Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    They look a bit scruffy, but in my defence Nigella's do too. I changed the method slightly: added saffron, substituted allspice for cloves, and instead of adding the fruit at the beginning I kneaded it in after the first prove, before shaping (added candied peel as I can't envisage a HXB without). The dough was far too dry with the specified quantity of liquid; I added the juice of about half the orange. They taste good, the top crust is a bit leathery though. I prefer Felicity Cloake's recipe, but I like to try a different one from time to time.
