2019 BAKING TRENDS
Get set for another year of brilliant home baking as we shine the spotlight on our 2019 baking trend predictions here in the UK. Creative ideas from artisanal doughnuts to comforting nostalgic bakes.
SAVOURY DOUGHNUTS
Forget sweet and think savoury when it comes to the doughnut as we've spotted that this deep fried treat is getting somewhat of a culinary makeover. From fillings and flavours such as Brixham Crab and Red Pepper Chutney, not only have leading restaurants started to put them on their menu (have you tried the Spiced Duck Doughnut at Duck And Waffle yet?!) but even supermarkets such as Morrisons have joined in.
