Bara Brith

Bara brith (meaning 'speckled bread') is a yeast leavened fruit bread made using strong white or wholemeal flour. Originating from Wales, this dense, rounded, tea bread contains currants, and may also include raisins, citrus zest, candied peel and spices. It is often glazed with honey to provide an attractive, tasty crust.

Bara brith is popular throughout the UK, and may be found in most supermarkets and bakeries.
