1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,600
In Britain, we spend more than £3.5 billion
2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:06,840
on bread every year.
3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,560
I come from a family of bakers,
4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,200
but I still want to encourage you to bake your own bread at home.
5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,040
The smell that is coming off that is... is fantastic.
6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,080
I think every home is improved by it, so I want to show you that
7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,200
making bread in your own kitchen is much more satisfying than buying
8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,000
a loaf...
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,200
because it's a feast for your family, and for your senses.
10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,560
'The smell of it, the feel of it...'
11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,680
Beautiful stuff.
12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,720
'..the look of it...'
13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,560
Not like the ones you buy in the shops.
14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,480
It's more special than that.
15
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,880
'..the sound of it...'
16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,720
This is a beautiful loaf.
17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,120
'..and the taste of it.'
18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Wow!
19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,600
It just tastes so good.
20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,720
You've got to try it.
21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,040
I want to show you that making bread is simple, really.
22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,160
You mix, knead,
23
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,680
prove, shape,
24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,480
prove again,
25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,240
then finally, bake.
26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Some loaves I show you may seem complicated,
27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,040
but with time and focus, you can grasp them all,
28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,400
as I will guide you every step of the way.
29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,000
Once you've mastered them, I'm going
30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,560
to reveal how bread can be much more than just the loaf.
31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,640
It can be a meal in itself.
32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,440
One of the only things that will keep my mouth shut.
33
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
So, there's no excuses - get baking.
34
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,080
Soda bread. It's the most simple bread to make in the world.
35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,440
You do not have to be scared.
36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,040
My son could do this, and he's 11 years old.
37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,200
In this programme, it's all about speed.
38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,200
You can do the whole lot in 45 minutes.
39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,720
Breads traditionally use yeast to make them rise,
40
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,880
which takes time, but I'm going to bake breads that use
41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,000
bicarbonate of soda as a much faster rising agent.
42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,000
For breakfast, a twist on a breakfast classic -
43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,120
eggs Benedict, served on a crumpet with a home-made hollandaise sauce.
44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,960
For lunch, a smoked salmon pate with its own stout soda bread.
45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,800
For dinner, a hearty British stew, with a cheesy scone topping.
46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,520
But to begin, a traditional, crusty Irish loaf.
47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,280
Now let's get cracking.
48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,200
The dried mixture is 250 grams of plain white flour, and an equal
49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,800
amount of plain wholemeal flour, a teaspoon of salt, then the bicarb.
50
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Bicarbonate of soda is the alkaline in the mix.
51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,480
This for the rising agent. At the moment, it's bone dry.
52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Add acid to that, it'll start to activate and produce carbon dioxide.
53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,640
That is the leavening agent in this bread.
54
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,800
Just give it a little mix at the moment.
55
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,920
The reason being, when we add the buttermilk, which is
56
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,680
the next thing to go in, it will instantly start working.
57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,160
For 500 grams of flour, you need 420 ml of buttermilk.
58
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,120
So, the ingredients are very basic. This goes straight in.
59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,840
If you haven't got buttermilk, you can use sour cream if you like.
60
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,480
The whole thing in there is beginning to buzz.
61
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,160
It'll start to bubble now, the reaction is already started.
62
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,840
So, you've got to be quite quick.
63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600
Time to get your hands in and mix.
64
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,720
It's a lovely soft mixture.
65
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,920
I want to incorporate all the flour on the edge of the bowl.
66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,200
If you want to add cheese to this, you can.
67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,600
If you want to add bacon to this, you can.
68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,440
You can add a lot of ingredients to this.
69
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,160
If you don't want to use wholemeal flour, you can use all white.
70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,480
You just end up with a white soda bread.
71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,400
If you look at that now, it's just been brought together.
72
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,480
There's no real structure to it, and you can see it crumbles
73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,760
and breaks very easily.
74
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,800
No need to knead. Just bring the mixture together and shape.
75
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,600
All you have to do is gently flip and turn.
76
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,640
You don't want to start kneading, because the last thing you want
77
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,160
to do on a soda bread is bite into it and have a bit more of a chew.
78
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,320
You want it to crumble and melt in your mouth.
79
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,280
Lift it up, and just gently massage.
80
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:32,400
You want to add a little bit of flour to the bench,
81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,200
just to stop it from sticking too much.
82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,440
I like to use a little bit of wholemeal flour as well, to dust.
83
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,800
I think it adds something to it.
84
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,160
Because that little bit of dusting on the top
85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,400
when you bake it off caramelises and forms a very light brown
86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,600
crust on the top, which gives it a little bit of bite, as well.
87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120
So, tuck it underneath.
88
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Push your hands together underneath, to give it a little
89
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,200
bit of tension on the top,
90
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,040
and turn it in the flour.
91
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Get a little bit of flour, pat it on the top,
92
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,320
that'll go straight onto a baking tray.
93
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,800
There's no need to prove, just give a traditional finishing touch.
94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240
The last thing you do is let the devil out.
95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,400
Letting the devil out is a very old term.
96
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,920
When people were making soda bread, they used to rise
97
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,480
and they thought it was the devil,
98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,240
and so they needed to release it, because it was the devil's work.
99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,840
It was witchcraft that these breads used to rise.
100
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:28,600
But what this cross really does is ensure an even bake.
101
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,360
Keep it quite tight together.
102
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,480
As this thing grows, it will bloom slightly, and open up like a flower.
103
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Get a little bit of the wholemeal flour on the top,
104
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,160
the rest of the work is done by the oven.
105
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,720
The final stage is baking.
106
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,280
Bake at 200 degrees for 30 minutes.
107
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,800
The heat will help the air bubbles formed by the bicarb
108
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,960
and buttermilk make the loaf rise.
109
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,200
That is a great soda bread.
110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,360
I'm carving slices out of this, but look at the crumb on that.
111
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,600
I mean, this is a very beautiful,
112
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640
crispy loaf.
113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,920
I'm going to transform this quick,
114
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,440
crusty loaf into a fast lunchtime meal.
115
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:21,600
Very much a peasant food, which is me all over, really.
116
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,480
Begin by finely slicing some spring onions,
117
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,360
add a chunk of cheddar.
118
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,760
Roughly grate this.
119
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,560
That is a lot of cheese.
120
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,360
Warm up some milk, and whisk in some flour to thicken.
121
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,120
Now I'm going to pop the cheese in here.
122
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,520
Add breadcrumbs, and a teaspoon of mustard powder.
123
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,320
A little bit of kick to it as well.
124
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,760
And finally, I've got a good glug of stout.
125
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,680
Once the rarebit has cooled slightly, add two egg yolks for
126
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,200
richness, half the spring onions, and give it all one good final mix.
127
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,040
Now it's ready to go on top of the toast.
128
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,520
Pop under the grill until bubbling and golden.
129
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080
Look at them. Proper cheese on toast.
130
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Ahhh.
131
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,960
There you have it. A quick loaf becomes a quick meal.
132
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,320
Soda bread is just one of the many loaves that evolved during
133
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,560
the 19th century, because of the introduction of bicarb.
134
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,600
To find out more, I'm meeting food historian Ivan Day in south London.
135
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,360
He's going to tell me how the
136
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,040
Northern teatime bread, parkin, evolved from this...
137
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,000
to this.
138
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,480
How long has that been around?
139
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,280
Because I mean, looking at that,
140
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,960
that does look like it's prehistoric, to be honest.
141
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Well, it really is a very ancient dish.
142
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,640
- It was originally called tharth cake...
- Yeah.
143
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,720
And they only had this on special occasions.
144
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,440
So, you think this looks a bit primitive and prehistoric,
145
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,400
but this is holiday bread.
146
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,760
This is what you have on a special occasion.
147
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Most people didn't have ovens.
148
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,480
Yeah, of course.
149
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200
So all of our breads in the north of England tended to be
150
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,480
- what were really like chapattis.
- Yeah.
151
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,200
To make this historic parkin recipe,
152
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,160
Ivan mixes the oats with golden syrup, treacle, melted butter
153
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,240
and powdered ginger, and then forms it into a large griddle bread.
154
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,920
- I'm going to put it onto this.
- Yup.
155
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,720
This is called a thivel.
156
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,400
That is more or less how the very earliest sort of tharth cake or
157
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,080
- parkin was made.
- Yup.
158
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,960
We've now got to get it off there, so we have another tool,
159
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,280
which is called a spurtle.
160
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,680
So, you've got your thivel, your spurtle...
161
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,160
So, it's a pizza wheel and a spatula!
162
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,240
The bread is cooked on a griddle for about ten minutes on each side.
163
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:15,360
Once you get this crisp on the outside, and soft and sticky on
164
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,480
the inside, and the thing you would drink with it is not tea, but ale.
165
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,920
That's delicious, isn't it? I'd have that any day of the week.
166
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600
And that's how it stayed for centuries.
167
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,080
But in this cookery book,
168
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,160
hand-written in the 1830s by Yorkshire woman Mrs Morton,
169
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,640
we discover the revolutionary baking ingredient that changed parkin for ever.
170
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Bicarbonate of soda.
171
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,000
This sort of recipe actually makes the flat half-baked parkin
172
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,840
extinct within a few decades.
173
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240
So, we're actually going to make that one now.
174
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,920
One of the first, certainly the earliest parkins.
175
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,640
We're mixing the oats, treacle and butter together.
176
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,240
And what else goes in there?
177
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,680
Well, we've got to put ginger in.
178
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,360
So this is, you can see I'm being very, very generous with that.
179
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,760
Oh yeah, aren't you just.
180
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,080
- Shall we put the eggs in while you're here?
- Go ahead.
181
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,200
We've got the rising agent going in now.
182
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,600
- Just one spoonful, OK?
- Yup.
183
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,120
Now, don't stir it in just yet,
184
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,760
because there is a final ingredient which was used - vinegar.
185
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,160
In the original recipe, it was gooseberry vinegar,
186
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160
but we're using some white wine vinegar here.
187
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,520
- Of course, this is acid...
- Yes.
188
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,760
..and it will react with the carbonate to produce a fizz.
189
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,080
There's your rising agent.
190
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,000
Exactly, so if you stir that in.
191
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,040
The treacle is also quite acid, and that'll react with the bicarbonate.
192
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,480
The mixture is left to rise for 24 hours,
193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,880
then poured into a lined tin and baked for about an hour.
194
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,600
It's incredible to think actually that that started life as that.
195
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:57,320
That hard biscuit has ended up as quite a light, aerated cake.
196
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,200
Bicarbonate is the thing that did the trick.
197
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,840
But this is not the only afternoon treat given a lift by this
198
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,440
miracle ingredient.
199
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,560
By combining yeast with bicarb, you can create some really interesting
200
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,200
effects, like in the quintessential teatime favourite, crumpets.
201
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,040
My nan used to make them when I was a little kid.
202
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Big, big treat for us. You've got yeast and bicarbonate of soda.
203
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,000
So, actually, the two of them
204
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,280
work in tandem to create something that is unique.
205
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,080
Start by mixing equal amounts of plain and strong flour.
206
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,080
The strong flour extra gluten helps give the crumpets structure,
207
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,880
whilst the plain flour keeps the texture soft and light.
208
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,760
Now, we're actually going to add our yeast at this stage.
209
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,360
This is fast action yeast.
210
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,280
What it does is, it's got a vitamin C in it,
211
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,200
it's got ascorbic acid in there, and it activates the yeast
212
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,320
and gets it up to speed as quickly as possible.
213
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,720
And it sort of pushes it along, when it's thinking,
214
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,960
"Do you know what, I've had enough feeding today,
215
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,400
"that's enough for me," the vitamin C is, like,
216
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,320
"Go on then, go on, go on. Eat more, eat more!"
217
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,080
Dissolve a teaspoon of caster sugar into lukewarm milk,
218
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,000
now beat that into the mixture to create a batter,
219
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,960
similar to that used to make pancakes.
220
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,080
And then you cover it, and leave it for at least 20 minutes,
221
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,440
to become active.
222
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,920
That is the yeast that has grown, and then it's fallen back,
223
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,880
and it forms little crease marks.
224
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,000
When I was a little boy at my nan's,
225
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,040
it was the smell of this that I distinctly remember.
226
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,000
But then she used to work her magic.
227
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
And the magic ingredient is the bicarb.
228
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,680
Going to add a little bit of water to this.
229
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Add this liquid slowly to the dough,
230
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,840
turning it back into a smooth batter.
231
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,360
See it bubbling and reacting already.
232
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,000
And all of the sudden, the mixture goes from quite a malleable
233
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,520
piece of dough to a very batter-ish, cake looking mixture.
234
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Victorian bakers had the original idea of adding this second raising
235
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,520
agent, which eventually creates the crumpet's characteristic craters.
236
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,800
And the bicarb'll start working now.
237
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,720
It'll start activating with the acid of the yeast.
238
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,800
And that'll start creating bubbles.
239
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Now, you need about 20 minutes at that stage, which is
240
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,880
almost batter consistency, but a little bit more glutinous.
241
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,720
You see the way it hangs.
242
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,760
Turn it round again slowly, start breaking it down.
243
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,840
And then beat it in.
244
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Perfect.
245
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Leave for about 20 minutes until it's full of air and bubbling.
246
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Now it's ready to pour into some greased baking
247
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,920
rings on top of a hot griddle.
248
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Get some into each one of the rings.
249
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,160
Fill the rings only half way up,
250
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,800
because the batter will expand as it cooks.
251
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,880
The mixture can't be too thick, because you won't get the bubbles.
252
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,400
The mixture can't be too thin,
253
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,760
cos it'll just run out the bottom of the mould.
254
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,080
You've got to get it just right.
255
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,120
This is my favourite bit.
256
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,840
Watching the bubbles appear and burst, leaving little holes
257
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,200
which will give the crumpets their distinctive, dimpled look.
258
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,960
We need to leave them to cook for about three to five minutes.
259
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,440
I won't move them until the bubbles are beginning to set.
260
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,720
And when they're ready, flip them over.
261
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,000
All that's going to happen now, it's going to cook the bubbles
262
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,280
underneath, and they'll be ready to eat.
263
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,480
Slather a bit of butter and away you go.
264
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:18,000
That takes me back to when I was six years old. Fantastic.
265
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,160
For this and other recipes, you can
266
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,080
visit the BBC food website.
267
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,800
Delicious as they are with melting butter, I think
268
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,880
these are great at the heart of a breakfast with a twist.
269
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,800
The perfect eggs Benedict.
270
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,240
Swapping the usual English muffin for a crumpet.
271
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,800
Here's my recipe for a delicious homemade hollandaise sauce.
272
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,320
To make it, place three egg yolks
273
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,240
and a splash of water into a food processor.
274
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,440
I'm just going to add the juice of half a lemon, straight in.
275
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,120
And then, begin to mix it, and emulsify the mixture together.
276
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,040
You can just see it begin to lighten up a bit now, it's blending in well.
277
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,200
Keep it running while you add the melted butter.
278
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,320
The secret to a good hollandaise is putting in a little
279
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,560
bit of butter at a time.
280
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,600
That looks pretty good.
281
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Once all the butter has been incorporated,
282
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240
season with a little white pepper and salt.
283
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840
Mix that together.
284
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Beautiful mixture.
285
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,320
I know some guys who really know the value of a hearty breakfast -
286
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,640
they work at Smithfield's meat market in East London.
287
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,880
We're doing breakfast down in the bottom in about half an hour.
288
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,080
- The cafe, yeah.
- Are you in there?
289
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,200
I'm going to be in there doing crumpets with a difference.
290
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,400
Many of the butchers and market porters have been up since 2.00am.
291
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,960
Where better to road test my breakfast.
292
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,160
I'm fairly confident that they're going to enjoy this,
293
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:30,400
because it's my sort of spin on a classic dish.
294
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:37,040
That, as a breakfast, you've got your crumpet,
295
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,280
your poached egg, a little bit of hollandaise, and crispy bacon.
296
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,000
I just hope they like it.
297
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,040
I think Mary could do a better job on that bacon.
298
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,680
It seems to be going down OK.
299
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,120
It was a lovely breakfast. Really enjoyed it, thank you.
300
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:03,560
It was lovely stuff.
301
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,440
Delicious. Very nice. Best eggs Benedict I've had.
302
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,200
As the baguette is with France, the bloomer with Blighty and the rye
303
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,960
with Germany, so is soda bread most closely associated with Ireland.
304
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,560
With that in mind,
305
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,840
my next bread celebrates two of their other great exports -
306
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,640
stout and salmon.
307
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,920
Stout soda bread is a particular favourite.
308
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,640
It's the use of the stout in the mix that gives this a very
309
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,920
pungent flavour.
310
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,120
Measure out the wholemeal and plain flour.
311
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,320
I'm not using the strong stuff, because the gluten will fight
312
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,320
with the bicarb of soda, which is the rising agent.
313
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,880
Add the salt, bicarbonate, brown sugar,
314
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,120
buttermilk and the all important stout,
315
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:08,000
which will give the loaf a toasted nutty and faintly caramel flavour.
316
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,560
I've gathered up all these ingredients in the bowl,
317
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,880
so I've got a nice soft, mixture there.
318
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,480
I'm not going to knead this, I'm literally just going to fold
319
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,920
it a couple times, pop it in tin, job done.
320
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,440
Wholemeal flour is in the mix,
321
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,720
so I'm going to use wholemeal flour just to dust the table with.
322
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,040
It's important to shape all soda breads very gently.
323
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,280
And I don't want to do any more than that.
324
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,640
I'm happy with that now.
325
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,400
Now, if you put this in a tin,
326
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,280
there's only one way it can rise, and that's actually straight up.
327
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,240
A splash of olive oil will stop the dough sticking to the tin.
328
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,840
Squeeze it in there, flatten it down a bit,
329
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,440
leave it to rest for ten minutes.
330
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,320
There's no rush.
331
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,520
While that's in the oven, I'm making a simple
332
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,880
but delicious smoked salmon pate.
333
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Just tip all that into the blitzer itself.
334
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,120
Add creme fraiche.
335
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,480
Add the cream cheese.
336
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,200
If you want something very quick to impress your friends,
337
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,520
don't go and buy.
338
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,840
Just make it. It's very, very simple.
339
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,560
Now a bit of zing.
340
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,560
The zest and juice of a lemon, and a bit of horseradish.
341
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Adds that little bit of kick to it, a little bit of heat.
342
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,920
Some dill.
343
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,360
Just roughly chop it,
344
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,040
most of it will get blitzed in the mixer anyway.
345
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,160
And that's it.
346
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,040
Try and keep it rough - you don't want it too smooth.
347
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,880
Slather this stuff over.
348
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,080
Delicious. I'm going to have a bite of this one.
349
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,320
Mmm, I'd have that any day.
350
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,320
And any time of the day.
351
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,080
It's delicious.
352
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,400
I'm after a key ingredient for a rich
353
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,000
and hearty dish I want to show you.
354
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,560
- Hello.
- Hi!
355
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,560
After some cheddar. What have you got?
356
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,520
The Godminster cheddar, really creamy.
357
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,040
'I've made different types of soda bread for breakfast,
358
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,960
'lunch and afternoon tea, but now I'm making one for dinner.
359
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,280
'as the crowning glory of a classic British casserole.'
360
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:28,120
This cobbler is a fuss free, one pot meal.
361
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:32,360
A hearty stew with a cheese and rosemary scone crust.
362
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,800
This is delicious, especially on those cold winter nights.
363
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,040
Keep the vegetables quite chunky,
364
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,480
so they retain their shape during the long, slow cook.
365
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,640
And over here, I've got some stewing steak.
366
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,880
Coat it in seasoned flour and fry until brown.
367
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Put the meat to one side
368
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,160
while you sweat the vegetables in those lovely juices.
369
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,520
I'm just going to add a good squirt of puree to this.
370
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,960
It's important that you cook this out,
371
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,560
because otherwise it remains quite bitter.
372
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,520
Add a good slosh of red wine, which deglazes the pan
373
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,320
and gets all those lovely meaty bits off the base.
374
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,000
Now you need to put the stock in.
375
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,640
A bit of good beef stock here.
376
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,840
Pop a bay leaf in there, just turn the heat down to a simmer.
377
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Just to release all those juices, the vegetables will begin to
378
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,960
break down, and we'll have the perfect stew.
379
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,840
I'd say about an hour and a half.
380
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,840
And leave it alone. Don't touch it.
381
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Now I'm going to make the cobbles -
382
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,920
the cobbler bits for the dish -
383
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,720
which is basically a cheese scone.
384
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,160
I'm using malt flour, wholemeal flour and white flour,
385
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,720
all self-raising flours.
386
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,240
Now the beauty of using self-raising flour is that you don't have
387
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,680
to bother with the rising agent, it's already in there.
388
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,360
Most people do have self-raising flour.
389
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:01,960
If you've only got plain flour, think of 15 grams
390
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,400
of baking powder per kilo of flour, will give you self-raising flour.
391
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:13,680
I'm just going to add a little pinch of salt to that as well.
392
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,160
And I've got some rosemary in here.
393
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,800
Fresh rosemary's fantastic in this, it really is.
394
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,640
It's got such a pungent flavour.
395
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,760
Married up with a very strong mature cheddar cheese, it's gorgeous.
396
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,920
Just chop it up roughly, that'll do.
397
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,080
That goes straight into the mix as well.
398
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,640
Now I'm going to add some grated cheddar to this, a very strong one.
399
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,880
A good, mature cheddar.
400
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,240
There you go. About 150 grams of that goes in.
401
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,040
Quite a lot, you think.
402
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,640
Going to hold some of this back, to put on the top
403
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,040
and that'll just melt into the scone, as well.
404
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,320
So, just blend all the ingredients together, so it goes into the flour.
405
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,400
The last ingredient to go in there is your full fat milk.
406
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,720
This gives a little added richness to the scones.
407
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,120
Stir that round.
408
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,040
There are different schools of thought on how to mix the ingredients.
409
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,000
Some say with a flat-bladed knife, others say a mixer.
410
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,720
Me? I just get my hands in.
411
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,480
I've been asked a few times about the difference between a "scoan"
412
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,960
and a "scohn". There's no such thing as a "scohn". It's called a "scoan".
413
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,800
End of conversation.
414
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,320
In fact, the name scone is said to derive from the Dutch
415
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,040
word for fine white bread - schoonbrood.
416
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,000
Give it a little bit of a working, but not too much.
417
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,720
As with all other soda breads I've made,
418
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,600
I'm just lightly bringing the dough together.
419
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,640
The worst thing you can do is overwork it,
420
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,040
which would make the scones hard and chewy.
421
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,040
When I cut my scones, if you cut it with the straight side,
422
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,640
they're, like, really posh scones.
423
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,600
If you cut it with that side, that's, like, common as muck.
424
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,360
I used to have scones like that.
425
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,160
And now I have them like that.
426
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,480
The secret when making a scone, whether it's savoury or sweet,
427
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,840
is actually to have a bit of height to them.
428
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,800
Don't be scared. Put your cutter in, cut right through.
429
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,360
And again.
430
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,680
And again. And again.
431
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,720
Just take your scones out, pop them to the side for now.
432
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,000
To give the scones a golden glaze,
433
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,520
brush the tops with a little egg wash.
434
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,200
Try not to get it too much down the sides, because it just
435
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,160
restricts its growth, when you brush the top, cause when you bake it,
436
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,240
or indeed stew it which is what's going to happen to these,
437
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,800
it actually acts like a glue and prevents them from growing too much.
438
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,760
These scones can be made on their own.
439
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,320
Just bake them for fifteen minutes for a light texture
440
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,440
and a cheesy crust.
441
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,480
But these raw scones are going into a cobbler,
442
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,040
and they'll soak up all those meaty juices.
443
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,280
Perfect.
444
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,760
Now what I'm going to do is just lay these scones on the top,
445
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,480
like so, get some of this cheese,
446
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,920
laying the cheese onto the top.
447
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Again, this is going to add a little bit of crust to it, as well.
448
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,480
That blends really well with the rosemary inside the scone.
449
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,680
You've got plenty of cheese in there, as well.
450
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,800
This goes into the oven and that'll crisp up the scones on the top
451
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,040
and bake the scones, as well.
452
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,000
I've invited a couple of the guys I met at Smithfield market to
453
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,800
pop by and test my hearty beef cobbler.
454
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,920
Here you are, guys. This is a hearty meal for you.
455
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,560
It's basically a beef cobbler, with cheese scones in it.
456
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,360
I think you'll enjoy this, guys.
457
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:09,360
Tuck in, and tell me what you think.
458
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Yeah, that's good.
459
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,560
Mmm, I've got a recipe for Carmen.
460
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,760
And that crispiness on the top from that cheese works really well
461
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,000
with it.
462
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,160
I think with the meat and the sauce...
463
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,440
It's really good.
464
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
It's tasty, isn't it?
465
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,160
It's absolutely delicious.
466
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,840
You can have some more if you want some.
467
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,760
- I'll have a bit more.
- Yeah, please.
468
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,680
I've showed you the quickest loaves to bake, not by using yeast
469
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,960
but by using bicarbonate of soda as the main rising agent.
470
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,920
'I hope I've inspired you to turn your hand to baking soda
471
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,600
'breads, for breakfast...'
472
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,320
Best eggs Benedict I've had.
473
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,720
'..lunch...'
474
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,200
I'd have that any day.
475
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,840
'..and dinner.'
476
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,760
Next time, I'm going to tackle enriched breads.
477
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:07,160
'I'll show you how to master British lardy cake.'
478
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,600
That's pretty good.
479
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,280
'An Italian loaf perfect for any special occasion.'
480
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,640
Absolutely delicious.
481
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,680
'Danish pastries with a savoury twist,
482
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,440
'and a brioche crown stuffed with the flavours of the Med.'
483
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,240
- To baking bread.
- To baking bread.
484
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,960
