Delivery, and a new flavour.

So I managed to get the 30 Ciabatta Rolls done for Millie, and delivered them safely.



Innocent looking bag, Hiding a secret!

I was told that only 2 remained from the sample batch that I took down on Tuesday, and that they had been well received.
The best news was that I now have a weekly order for 30 rolls, that will help the viability no end.

There is a new Deli opening in town soon, and I have dropped a card in, with the promise of a sampling session in a couple of weeks. I'm a bit busy, and looking in the shop yesterday so are they, so when it's all a bit quieter I will do some Chocolate Rolls, maybe Cheese and Onion spirals or a Focaccia and take them down.

It was suggested to me by Yvonne, after the Cherry and Vanilla Focaccia, that I try a Dried Apricot and Almond loaf, so I modified my white sandwich loaf (the one with Golden Syrup, Butter and Milk in) adding Almond Flour, chopped Apricots and Flaked Almonds. I also added a teaspoon of Vanilla Extract.

35 minutes in the oven and it came out looking a bit anonymous,

I'm now waiting for it to cool, so I can try it. ...............................................................................................................................................

And here it is, the crumb is soft, with the fruit and nuts well scattered. I might try a dash of sugar in the next one, and maybe a tear-and-share format. Yvonne suggests it as a base for Bread and Butter Pudding.

Spot the Flaked Almond

The next idea is for a wholemeal loaf with Dates and Walnuts, keep checking back.

Incidentally, the spell-checker on Blogger changes Focaccia to Dogcatcher, and Ciabatta to Batty? Mind you Blogger comes up as Boggier.

Now it's almost time to start Oats Sourdough for Monday.
