As my regular customers know, ‘Miracle Bread’ has become my (award-winning) signature loaf. I will continue to bake the original recipe when asked but, from Saturday 21 January, I will bake my new recipe as standard.
What’s the difference?
There is only one difference between my original and new recipes and this is that, where the original calls for flax seed oil, my new recipe contains ‘R-Oil’ from the Cotswolds instead. This has a delicious flavour that, in my opinion, knocks the spots off the flax oil in my original recipe and actually improves the taste of the loaf.
Why have I changed my recipe?
Some time ago the company that produced the flax-seed oil I used regularly went out of business. Since then I’ve tried a number of different brands, all of which have been okay but ridiculously expensive. I haven’t reflected this in the price I charge for ‘Miracles’ but I need to do so.
New recipe (with ‘R-Oil’) £2.00 for a 400g loaf. (No price change.)
Original recipe (with flax-seed oil) £2.35 for a 400g loaf. (35p increase.)

Stollen currently available on Saturdays (will also be at The Celyn Farmers’ Market at the Grosvenor Garden this Friday, 9 December).Comes as standard with a roll of marzipan in the middle. Please order in advance if you want one without marzipan. £3.40 with marzipan, £3 without.
Nut roasts for the market at The Grosvenor Garden Centre this Friday, 9 December, will be chestnuts and mushrooms with cranberries. Standard size is easily big enough for a main course for two or three people. Please let me know if you’d like a ‘double-size’ roast (for four to six main course portions). £3.90 for the standard size, £7.30 for the large (or for two standard sized roasts).
Chelsea buns. Well, these flew at the last market at The Grosvenor Garden Centre so it’d be a good idea to order in advance to be sure of getting some… £1.20 each.
Just a quick line to thank all of my customers at Abbey Leys Farmers’ Market yesterday, for your amazing patience. Some of you must have been frustrated to see items selling out before you reached the front of the mother of all queues! Please don’t forget that you can always order in advance by telephoning me on 01244 300761 or sending an e-mail to jane.artisanbread@gmail.com
I can’t really remember why Chelsea Buns ‘fell off’ my regular baking list, as they’ve always been popular. They’re now available every Thursday and, time-permitting, I’ll be taking them to the markets I attend. Lovely (if indulgent) when thickly spread with butter! Currently £1 each but unfortunately the price will have to increase £1.20 in December.
GOOD NEWS for customers who collect bread from my home on Thursdays…
On certain Thursdays from 17 November, you will be able to collect EITHER from my home OR from the new Mini Market at Mill View Primary School.
I am planning to take a range of items to each Mini Market. Shop on the day or order in advance. To order in advance please ring 01244 300761 or e-mail jane.artisanbread@gmail.com
Currently, Mill View has only released dates for November and December. However, if the event is popular, we will resume after the Christmas holiday, when other producers will no doubt want to join us.
There will still be a full market in the school hall on Saturday 17 December 2011.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

As you’ll probably know if you shopped at this month’s market, the date / format of the market will be changing. As soon as a decision has been made, I will post a notice on my website. Meanwhile, customers can collect orders from my home on any baking day or buy at the other markets I attend.
