The Sourdough Whisperer Bonus Collection
Bonus recipes, news and reviews to pass the time until the book arrives….
I created this blog when my second book, The Sourdough Whisperer was being released to share the set of bonus recipes I created to support it. Now that my new, and third, book, has been published, I have been posting lots of new information and some sneak peeks on my main website.
I’d hate anyone to miss out, so please do pop over and find the full recipe for my new stuffed pizza rolls and subscribe to follow that blog to receive all of my news and recipes…
Happy Baking! And eating!!
If you would like to learn more about proving dough, I recently made a video showing well, under and over proved that you can now watch as part of the Pastry Arts Baking Summit 2022 – discover how the doughs look, behave, handle and bake, and why. Click here to watch.
One of my favourite mixes: cheese and zaatar. I hope you like it! Just look at the swirl of za’atar and the tunnels of cheese…sooooooo good!
If you’ve got mincemeat to use up, this one is for you!
Welcome to my third bonus recipe….I know I’m repeating myself, but I really do love this recipe! I was so pleased with it when I first created it, it turned out even better than I hoped. Like so many of my recipes, this was the result of using up leftovers and wondering what it would create. So, I give you, my ‘Christmas Carrot and Buttermilk Loaf’.
In the dough I used up some leftover mincemeat from making mince pies at Christmas, hence the name, and added in some leftover grated carrots with the idea that it might produce a carrot cake outcome, and as I spotted half a pot of buttermilk in my fridge that also needed using up, that got thrown into the dough too! And the outcome is a light, flavoursome loaf, with a slight sweetness, studded with dried fruits from the mincemeat, and all creating a wonderful texture. If you don’t have mincemeat I’ve provided alternative options.
I really hope you like it, and I hope it makes you feel festive. Happy baking all!

It seems that my cheese and chilli/chile flake loaf has been a success! Check out all of these bakes, and these are only the ones I could capture…there was even more in amongst Instagram stories… thank you all!
Did you try it? Did you like it?? Do let me know, and do send me your photos if I’ve missed them xx
If you like bread, and you like cheese, you’ll love this! Add in a bit of chilli heat, to a level of your choice, and you’ve got this loaf of joy!
In this recipe, the dough is laminated, and spread with small chunks of cheese, rolled up into a fat sausage to prove again, before baking. The cheese creates pockets of melted brilliance inside the loaf…I challenge you to eat only one slice!
This loaf was created as an oval, but will also work as a round loaf or in a large loaf tin.
