I am so happy to be baking with the Mellow Bakers! Here we are starting on our May breads. There is always some brave person making the bread first, and you can hang back and say, hmm, that’s interesting, I see what happened there,….or if you feel like trail blazing, that’s OK too. It’s a grand way to bake. Thank you my friends out there!
A miche is a big bread – an oven hogging, flowing monster of a bread. I know the sort. I have made one of Mick of Bethesdabakers miches and they are most definitely for sharing! I made a 900 gram mini version of this formula this time as B is not keen on strong sour flavoured whole wheat breads and I would be on my own eating this one.

Nigel Slater in The Observer today has recipes for wild garlic, nettles and dandelions.
