Some breads are just so physical it’s like they’ve been ripped from the landscape.
From this moraine-like material …
… comes a boulder-like loaf – the mighty Black Bean, Jalpenos and Coriander bread.
And yet, look how light the crumb is.
This is the runt of the litter (do boulders have litters?) made from left-over dough. Being an aspiring Eco-Artisan Baker and wanting to avoid adding to our landfill sites, I ate it.

Yes, but what did it taste like?
It’s not a gimmick if that’s what you are implying. It’s actually a well-balanced, well-rounded bread. The beans are fairly bland and a bit earthy which combines well with the deep background flavour of the coriander. The jalapenos are also well in the background coming through as a warm aftertaste on the roof of your mouth although, three days on, the flavour is starting to develop. Pretty nice, I’d say
