Hi folks,

Ingredients for the last session - 26th July.

We’re making a Swedish tea ring and paratha/pasties, so:

Sultanas

Sugar

Cinnamon

Flaked almonds

Icing sugar

You will need to prepare a pasty filling - my favourite is curried lentils and potato hash:

But these combinations are also good:

Potatoes/onion/mushroom/red kidney bean

Potatoes/broccoli/onion/peas/celery/carrot

(Basically, anything cooked ‘en croute’ enhances the filling every time.)

Plus the usual flour/yeast/olive oil/salt

Here are some of the ciabattas:
