Mr Kipling's bread


This morning I'm starting a loaf with Bateman's flour. This is the mill in the grounds of Rudyard Kipling's house in East Sussex.

I'm using a sourdough 'mother' so it will take all day to prove and it will go into the oven at around teatime.

I was worried that the little mother wouldn't survive being in the fridge for two weeks but, being fed and warmed last night, she has woken her up nicely.

This is stone ground 100% wholemeal so will add a some strong white to give a little lift. I'll show you the result tonight.

In the mean time am off to put up some barbed wire.
