Nut & raisin bread
I got this recipe from a friend from university a long time ago and I made it loads when I was a student. The beauty of the recipe is that you need nothing else but a bowl, a cup, and a (wooden) spoon -- plus a bread pan and the ingredients, of course.
Last week, for some strange reason, I woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly remembered the recipe. So I tried it again, and it was super delicious, and the kids loved it! It is seriously so simple to make. Here’s the recipe.
Nut & raisin bread
In a bowl, stir together:
2 cups of plain flour
1 cup of rye flour (or use plain flour instead)
1 cup of muscovado sugar
1 bag of baking powder (16 grams)
1 cup of milk
1 cup of raisins (soak in hot water for a few minutes)
1 cup of hazelnuts
2 tbl sp of treacle (like golden syrup, or molasses)
Transfer to buttered bread pan and bake in the middle of a medium hot oven (150C / 300F) for about 45 minutes. Wonderful to eat warm with butter, or excellent cooled down as well. Great for picnics, lunch boxes, or a healthy afternoon snack.
Enjoy!
