Still playing with sourdough pain de mie hybrid - going to call it a lemon berry cready (cakey bread) loaf. 😁 Delicious and lovely texture even though it overproofed (29 to 30°C now in Barcelona - no air conditioning in my flat 😅) The ingredients are for a pain de mie sandwich bread but the method is as for cakes. Whisk eggs, milk, water, melted butter, vanilla seeds and a good quantity of sourdough levain (plus optional lemon zest). Fold into the 00 flour, salt and ground cardamom. Don't overwork. Layer berries in the tin. Bake in loaf or pullman tin. Simple and effective 👍😋 It's the 4th one I've made and friend loved it.. - - - Recipe for original pain de mie learnt at the #sourdoughschool - on website in members recipes. I'd like to post this adaptation on the blog one day to share it with you all! #homemade #sourdoughcake #sourdoughpaindemie #sourdoughbaking #lemon #blackcurrant #blueberry #loafcake #eat #healthier #cakes #instacake #summercakes #cakestagram #foodpics #foodies #foodphotography #nomnom 😋🍋🍞💛

Very important warning - seagulls love sourdough bread - shield your food from seagulls on British beaches! 😅🕊️ 2 minutes after this photo a seagull swooped down on me, grabbed my sandwich in it's claws and tried to fly off with it. I fought for my sandwich and got it back. The seagull stood nearby and tried to attack again..🤣. - - - #homemade #sourdoughbread #foodpic #foodphotography #brighton.with mum #sandwich #danger #seagullalert #picnicfood #nomnom #sourdoughbaking

So many sourdough plans... so many packets of flour 👍😁 Will be back in Barcelona soon to get started. With many thanks to the #sourdoughschool for the knowledge, recipes and inspiration 😍 🥖☀️ - - - #sourdough #sourdoughplans #sourdoughinspiration #foodillustration #fooddrawing #foodies #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughclub #ilovebread #breadstagram

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

A beautiful orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais fruitcake made by Dookes! Looks moist and delicious! Dookes’ comments: ‘seriously good!’ and ‘fantastico’!! You can find the guest post recipe at http://wp.me/p2sQo3-US And Dookes’ cake report is at https://hogriderdookes.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/lilis-biker-cake-made-and-tasted/ on his Hogrider Dookes blog.

Extremely tasty-looking Lamingtons by Annette in New Zealand. Lovely and moist even without cream inside, she reports. So tempting piled up on that pretty plate. Yum!

Perfect healthy spelt digestive biscuits by Claudette in London. So yummy for tea! :)

Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.

A delicious seed and nut loaf made by Claudette in London. She reports ‘cannot stop eating it … it is really delicious’ And she used more pumpkin than sunflower seeds and a little chestnut flour too.

Scrumptious orange & rum fruitcake-cake Anglais by Stéphanie in Tahiti ‘This cake is just delicious :) I brought one in the office today and it just vanished in a few minutes! Every one loved it :)’ she reports. Lovely local rum, vanilla, honey!

A fabulous Raspberry charlotte by Kate! Loads of raspberries and great sponge finger casing! The assembly part was actually really easy! and ‘it tasted amazing’ she says, adding it ‘will definitely become a regular pudding in our household!’

A stunning Gâteau Moka by Kate in Cornwall. The piping is wonderful and she was very pleased with it. She also mentions the cake was delish! :)

Yummy wholemeal spelt croissants by Dookes. Very well-shaped and nicely risen too! ‘For a first attempt I have to say I’m pretty pleased. They certainly pass the taste test’ says Dookes.

A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.
