Cracking 'Granary' Rolls and Loaf
Cracking 'Granary' Rolls and Loaf

I so miss the quintessentially British Hovis’ trademarked Granary Bread. It has an absolutely distinctive sweet, nutty malted flavour and aroma. It is also wonderfully moist.  Hats off to Hovis ! 

Now I’m attempting to make my very own version because it can’t be bought here in the States. Please bear with me — I’ve been creating my own recipe and have baked two lots thus far. The ingredients are being honed so that you too can experience this wonderful bread for yourself. Believe me, it’s so worth it . . .

Finny Fannie - Round Rye Loaf with Starter Dough
Finny Fannie - Round Rye Loaf with Starter Dough

Finny Fannie — inspired by traditional Finnish bread-making and the American recipe called Fanny bread. It may be wry but it certainly ain’t dry! A bit of an experiment but it turned out very well, easy to slice and, frankly, tastes brilliant. So good that this loaf disappeared in no time at all — I only just managed to get a picture of the last slice!

HOLESOME BAGELS
HOLESOME BAGELS

Bagels sprinkled with poppy, sesame or coarse sea salt are so versatile.  Split in half, try topping with thickly spread cream cheese and chopped fresh dates.  Mmm…  my mouth is watering already.

It’s also your big chance to do a satisfying loop-de-loop with your index finger when making the classic central bagel hole.  It will be an enlightening experience, no doubt!
