This is another great holiday bread to make that belonged to my mother. She sometimes served this one, and it is a very old recipe. This bread is good the first day, but better the second. You may use dates instead of raisins if you wish.

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • 1. Put the strong tea and the dried fruit in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Gently simmer for 30 minutes, not letting all the tea evaporate completely. Leave to cool for ten minutes or so.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 170C and grease and line a 1 litre loaf tin. Tip the fruit and tea into a big bowl and simply add all the other ingredients. Mix really well so that everything is incorporated and tip the mixture into the loaf tin and level the surface. Bake for about an hour or until it is firm to the touch and a skewer comes out cleanly.
  • 3. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into thick slices and eating with your eyes shut (it’s that sort of teabread).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tea bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Tea bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's easy to make and can be customized with a variety of different ingredients. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, there's a tea bread recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying treat, give tea bread a try.
