Hovis (Malted Brown Bread) image

Ahhhh... high school memories! One certain Mr. Brown was my maths teacher and had a great sense of humour. Which was just as well. You see, it was during his tenure at Lanark Grammar School that a British baking company (sorry, I've forgotten their name) introduced their delicious malty brown bread which they marketed under the brand name "Hovis" and they launched the product with TV commercials that proclaimed, simply, "Don't say brown - say 'Hovis'". Yep, you guessed it. From that day forth, our beloved teacher was known and addressed as Hovis. So here's a copycat recipe, in his memory.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a bit dry and crumbly.

This bread is a keeper! It has a wonderful malty flavor and a soft, slightly chewy texture. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this bread again.
