Made using Carr's flour and invented especially for the event, the loaves had to include some type of citrus preserve. <br/> <br/> <img width="350" height="232" alt="" src="http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/Portals/0/Images-CTB/img_7756.jpg"/><br/> <br/> The winning loaf was chosen on the Friday by a panel of judges that included Annette Gibbons from Cumbria on a Plate, as well as Dan Lepard. Lepard has been described by the Independent as one of London's most inspired and inspiring breed of new young bakers...a British bread champion. Which is great considering he originates from Australia. <br/> <br/> <img alt="" src="http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/Portals/0/Images-CTB/dan-lepardimg_7789.jpg"/><br/>  <br/> The bread was sold for charity at the festival. I received the bread from the bakers, and it was fantastic to see the various different styles of bread invented for this unique event turn up. It took the judges 77 minutes to judge 7 loaves. <br/> <br/> <img width="350" height="221" alt="" src="http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/Portals/0/Images-CTB/crw_2916.jpg"/><br/> <br/> The bread ranged from a Double Malted Marmalade and Cranberry loaf produced by Munx Lakeland Bakery in Staveley, to a Marmalicious Orange and Walnut Maltwheat invented by Simon Thomas of Staff of Life in Kendal – this loaf won second prize. <br/> <br/> <img width="350" height="232" alt="" src="http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/Portals/0/Images-CTB/crw_4301.jpg"/><br/> <br/> The winner was a superb looking and tasting Marmalade and Cinnamon Tea Bread, created by Moore’s Bakery in Dalston. <br/> <br/> <img src="http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/Portals/0/Images-CTB/img_8452.jpg" alt=""/><br/> <br/> Following the publicity, this bread now outsells the baker’s previous best selling variety by a long way. <br/> <br/> <img width="350" height="232" src="http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/Portals/0/Images-CTB/img_8465.jpg" alt=""/><br/> <br/> The bakers taking part were: <br/>  <br/> Nick Stewardson - 01461 338324 Gretna Bakery, Gretna<br/> Paul Hughes -  015395 36330 Grange Bakery, Grange Over Sands<br/> Aiden Monks - 01539 822102 Munx Lakeland Bakery<br/> Simon Thomas - 01539 738606 Staff of Life, Kendal<br/> Dave Moore - 01228 710695 Moore's Bakery, Dalston<br/> Debra Travis - 017687 72257 John Bryson & Son Ltd, Keswick<br/> Lara Napton - 01229 716284 Broughton Village Bakery, Broughton-In-Furness<br/> <br/> Next year we hope to expand the competition involving more bakers from around and outside the county, it is after all the perfect complement to the Marmalade Festival.  - Martin <br/> <br/> http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/readin/newsviewsfromthekitchen/tabid/210/EntryID/249/Default.aspx http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/readin/newsviewsfromthekitchen/tabid/210/EntryID/249/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/Default.aspx?tabid=210&EntryID=249 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.artisan-food.com/DotNetNuke/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=249
