Good fresh out of the oven or topped with jam, whipped cream or berries for any "anytime of the day" special treat. Try baking in Bundt pan for an attractive presentation.

SALLY LUNN TEA BREAD - ORIGINAL RECIPE



Sally Lunn Tea Bread - Original Recipe image

I grew up in the West Country of England near the Roman city of Bath. A favourite treat on a Saturday was to go to home of the famous Bath buns and have them toasted with lashings of butter. Sally Lunn sold these buns in Bath in the 1700s and you can still buy them there today. This is the original recipe for Sally Lunn buns. Prep time does not include time for batter to froth and dough to rise.

SALLY LUNN BATTER BREAD



Sally Lunn Batter Bread image

I saw this recipe in Taste of Home magazine in 2001. I modified it by using a 50/50 blended whole wheat and white flour (bought it that way at my local Kroger) and the yeast is what I normally use in my bread machine, jarred and kept in the refrigerator. It is very light textured and makes a pretty presentation, being cooked in a...

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 c warm water (110-115 degrees)
1 c warm milk (110-115 degrees)
1/2 c unsalted butter (no substitutions, softened)
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp salt
3 large eggs
5 1/2 c 50/50 whole wheat/white flour blend (up to addtl 1/2 cup)
HONEY BUTTER
1/2 c unsalted butter (no substitutions, softened)
1/2 c honey

Steps:

  • 1. Place the dry yeast in a large mixing bowl and mix with the warm water. Add the warm milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs and 3 cups of the flour; beat until smooth (I used my stand mixer for this). TIP: When working with yeast outside my bread machine, I always first heat my oven to its lowest setting, turn it off and allow it to sit with the door shut, until time for the product to rise.
  • 2. Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough (I used 2 1/2 cups more for a total of 5 1/2 cups, but you may use up to 6 cups total); DO NOT knead the dough. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • 3. While dough is rising, prepare a 10-inch tube or bundt pan with grease and flour. After bread has risen, spoon into the prepared pan, smooth and distribute evenly in the pan. Cover the pan and let rise a second time, until doubled in size, about another 1 hour.
  • 4. Place in the oven, turn to 400 degrees (I did not preheat the oven), and bake until browned, about 25-30 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
  • 5. While the bread is cooling, prepare the honey butter by mixing until smooth. If you have any left, refrigerate the honey butter; you can soften it up in the microwave when ready to use again.

SALLY LUNN BREAD



Sally Lunn Bread image

This rich, slightly sweet yeast bread was brought to the Colonies from England and subsequently became a favorite in the South. There are several tales as to its origin, the most popular being that Sally Lunn, an 18th-century woman from Bath, England, created this delicate cakelike bread in her tiny bakery for her prominent patrons' tea parties. Growing up, my mother always served this with Salmagundi salad. We always enjoyed it!

SALLY LUNN BREAD



SALLY LUNN BREAD image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup room temperature milk
1 egg
3/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp butter
3 1/4 cups all-purpose or bread flour
1 tsp bread machine yeast

Steps:

  • Measure the ingredients into the baking pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Insert the pan into the oven chamber. Select Sweet Cycle. Makes one 1.5 pound loaf. Note: Due to the milk and the egg, this recipe cannot be put on a delayed timer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the flour. Bread flour or all-purpose flour with a high protein content will produce the best results.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the dough. This will help to create a flaky texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour too much, resulting in a tough bread.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the bread is light and airy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Sally Lunn bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors. With its soft and fluffy texture and slightly sweet taste, Sally Lunn bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
