My #realbreadweek highlight!

I was recently interviewed as a guest on @thestoriedrecipe.podcast and our episode is live!! Here’s what the host, Becky Hadeed, had to say about the episode and the highlights of our interview.

"I’m very honored to introduce you to Danielle Ellis. Danielle is an Ambassador for the Real Bread Campaign and Judge for the World Bread Awards.
Today, Danielle shares how a series of influences – a childhood love of French holidays, a summer stint as an au pair, a “mad Scotsman”, and a tough pastry teacher all came together to convince Danielle to leave a decades-long career in marketing and enrol in a French school for baking. Danielle completed the 670 hour course (!!). In addition, Danielle completed many months of work experience, including an internship at a bakery that used NO electrically-powered equipment – nope, not even to mix 50lb batches of dough.

Today, as an expert on baking, scaling, marketing, and running a bakery, Danielle teaches classes to both novice and professional bakers. Welcome Danielle!"

Becky also tried my pesto rolls recipe and took some wonderful photos. Thank you Becky!

Flavour is so important. Adding a percentage of different flour such as rye and buckwheat that I added to these sourdough loaves really ramps up the taste. What are you trying in #realbreadweek ? #breadclassonline #teamrofco #realbread #shiptonmillflour

Salt. It’s such an important part of breadmaking

Salt. It’s such an important part of breadmaking in #realbreadweek and always. If you’ve ever forgotten to add it to your dough, it will be very sticky and very hard to manage. In my blog post (link in bio) you’ll find out more. I’d almost suggest you do leave the salt out one time to see the consequences. .
Don’t you just love my silver salt sellar? #saltsellar #salt #breadmaking #realbread

What you may ask is #realbreadweek ? It’s an annual celebration of the transformation of flour, grain and salt (using yeast or sourdough starter) into delicious bread. If you’ve bought a loaf of bread in a packet, have you read the label? Do you really want to eat all those extras? .
We’re looking for pictures of you with bread you’ve made or you’ve bought from an artisan baker. Use #wearerealbread to join in! .
I’ll be sharing a simple way to make a sourdough starter from tomorrow. This is a simple white yeasted bread ready for lunch

Pancake Day is all about ..... the golden syrup! Hope you have a flipping good pancake day. Scotch pancakes made with yogurt and cooked on a girdle - that isn’t a typo! #pancakeday2020

Ok so it is a bit early for hot cross buns. But if you’d like to watch me demo hot cross buns, book now (link in bio) 16 March at 10:30 am on Zoom just £5. Everyone welcome. If you can’t make that date DM me to book a personal session. Can you smell the spice? I always mix my own. Today it is nutmeg, allspice, ginger and cinnamon. Homemade hot cross buns are SO much better than shop bought. #hotcrossbuns #easterbaking #spicedbuns #teamrofco #breadbakingclass

Fabulous croissants! My first trial with @theedinburghbutterco cultured butter great made for sweet pastries. Easy to use and a lovely light finish. Not sure I can wait until breakfast to try them. #buttercroissant #croissants #viennoiseries #teamrofco #breadbabes #culturedbutter

Rye and oat sourdough. Oats cooked into a porridge

Rye and oat sourdough. Oats cooked into a porridge then added when cool. A high hydration made it a little difficult to handle but used some coil folds to strengthen. Particularly tasty crust. #realbread #sourdoughbread #teamrofco #breadchat #porridgebread #crumbshot

One place I did managed to visit before the first lockdown was Europain in Paris - the most wonderful, inspiring shoe for bread professionals that takes place every two years. Inspiring shapes and flavours from the Minoterie Suire stand even further back. So it might be possible to go in 2022? @europainfrance #breadmaking #breadporn

It's National Nutella day apparently! Not only is this sweet dough filled with Nutella, there's additional white chocolate on top. Hope you won't judge! #nationalnutelladay #nutellabread #teamrofco #sweetdough

Baked pears with almond sponge. No pastry so this is a ‘Not a Bakewell’ the pears I used were enormous and split into halves and sliced..
This is also my experiment with side light in the #eatcaptureshare challenge. #peartart
