Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until top is golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes (bread will fill half to two-thirds of pan).

• Spoon the dough into a greased loaf pans. You should be able to fill 3 loaf pans, 8x4 inches (20x10 cm). (I prefer to make them in ready to give away little loaf pans which makes about five per batch).
• Place loaf pans in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 45minutes.
• Leave Bram Brack to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and glaze the top with the melted honey. ( If you go with the small give away kind let cool then leave in tin drizzle honey on the top and cover with a little room on top and then give them away when ready.).
