  9. Bread of Picenum Picenum was a town in Italy which was well known 2000 years ago for its speciality bread. This bread requires a yeast starter or “mother dough”. Mix flour and warm water to form a loose batter and add chopped currants. Leave for a few days until the mixture is fermenting.

  10. Pane Picenum 500g Wholewheat Emmer flour 2 tablespoons of Mother Dough 200ml warm whole milk 2 teaspoons of Honey 50g Currants 25ml Olive Oil Add the honey and currants to warm milk and leave to infuse for an hour. Mix in the flour, currant mix and the mother dough and kneed into a stiff dough. Leave to rise for an hour. Knock back and kneed a second time, form into a round loaf shape and leave to rise and double in size. Bake at 190°C for 23 minutes.Glaze with olive oil whilst still hot. Cool before eating.

  11. Tudor Baking During Tudor times, baking bread was very much in the medieval tradition, using brick or stone ovens which had to be fired up before each bake. Mixed grain bread was used for workers and artisans. Refined white bread was eaten by the aristocracy. Society at this time was very class orientated.

  12. Clapbread or Peasebread At the end of the bakers day, clapbread would be made up from bran, left over flour and probably floor sweepings. The oven would not be fired up and this bread would cook in the residual heat from the last bake. It was a very cheep bread for the poor. Peasebread was made when all of the grain had been used up. Peas, beans and vetch would be milled to make an inferior loaf.

  13. Ingredients A Ingredients B 300g pea flour 400g bran 300g wheat flour 200g bean flour Yeast Yeast 500ml warm water 500ml warm water Ingredients C 400g Bran 200g wheat flour Yeast 500ml warm water

  14. 19th Century Bread During the 19th Century there were many types of bread made regionally. Many homes and businesses baked their own bread in their own ovens.

  15. Lancashire Riddle Bread This bread was made as pub grub, to go with cheese and pickles and a pint of ale.

  16. Riddle Bread 300g Oatmeal flour 50g Sourdough yeast starter Warm Water Make like a pizza base and use a skewer or a ruler to mark the rolled out dough very deeply. Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes. This is a quick to make bread which can be easily split into pieces. Traditionally it was spread thickly with butter which sat in the riddle like grooves.
