building work started so was excited to finally be able to cook from it! #baking #cakes #blueberries
