Seeded Milk Batch Rolls

Oh these were just great! Dan Lepards milk bread recipe from the Guardian  had turned out great in the past so I decided to mix it up and make them into batch rolls- sprinkled with poppy seeds and pumpkin seeks. They are fluffy and a little sweet. Perfect with just butter/ for soup or do with my hubby did and jam pack them with bacon and black pepper mayo. I would definately recommend. A little bit of kneading and an hour of rising in between is all it takes.

Black Pepper Rye Bread

This was a fail I'm afraid! But it was because I thought I had Rye flour at home and instead had Spelt flour. The bread was just too tough so note to self.....substituting different flours does not work!

Cake Morning at Lilys!

I decided to be a social butterfly and invite my lovely work pals over for a very sweet morning of cakes, chats and giggles. I chose a varied mix...of cakes, not friends! Blueberry and Sourcream Cake with cream cheeses frosting ( bbcgoodfood), Coffee and Walnut cake ( Nigella), Chocolate Guinness Cake (Hummingbird Bakery), Pecan and Bourbon Brownies ( Dan Lepard Cookbook), Peanut Butter Choc Chip Oat Cookies.
