Bara brith is a traditional Welsh tea bread that's easy to make and studded with dried fruit. I generally soak the raisins in breakfast tea, but feel free to experiment with flavors. Let the bread cool, then slice and butter for a delicious tea time treat!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup hot brewed tea
  • 0.75 cups dried currants
  • 0.75 cups golden raisins
  • 0.75 cups demerara sugar
  • 1.25 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 egg , beaten

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour hot tea over currants and raisins in a bowl; soak 8 hours to overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line a 2-pound loaf pan.

  3. 3

    Stir demerara sugar into tea and fruit mixture until dissolved completely; mix in flour and egg until completely integrated into a batter. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  4. 4

    Bake in preheated oven until golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan briefly before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
