March 2011 Challenge Round-up - Local Flour

This month's challenge was hosted by Helen from Fuss Free Flavours. She challenged us to bake something yeasted, using flour where we knew either where it was grown or where it was milled.

Here are the delicious and impressive entries we've received this month.

February 2011 round-up - Challah

This months challenge was hosted by Dom of Belleau kitchen. He choes the traditional Jewish bread of challah, a sweet, light and eggy bread. Everyone seemed to love the challenge and produced some stunning looking loaves. Sorry for the late posting of this round-up, things are a little busy right now for both myself and Michelle.

December round-up - Cranberry-Oat Sourdough Scones

This month's FFTO challege was hosted by Anet from Waiting for Good Dough. Some FFTO members have been working on a sourdough starter so this was a perfect opportunity to use some of the starter in sweet baking. For the FFTO members who didn't have a sourdough starter to hand and alternative recipe using buttermilk was used.

December is always a busy month for bakers so a big thanks to everyone who took part this month.
