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!

Steps:
- Drop the teabags into a heatproof jug, pour over 350ml boiling water from the kettle and leave to brew for 5 mins. Tip the dried fruit into a large heatproof bowl and pour over the hot tea. Cover and soak overnight.
- Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line with baking parchment. Scatter the sugar over the soaked fruit and stir to dissolve. Add the ginger, chocolate, marmalade, orange essence, egg, flour, a pinch of salt and all the spices, then mix to a thick batter.
- Scrape into the tin and bake for 1 hr 15 mins. Leave in the tin for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
- To decorate, melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. If you're making the dried peel, peel the oranges and cut the peel into strips. Press dry with a kitchen towel, then scatter over a baking tray and bake at 90C or your oven's lowest setting for 3 hrs, checking every 45 mins. Leave to cool. Drizzle the chocolate over the loaf and scatter with the peel.

Steps:
- First prepare 150ml of strong tea. Place the mixed peel, currents and sultanas in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Cover and leave to stand over night.
- The following day preheat the oven to 170C/fan 150C/gas 5.
- Sift the flour into a bowl, add the spice and nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Cut the butter into small cubes, add to the flour and rub this in with the tips of your fingers until the flour and butter are thoroughly mixed. Remove the fruit from the tea and add them to the butter and flour mixture. Tip in the sugar and mix well. Beat the eggs and milk together and add this to the mixture. Finally, add the marmalade and golden syrup and mix thoroughly.
- Grease a 500g loaf tin with butter, line with baking parchment and pour in the cake mixture. Bake for 40 minutes. At the end of this time take the cake out, line the top with baking parchment (to prevent the top burning) and return to the oven for a further 35 minutes (at this point check the cake occasionally; it is ready when set in the middle and golden brown in colour).
BARA BRITH BREAD
From the Avon International Cookbook. According to the cookbook Bara Brith is welsh for Speckled bread. I guess it's because of the currants and/or raisins used in the recipe. If you buy active dry yeast in a small container like I do, use 2 teaspoons for the recipe. Rising of the dough is part of prep time, as you need to let it sit and rise.
