Bara Brith | Welsh Tea Bread
Bara brith is a very traditional recipe from Wales. Bara brith means 'speckled bread' and originally it would have been made with a yeasted dough. In this recipe, I use self-raising flour to get a rise. Bara brith is rich with dried fruit - sultanas, currants, etc - that has been soaked overnight in tea. It's very easy to make bara brith, and it's lovely spread with butter and served with a cup of tea.

BEST Welsh Tea Bread! - 1940's Bara Brith Recipe
This recipe is a recommendation from a viewer and is hands down in my top 5 of the recipes I've made on this channel so far that have been so amazing they now have a permanent spot in my personal cookbook. My goodness, the Welsh seem to have some of the most wonderful recipes (well, out of the 4 I've tried thus far).
But seriously, try this out. Not only is it good, it is made even better by the fact that it was a recipe from the 40's that used ration items like powdered egg and carrots in lieu of dried fruit. I would have been A-OK with being served this as a wartime birthday cake.
Here is the recipe - please do try it. You wont be sorry!
