Product information
"I make bread at least once a week, and have used a number of flours in my time, but this is the one I always come back to. It’s not a huge effort to make bread, but it’s nonetheless an investment of time and hope, so why risk disappointment? It’s such a lovely flour to work with, and gives a flavour and crumb that ensures every loaf to come out of your kitchen is sheer reward – which is just as it should be!"- Nigella Lawson

Preparation time
1 Hour + proving
Baking time 45-50 mins
Makes 2 babkas
Ingredients
500g Organic strong white flour
50g +60g Soft unsalted butter
7g Sachet fast action dried yeast
7g Fine sea salt
270ml Warm milk
50g +85g Light brown soft sugar
1 Medium egg +1 beaten egg to glaze
100g Dark chocolate
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
50g+20g Banana chips, lightly crushed
You will also need
Damp tea towel, 2 x 2lb loaf tins, pastry brush and rolling pin
Recipe tip
To make individual babka swirls, cut the rolled log of dough into 5cm sections and transfer cut side up to an oiled muffin tin and leave to rise until doubled in size. Add the egg wash and banana chips, and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp.
Method
1. Whisk 50g butter, and milk in a jug until the butter has melted. Tip the flour, yeast and 50g sugar into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour in the milk mixture along with 1 whisked egg. Knead briefly in the bowl to bring the dough together, then tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until very smooth and shiny, about 10 mins. Alternatively use a stand mixer with a dough hook and knead for 6-8 mins. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea towel, and leave to rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
2. Put 60g butter, 85g sugar, the dark chocolate and cocoa into a small pan, and warm gently until melted and smooth. Leave to cool and thicken. Line 2 x 2lb loaf tins with a strip of parchment.
3. Knock the dough back into the bowl, then roll out on the floured worksurface to a 50cm x 40cm rectangle, about 1cm thick. Spread the filling over the dough, smoothing it out to the edges. Scatter over 50g banana chips. Roll up the dough to form a log.
4. Cut the log in half, so you have two shorter lengths, then cut these in half up the middle to create four strips with the layers of filling exposed. Twist two pieces of dough together so you have two separate spirals. Tuck in the edges of both spirals and transfer to the loaf tins. Cover (as before) and leave to rise again for 45 mins.
5. Heat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Brush each babka with the egg wash, then scatter over 20g banana chips. Bake for 45-50 mins, until golden, well risen and crisp. Cool for 15 mins in the tins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Great flour, good quality!
This flour is lovely and really good quality. I use it daily to make my own sourdough bread.
Recommend flour
I use this to make white loaves every week in my breadmaker and it is excellent for flavour and texture. Being a 1kg bag also means I do not have to weigh it out the second week (as each loaf if 500g).
Lovely bread flour
I'm a beginner at baking bread. Someone recommended this flour to me, and since I know very little about what to use, I went with their advice. It produces really tasty bread. So far, I've managed a basic loaf and Dutch oven bread. I think I'll give tiger bread a whirl next.
one kilogram bag
I note this is 1 kilogram instead of 1.5 as is typical for bags of flour. It is obviously dearer than non-organic flour. It performs well as a flour and if organic is what is wanted then this seems ok to me, at least I had no problems with it making bread and making shortcrust pastry (I don't use much flour so prefer to just get one bag).
Favourite bread flour
We use a bread maker regularly and this flour consistently gives the best results for milk bread and bog standard white bread - delicious!
A bit pricey but …..
Having read the reviews for cheaper brands glad I chose this for my first try at bread making was very pleased with taste and rise.
