SALLY LUNN TEA BREAD - ORIGINAL RECIPE
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.

Steps:
- In a large liquid measuring cup, mix together yeast, sugar, and water; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place milk and butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let stand until mixture is lukewarm (110 to 115 degrees).
- In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Stir eggs into yeast mixture and add to flour mixture; stir until a stiff dough forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a cool place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Butter a Pullman loaf pan measuring 13 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches across the top and 12 3/4 by 3 3/4 inches across the bottom. Deflate dough by beating down with a wooden spoon for about 1 minute. Transfer dough to prepared loaf pan; cover and let rise until dough reaches top of pan, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Uncover dough and transfer to oven; bake until bread is dark and golden on top and sounds hollow when tapped with your knuckles, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and turn bread out onto a wire rack; serve warm or let cool, if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a more tender bread.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually, until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough bread.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
Sally Lunn tea 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 to your liking. With its light and fluffy texture and slightly sweet flavor, Sally Lunn tea bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
