BARA BRITH - WALES
From Celtic Cookery by Iris Price Jones. "Bara Brith (literally Speckled Bread) is a spicy currant loaf which used to be made every bread baking day by adding sugar and spices and fruit to a portion of the bread dough. It is common to all Celtic countries - called Selkirk Bannock in Scotland, Barm Brack in Ireland, Saffron Cake in Cornwall, and Morlais Brioche in Brittany. It is, I suppose, the most popular tea time dish in Wales and it would be a very unusual tea-party that did not include platefuls of bara brith. Recipes for making bara brith without yeast have multiplied these last few years, and are now generally used in preference to the traditional one, because they are so quickly made and so good. This one gives a rich, moist loaf that cuts well." Serve in thinly buttered slices with tea! My French neighbours enjoyed this a lot!

A sweet, yeast-less Welsh bread studded with dried fruit. I generally soak my raisins in Irish breakfast tea, but feel free to experiment with flavors.

Steps:
- This is Wales' traditional rich fruit bread.
- South Wales makes it with baking powder; Northerners prefer yeast as the raising agent. Either way it's delicious.
- Soak the dried fruit and sugar overnight in the tea.
- You can use either fresh tea, or the cold dregs from the teapot (this gives a good strong colour). Next day, sieve the flour and fold it it into the fruit. Mix in the lightly beaten egg.
- Line a small loaf-tin with buttered paper then tip in the mixture, smoothing it well into the corners.
- Bake in a gentle oven at 300 F (150 C) for 1-1/2 hours.
- Cool and store for at least 2 days in a tin so that it matures moist and rich.
- Traditionalists say you should never butter the Bara Brith, but it's lovely that way!

- Put the raisins, sultanas and currants in a bowl along with the candied lemon and orange peel. Pour the hot tea over the fruit, stir, cover and let sit overnight.Depending on how dry or moist your raisins/currants were to begin with they will have absorbed nearly all of the liquid. If there is some liquid remaining reserve about 2 or 3 tablespoons of it to brush on top of the finished bread.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the flour, baking powder, salt and spices and stir to combined. Add the fruits and their juices (except for the juice you reserved) along with all remaining ingredients. Use the paddle attachment to mix the ingredients into a batter that resembles a soft cookie dough. (If the batter seems too dry after you've mixed it add either a little melted butter or a little bit of egg yolk.)
- Scoop the batter into a greased loaf pan and use the back of a spoon or your fingers to smooth the top. Bake for 70-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.Spoon or brush the reserved dried fruits liquid over the top of the hot bread and let it cool for a few minutes before removing it from the loaf pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
