Welcome to our Bakery Blog, for the full Hen Corner site, see here.
Have you seen that our new book Living the Good Life in the City: A journey to self-sufficiency is now available to pre-order?
Subscribers of the Hen Corner Blog will have read all about out exciting new bread course
Introduction to Scandinavian Baking and, whilst some previous course guests have booked in rather quickly, we still have a few spaces for Tuesday 27th June if you fancy trying your hand at the recipes below:
- Solbullar – Sun Buns – Almost a baked doughnut, filled with vanilla custard, brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar
- Kardemummabullar – Cardamom Knots – Soft, sweet and subtly spiced
- Grotbrod – Oat Porridge Loaf – My new favourite for breakfast toast
- Froet Rugbrod – Seeded Rye Loaf – A classic for open sandwiches ‘pass the gravlax…’
- Knackebrod – Sourdough Rye Crispbread – Just like those posh ones in the delis!
Summer Break
We are baking as usual over the next couple of weeks, 19th & 26th May, then we are having a break before a series of exciting events where we are promoting my new book Living the Good Life in the City: A journey to self-sufficiency.
We usually have a break over the summer and we ask you to forgive us that this year will be a slightly longer break as we take the chickens on tour to RHS Hampton Court and Tatton Park for their Garden Festival and Flower Show.
So click on your favourite bakes and fill your freezer!

Did you know that you can order your bakes weeks in advance? Have a look around the site and plan your next basket of bread!
If you haven't ordered before, our whole range can be viewed by collection (e.g. White Bread, Blended Wheats, Sourdough, Special Grains, etc.), and can be ordered directly from our online store.
Don't forget that all our loaves are made with ethically sourced ingredients and everything can be frozen if you don't think you'll eat it all straight away.
Thanks and we hope to see you soon,
