How To make Bara Brith (Currant Bread) Welsh
1/4 lb Dried fruit
4 oz Candied peel
1 pt Warm water
1/2 ts Mixed spice
2 lb Plain flour
2 ts Salt
6 oz Lard
1 oz Fresh yeast
1/2 lb Demerara sugar
2 Eggs
Oven: 450F, Gas Mark 8 for 15 minutes: 375F, Gas Mark 5 for 45 minutes. Soak the fruit and candied peel in
the water with the spice. Leave to steep in a warm place and use the warm spicy, strained water to mix the dough. Sift the flour and salt and rub in the lard; cream the yeast with the sugar and a little of the spiced water; mix this into the flour, together with the eggs and use enough of the water to give a firm, yet elastic dough. Knead well, leave to rise and knock back; blend in the drained fruit and knead again. Shape the dough into loaves and set into greased 1 lb tins in a warm place to prove; bake, reducing the temperature after the first 15 minutes. Originally, in some recipies, the fruit content would have been fresh currants or blackberries. Bara Brith is often served as part of the traditional Welsh tea. It can also be purchased at many of the small bakeries found throughout Wales. British Cookery (BTA/BFPC)

How to make Bara Brith a Welsh tea cake recipe with Siân in Wales
Bara Brith is a Welsh tea cake which is made from self-raising flour, sugar, dried fruit and berries, tea, spices, and an egg. Bara Brith is unusual recipe in the fact that the recipe calls for soaking the dried fruit and berries overnight in tea. The bread gets its name in Welsh as speckled bread for the pieces of dried fruit which speckle its moist inside. Siân's grandma's recipe is very traditional and absolutely amazing. The bread is dense, flavorful and super moist. Try it out below!

Traditional Welsh Bara Brith Recipe with Jon from GBBO 2018
Bara brith, sometimes known as speckled bread, is a traditional Welsh tea bread enriched with dried fruit and made with self-raising flour. It is traditionally flavoured with tea, dried fruits, and mixed spices, and is served sliced and buttered at tea time, and some people in Wales also like to eat it with a nice piece of Caerphilly cheese!
It was lovely having Jon coming to cook with me for St David's Day he absolutely loved my Bara Brith recipe, which is so simple it only takes a matter of minutes...
