'Victorian Bakers' currently on BBC Two, might give you a few tips.  The program irritated me so much that it triggered an idea that I've been mulling over for a few years. I've been baking bread since I left home and a couple of years ago went on a bread making course here. They have a massive wood fired oven. It started as a hobby by an architect and became a business: there is a lesson there! I bake every 2 weeks, using a Kenwood mixer and baking in an Aga. Flour? Mostly grown in the area between Oxford and Swindon, milled here. With their mistakes and somewhat misleading comments the people on the BBC show, who are supposed to be experienced bakers, were clearly hamming it up to make a show..... and may have motivated me into hard labour!

Dear Morgan factory - next time Mr Jenks comes a visiting shake him down on exit for any large sackfuls of frame offcuts. You've been rumbled Peter!

Or a Morgan Bakery, making traditional artisan bread in an oven fueled by the off-cuts from the factory?

Sorry to hear BBC's offering was so irritating (haven't watched it myself), but at least it has spurred you into action!

When we used to live right out in the boondocks in the SW of France  (nearest bakery was 10 km away) we had a Rayburn & used to bake our own bread every day except in the height of summer (when the Rayburn wasn't lit). Our neighbour was an organic farmer; we allowed him to cut silage on our 10 acres of pasture & in return he used to give me (amongst other things) home ground whole wheat organic flour. We generally made soda bread (well, I am half Irish, and i love the stuff). Yum.

My brothers a Master Baker.....at least I think that's how he described himself. 🙄
He took over the local bakery in his village up in Scotland just to help out during holidays and now works there full time. The downside is 4am starts....some of his bread goes off to Glasgow hotels.
