All roads lead to Bethesda as the Druids used to say. And so it was that Rick and Maggie Coldman – Mair’s Bakehouse – came to lunch en route from Hamburg to Cwmduad bearing a big bag of goodies from German bakeries. The pastries got scoffed for breakfast before the camera came out but look at these:
There followed a serious tasting:
They were all pretty good – we particularly like the sprouted grain loaf in the panibois (even if it did contain a bit of yeast – spit, spit), but I thought my pugliese, danish peasant bread and simple danish rye held up pretty well.
Be seeing Rick again next weekend at Trefriw
