18 August 2021
A step-by-step guide to bake-at-home bread from our very own Natter Head Chef Joshua Monaghan.
This is a quick and easy recipe and you can choose flavours by using different herb combinations.
Enjoy with your favourite topping while still warm - a great comfort in lockdown. You can also cut into slices and freeze individual slices for use later.

2. Gather your utensils
