Cafe Style Raisin and Cranberry Bread

Posted 2017-05-07 by Naomi ⇒ follow

Two simple techniques make this delicious cafe style raisin and cranberry bread. Rehydrating the fruit with a touch of cinnamon makes them burst with flavour. The melted butter on top of the dough makes a tasty top as it bakes. This is delicious served warm out of the oven with butter.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees

Lightly beat the milk and eggs in a bowl until combined.

In a large bowl add the self raising flour, bicarbonate soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon and whisk to combine.

Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour the egg mixture into the centre. Stir to combine.

Transfer the dough to the loaf pan. Pour the melted butter on the top of the dough, tilting the pan if necessary so the surface is covered.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the bread is brown on top and a skewer comes out clean.

Cool in the tin.

Tips

Store in the refrigerator or freeze whole or with baking paper to separate slices.

The cranberries can be substituted with dried blueberries for a sweeter tasting bread.
