✨ Gluten Free Sage & Onion Focaccia ✨

I don’t know about anyone else but I love the crunchy, almost burnt bits of stuffing on the edges? And my husband loves using a slice of bread to mop up his gravy….so it got me thinking, I need to test some new focaccia recipes , so what better way than to add some gluten free stuffing into the mixture and then dip it in gravy! Hello Autumnal, Hello Sunday roast snacky snack!

A new gluten-free flour to play with… and I knew I wanted to make something a little bit special. 🤍

I was very kindly gifted a bag of the new organic gluten-free bread flour from , so naturally I had to put it through its paces!

I decided to make this spinach, chorizo & ricotta tear & share loaf — soft, fluffy gluten-free bread, packed with a savoury, creamy filling and made for pulling apart while it’s still warm. 🥖✨

And honestly… this flour was a dream to work with.

For me, a really good gluten-free bread flour needs to do more than just hold together. I want something with a lovely texture, good structure and that proper homemade-bread feel — and I was really impressed with how this dough behaved. It kneaded like typical gluten dough!
Gluten free baking can mean you need an ingredient list as long as your arm for most recipes, this can be frustrating, especially if you don’t bake often. Interestingly with Shipton Mills Organic Gluten Free Bread Flour, they include psyllium husk powder in the ingredients, this is great if you don’t want a thousand open bags in the cupboard!

I’m definitely going to be experimenting with this flour some more…

What should I make with it next?

✨ Gluten Free Almond Praline Brownie✨

I was inspired by a reel I saw on , it was by awesome baker . It featured a stunning looking upside down Almond Praline Chocolate Loaf Cake. So I thought.. I wonder if it would work as a brownie. Turns out, it totally does! I absolutely love how the almonds look floating in the praline, they almost look like flower petals. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous!

Eddies first ever taste of a sour sweet, I just knew I had to be ready with the camera and he didn’t disappoint. Pretty sure he nearly sucked his ears through his jaw 😂🫶🏻

✨Gluten Free Baklava Bites✨

For those who have been with me for a while, you’ll know I’ve tried a few different variations of Baklava for the market. This may well be the 3rd or 4th.. I’ve lost count but this one is definitely one of my favourites! You see it’s tricky with market stall food. It needs to be fairly quick to make, easy to eat while walking around and somewhat able to be made ahead of time and baked fresh on the day. Some of the other options I’ve tried haven’t really ticked all of those boxes. But this one, might be a keeper!

✨ Gluten Free Pistachio Puddle Cookies✨

I’ve had a solid chunky cookie recipe for a while now but I wanted to test it with a vision I’d had. Somewhere in the depths of instagram, I saw a perfectly shaped biscuit, with a perfectly round pool of chocolate in the middle,..So I wondered.. could I use my chunky cookie recipe, smoosh the middle down and fill it with a pistachio ganache. Turns out I absolutely can do that! They came out perfect and sooo gorgeous! Standby for more versions of these bad boys!

Important notice 🔔‼️

Due to the awfu…delightful weather. I’m afraid I have only made a small amount of loaves this week, most have been pre ordered. I have just one Omega loaf left for tomorrow.

There will still be lots of other gorgeous food on the stall but the loaves require the ovens to be on for over an hour and I just can’t face it 🥵 ☀️ I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, hopefully the weather will be kinder next weekend 🩷 stay safe everyone 😮‍💨
