Islay Malt Loaf
For our Real Bread Week bake, we were on holiday on Islay in the inner Hebrides. There is an old rayburn there, so I experimented with an Islay Malt Loaf, a fruity, sticky, moist sourdough loaf. It worked out well - and was popular with visiting friends with a glass of local malt whisky.
We used fresh flours from Golspie Mill, the only mill I could find milling stoneground Scottish grain in Scotland.
We will have another run at it, in our home oven, and then maybe try it on the local market.
Little Eye is a specialist micro-bakery making sourdough bread by hand from our 30 year old traditional leavens. We use good quality ingredients, with no additives or animal products. We offer hands-on sourdough baking courses for home bakers, serving the North West and Wales.
BREAD MAKING COURSES 2026
Our next date is February 15th 2026 - booking now open.
As usual, we will be at the St Bridget's Centre, making four different sourdough loaves, plus a pot of starter, to take home.
Our informal, hands on classes last from 1-6pm, with a tea break for a freshly baked fruit loaf and soft drinks.
Come and join our baking session, learning new skills for a relaxing (and busy!) afternoon. £100 pp.
