At Tidal Waters Loglodge  in Gisborne, the homemade wholemeal bread is not just made when guests arrive - it is made every two days and part of the daily menu. I like the flexible nature of the recipe and add herbs, kibbled wheat, sunflower or pumpkin seeds as the mood takes us - and the supplies in the pantry.
