Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

Bara Brith muffins : page 263

Really good, and basically Bara Brith in muffin form. I used oil instead of butter in mine.

Lemon Blackberry Muffins : page 51

We grow blackberries in our allotment; they’re abundant so I always flash freeze the extras for baking or jam. I used half einkorn flour and a flax egg for one of the eggs in this recipe. I omitted the glaze this time. Will definitely repeat these.

Mincemeat Muffins : page 86

Very good muffins. I made changes; used einkorn flour for half the flour, added some spices (extra cinnamon, cloves, allspice), used 1 egg only. Baking time stated was too long, should probably be 18-20 minutes. An excellent way to use some extra mincemeat, with changes in bake time I would give it 5 stars.

Vanilla banana whole grain muffins : page 314

Very easy, adaptable recipe. Muffins are grainy without being too heavy. They freeze well, will definitely make again. This recipe contains 2 eggs; I used 1 plus a flax egg substitute which worked well.
