White with 20% Lupin flakes & 5% Lupin Flour
i have been doing a bit of development work for David at the Lupin Co here in Perth and we are at the stage where i needed to bake some of the breads ive been working on that will be photographed tomorrow by a professional photographer. Jessica is also a local bread baker so looking forward to seeing her work.
i made 3 different doughs today and the aim is to keep them relatively simple for the home baker
The one i am featuring here is a plain white dough that has 20% Lupin flakes and 5% Lupin Flour in the mix.
Salt 2%, Home produced honey 2%, Butter 2% yeast 2%, Bread Improver 0.5% water 65%
i start with the lupin content and pour all the water at boiling point over it stir and set aside to cool the honey and butter was added to melt. It has been exceptionally cold here in Perth 18C in the kitchen this morning flour was 15C. So once the Lupin mix came back to 49C the mixer was started.
I have been using a cheap little Chinese Noodle dough machine which i have been very pleased with and at just over A$100 its magic. The dough feels a bit sticky during the mix but is pretty good after the Bulk fermentation time.
With Lupin having high dietary Fibre and high protein levels it a great loaf i hope that we will be doing some cut shots tomorrow and will include them. i will also post the other 2 doughs,
1 produced 2 foccaccias
and the other dough was a "Dates and Flakes fruit dough"
SO a busy day and should be an interesting day tomorrow

Nice work Derek. What will you be wearing for the photo shoot? :)
Gavin I will not be the focus of the shoot the breads will be the stars
I was trying to be funny :)
You have mastered the use of Lupin flour Derek, that’s great that you’re able to use it in so many different types of bread.

Can't wait to see the finished guide book Derek, any idea when it will be available?
Not sure what format or whether its for his web page hope to find out more tomorrow. The good thing is the new packaging with 1kg flour and 400g flakes that David dropped off for shoot props. these will be really good for the home baker as the 5kg was a big investment if you found you didnt like it.
You may have noticed that i went with using all the water at boiling point and letting it cool back to the desired temp for the mixing
Did you have the details of the guy in Germany that was commenting on the Lupins on BBGA, i'd quite like to let him know how we are going here.
Kind regards Derek
The smaller bags are a must for encouraging home bakers to buy. 5K isn't just an investment of money (is lupin pricey?), it's an investment of space. That's where I am limited. I don't have the space in my pantry for these two bags without a major rearrangement, and I'm worried about them going rancid before I can use up the 22(!) pounds. But I do appreciate David's gift, and will be incorporating a little into everything for as long as it stays good :)
Another idea for you is the way it was prepared as a cooked breakfast cereal. It is first toasted in a dry pan until nutty/roasty before adding the liquid and then simmered for a while. Not the greatest of breakfast cereals but fine fermented in bread.
I think I sent you Paul Lebeau's book. His contact info at Mockmill is at the end. If you don't still have it, I'll send his email offline.
All best,
