Sourdough Panettone
Sourdough Panettone is one of my favourite Christmas treats! A rich buttery Italian bread, generously studded with dried fruit and mixed peel can easily be mistaken for cake! Using an active sourdough starter in this recipe, it does take a bit of patience to make, but the result is oh-so-good! I am not going to […]

Biscotti or Cantucci in Italy, Croquets in France, Mandelbrot in Germany – a crunchy double-baked biscuit with nuts is enjoyed all over Europe. We make our Sourdough Biscotti with Hazelnuts and Cocoa Powder and love them dunked in black coffee, but these are also great with tea or dessert wine! I have been feeding my […]
