A star baker has revealed how a freak ‘accident’ in the kitchen led him to create ‘Britain’s Best Loaf’.

Tom Martin’s delicious Deep Pan Rosemary and Garlic Focaccia was a showstopper when it beat over 180 others to win the coveted national title.

The winning bread - made with a sourdough base and fermented garlic oil - wowed the judges with its wide structure profile and open texture.

But the artisanal cook, who began as a baker in Tesco, said he only discovered his recipe after adding too much liquid to a mixture for a standard loaf.
