Don't know what it tastes like but it looks fancy

they look good - who is Jack? will he share his recipe?

I forgot to post this bread I made last week. I was after something different and came up with a caraway seed, fennel seed and ground coriander loaf. (When I googled it later, I discovered I wasn’t the first.)

By ‘eck it’s a terrific flavour combination.

I shall be making this again. Lots.

(The miniature loaves are little taste testers I give to neighbours to see if they like it, then I'll make a normal one if it gets approval.)

That sounds good, I chuck fennel seeds into lots of things with good results. the mini ones look very cute - posh restaurant bread territory!

He’s Jack Sturgess, often seen on Sunday Brunch.

https://www.bakewithjack.co.uk/ has a lot of his recipes but he also has a youtube channel with loads of fantastic tips and techniques. Maybe the fougasse recipe is on there or in his recent book: Bread Every Day.

Ah I'm a Saturday Kitchen loyalist, I will have a look.

Yes, it's from the book.

Oh good.

I’ve dropped lots of hints about the book so I’m hoping to get it for Fathers’ Day.

I've found his pumpkin fougasse on his website so may give that a whirl (potentially sans pumpkin) to complement my usual repertoire.

Always nice to get something you want...

That'd gone down a treat alongside tonight's pasta and meatballs in a tomato and basil sauce

wow that looks awesome

I bought Jack Sturgess's book, Bread Every Day, yesterday and had a go at his beetroot, raisins and rosemary loaf. It's still cooling down so no idea of the taste yet but it smells amazing.

Gosh! What ratios are you using for that.
Do you find the Schwalbe better than the Continental?
