#Sally Lunn's

Bath

Short break in Bath. Wish I could say it has been without arguing, but there was a whole forgetting umbrella in a taxi temper tantrum, stubborn outburst which almost ruined the trip, - sick of there being a fight every holiday and there seems to be a lot of fights lately - and then the taxis being very late, so late we missed eating at Sally Lunn's and had to eat at the Cosy Club much later instead.

Still have some misgivings about going to see Bill Bailey at the O2 tomorrow night, but we'll see. Feel better when we're on our way home on Tuesday.

Did the Hard Hat tour of the Assembly Rooms, tea at the Jane Austen Centre and the Pump Rooms, shopped books at Waterstones. Stayed in Upper Lansdown Mews.

Visited Bath yesterday. After The Roman Baths, we had a wander around Bath to soak in some of the sites. We have the Pulteney Bridge (Georgian, one of 4 bridges across the world to have shops across full span on both sides), Bath Abbey, The Circus (Georgian - historic ring of large townhouses), Sally Lunn's Historic Eating House & Museum (Oldest house in Bath - 1483) and The Royal Crescent (Georgian - sweeping crescent of 30 houses)

Simeon and the Bath Cake-tastrophe

Dear Simeon, Local Sugar Baron, Dr Ivor Sweet, has gone missing, following local rumours that he is concocting an evil plan against the city. The Dodgy Doctor is thought to be secretly hacking into local food networks and changing their recipes to significantly increase the sugar content of all of Bath’s cakes, pastries and famous buns, in a desperate effort to increase his dwindling sales of…

Time Flys

Wow! When Karen told me we needed to start packing today I was honestly surprised. In the last 2.5 weeks we have had three amazing house sits with a liberal dose of challenges and wonderful discoveries. While we were in Chertsey we enjoyed a wonderful variety of weather which made photography a joy. The view of the Chertsey Bridge was different every time we took the dogs out for a stroll. A…

It's bread baking day at the Merriman household, and Felicity is happy to have her friend Elizabeth helping out with the tedious chore. Today they're making loaves of Sally Lunn bread, a soft and dense loaf rich with eggs and sugar, reminiscent of French brioche.

The recipe comes from Felicity's Cookbook, which I've owned for years and have used quite often. I made this bread for the very first time this week, and I was very happy with how it turned out. It's soft, flavorful, and doesn't require any kneading. As much I as I enjoyed it, I don't think it will ever be my go-to bread recipe, since it's so exceedingly rare for me to have eggs, milk, butter, and sugar in my kitchen all at the same time!

Unlike Felicity, I never learned to make bread when I was her age. When I grew up and moved out into my own place, I brought my childhood copy of Kirsten's Cookbook, and the recipe for whole wheat round bread was what got me started and helped me learn to make my own bread instead of buying it. I've been doing that ever since. I even taught my mom to make homemade bread, which had always intimidated her.

Felicity's Cookbook mentions that the origin of the name "Sally Lunn" is not known for certain. It might come from the French words "soleil-lune" which means "sun-moon", or "sol et lune" (sun and moon) due to the golden top (sun) and white interior (moon). I checked to see if this is still a mystery 30+ years after Pleasant Company published this book, and apparently it still is. The Sally Lunn Eating House in Bath, England claims that the recipe originated from a French Huguenot refugee named Solange Luyon, whose name was then Anglicized as Sally Lunn, but there's still no solid evidence of this being true either.

In the UK, Sally Lunn bread is usually made as buns, while in the American South it's a loaf made in a round or tube pan. I thought it would be cute to make it in doll-sized mini loaf pans so Felicity and Elizabeth could help.

The recipe is below the cut, with a few of my (experienced bread baker) adaptations.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup milk 1/4 cup warm water 1 package active dry yeast 6 tablespoons butter, softened 3 tablespoons sugar 2 eggs 3 cups flour 1 & 1/4 teaspoons salt Shortening or butter to grease the pans

Here are the mini loaf pans I used. Or you can use just one standard sized tube pan or loaf pan, but the minis are cuter and in my experience the bread turns out better in small loaves.

Directions:

Measure the milk in a saucepan and warm it over medium low heat. Turn off the heat.

Measure the warm water into a small bowl. Add the yeast and stir. Then stir the warm milk into the yeast and water. Always use WARM water and milk only, NOT HOT liquids. Yeast is alive and temperatures above 140F will kill the yeast.)

Measure the butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat them together with a hand mixer or whisk until they are creamy and soft.

Crack 1 egg into the mixing bowl and beat it into the butter and sugar mixture until it's well blended and creamy. Then do the same with the second egg.

Stir in about 1/3 of the yeast and milk mixture into into the butter and sugar mixture, then add the salt and 1 cup of flour.

Once these are all mixed together, do the same with the second cup of flour and another 1/3 of the yeast mixture. Then do the same with the last cup of flour and last 1/3 of the yeast mixture. Mix it all together until it's soft dough with no lumps. If it feels too dry to mix, add one or two tablespoons of milk until it's soft and mixable.

Scoop 1/3 of the batter into each of your three greased mini loaf pan. Or into the single pan.

Cover the pan(s) and let the dough rise for about an hour in a warm place. On the kitchen counter is fine. Or set it in the oven but do not turn the oven on. Don't put it in the fridge or anywhere cold.

After an hour, turn on the oven and pre-heat it to 350 degrees.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes if you're making three small loaves. Keep a close eye on them and take them out once the tops are a nice golden brown, like in my pictures. If you're making a single loaf in a single pan, it will take closer to 45 minutes to bake. Keep an eye on that as well and take it out the moment the top is golden brown.

Let the bread cool off for a few minutes. It will continue to cook on the inside as it cools, so let that happen before cutting a slice with a serrated bread knife.

journal entry

We had really heavy rains the other night, and a leak in my roof I thought was fixed...wasn't. And it dripped right down onto my charging roomba, which may never recover. The guy came today to check it out and said it will only be like $350 to patch, which is about half what I was prepared to shell out, and since I've made so much progress on paying off my debt I just...have that? In my checking account? (Getting a higher-paying job really did change my life.) Anyway he's gonna come fix it in the next few days.

Sunday is my birthday and I'm flying to England for a couple weeks with my parents and little brother. We have booked some really neat-looking places to stay -- an oceanfront apartment in the heart of Newquay, a garden apartment in Bath, rooms over a pub in Richmond. I think it's going to be a little more jam-packed activity-wise than I'd like, especially because we're doing a lot of repeats from Bath (Oxford, Stonehenge, Salisbury) because my dad hasn't seen all that. But it's been 8 years since we did all that, so it'll be nice anyway. And who am I kidding, I visit the same parts of London literally every time I visit (St. James's Park for example). AND last time we were in London there was scaffolding on Big Ben, so it will be nice for Dad to see it in all its glory.

I am looking forward to eating lots of fish and chips and lots of meringues and Sally Lunn's Bunns and that good bacon.

sandwitchx

recently a friend of mine went to Bath (UK, not just personal grooming) and it reminded me that the worst sandwich I ever encountered in my entire life was served to me in "Sally Lunn's Historic Eating House," so you know what -- I'm not ever gonna tell people to go somewhere just to mess with the underpaid workers -- but I DO want you all to know that "garden pesto" should never mean "mayonnaise with a couple green bits in." I don't fucking care that the building dates to like the 15th century. Maybe your sandwiches also sucked ass in the 15th century too.

Also Martha Jones/Tom Milligan for the rarepair! I really liked Tom! Also Martha Jones/Riley Vashtee. Idk if Martha/Mickey counts but if it does, also them!! I just want Martha to get the adoration she deserves 😍 But especially from Tom! Her (proper) doctor <3

And has someone entered Donna/Lee McAvoy yet?

Also you got Dan/Di, right? And idk if Grace/Graham counts but if it does they should be in :)

AND have you got the under the lake crew yet? Lunn/Cass and Bennett/O'Donnell? They are all so sweet and they did not deserve their story so we should show them some appreciation. (also I find it kinda hilarious how that team was basically only couples and two people trailing along. And then Doctor/Clara came and made that another couple)

Also Billy Shipton/Sally Sparrow (and Larry Nightingale/Sally Sparrow)?

(sorry, just mentally going through my favourite side characters and seeing if anyone should be shipped)

Bath! We are taking the morning train to Bath, sis’s daytrip of choice. It’s where all the Jane Austen book-people went on vacation. We will visit the Roman baths, the Fashion Museum, and possibly the Victoria Art Gallery. The Sally Lunn Eating House and Museum sounds promising--I like a Sally Lunn loaf as much as the next girl! Staying in an Air B n B instead of a hotel; each with our own bedroom which I assume we’ll be ready for after four nights in shared hotel rooms.
