Directions
St Patrick’s Day Fruit and Spice Bread,Adapted from a recipe by Sarah Cook in GoodFood magazine. Best eaten warm, freshly baked. It’s best by far not to substitute any ingredient.,I’m glad we tried this delicious traditional bread.
It was really easy to prepare as I had all the ingredients I needed. For the spices used: cinnamon, nutmeg, little spice-bread mix and cardamom.
I prepared all the dry ingredients the evening before and added the liquid only in the morning.
used about 1/3 of cup less liquid, perhaps my oats adsorbed less than others.
After placing the dough over a floured baking sheet I formed the bread directly there, made the cross and we baked it. In this way we had a delicious St.Patrick’s bread, still warm from the oven.
So yummy! Thanks a lot Zurie and a big HUG!
