  • Recipes using BeanBay products

    As well as roasting plenty, lockdown has been a good opportunity to do some home cooking. Today's effort used two BeanBay ingredients to add an extra dimension to some home bread making
    I made a natural sourdough sweet and sour dark rye and spelt loaf. My first foray into the dark side of baking. Turned out quite good!

    The two ingredients from BeanBay were 2 double shots of Panama Volcan Baru espresso and 2 tsp of Dutch Cocoa powder. These were added for flavour, bitterness and colour

    Sweetness added was some Beechworth honey. Final flavour component was caraway seeds

    I'm pretty happy with the results - it's a flavour bomb! - but will dial back the espresso to one double shot next time for a softer balance. Maybe try a natural Ethiopian

    The finished bread works great with cream cheese to balance the intensity of the bread

    Happy to share recipe for this and other natural sourdoughs if anyone interested. It's very cool when you get your first sourdough white loaf fresh out of the oven!

    My daughter has a killer recipe for Dutch Cocoa microwave mug cake I might post too. Zero to heaven in 3 minutes!

    Cheers!

    Just by looking at the images of your spelt loaf and sourdough sweet, my mouth starts watering. I believe the taste is as great, as the texture of the goodies you made. I am also fond of making different foods I see on the internet, and now I will try the spelt loaf you made. Before that I used to do from youtube, which were pretty good. I think you will have a great success with those recipes, and hope your meals taste as good as they look. So keep the work up, because you are also an inspiration for me, and good luck with your future ideas about cooking.
