A new bread recipe

Not so long ago, we added Hawarden Estate Farm Shop to our list of independent retail stockists and I did the initial delivery myself.

Whilst unpacking their first order, I fell into conversation with a delightful couple, Mr and Mrs Welch, who made the very first Netherton purchase at the shop.

They chose a 2lb loaf tin and we had a wonderful discussion on home made bread and they promised to send me one of their favourite recipes.

And here it is, courtesy of Town Mill in Lyme Regis - and this has to be the easiest loaf you will ever make.
