Heritage Bakehouse is pleased to announce a Silver and Bronze award with two sourdough recipes. The silver award for the nuttimalt has a special story. My parents used to buy bread to sell from a bakery in Bournemouth. One of their loaves was a nuttimalt. I have recreated it from memory. A wonderful loaf that I have never found anywhere since. Ernie Tanner was an exceptional baker of his time. Sadly no longer with us. Determined to do him justice, I practiced the loaf many times until I got close to the taste of the loaf I remembered. Whilst his loaf was a yeasted loaf, and the slightly lighter crumb than mime, it was the taste I was after. A sweet chewy crumb, with malted flakes, and of course nuttimalt.
