Bara Brith

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 flavored 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! My recipe is so simple it takes just a matter of minutes to make!

Beautiful Aroma Milk Tea Bread Rolls Beautiful Aroma Milk Tea Bread Rolls
I made this for my friend who loves black tea. It's a sweet bread that's great for both snack and breakfast.Adding condensed milk in Step 1 reduces the hot milk temperature. Please follow this step and do not add condensed mild straight to the bowl.Although it will be a sticky dough at first, it will become an easy dough to work with after 5 minutes. So be patient.I used Earl Grey tea this time which has a beautiful aroma, but you can use your own favourite flavour. Recipe by caramel-cookie cookpad.japan -
