????️ Traditional Barmbrack Recipe ????️


Ingredients

Barmbrack Dough:
500g strong white flour
50g brown sugar
5g / 1 tsp salt
300ml milk
1 egg
10g fresh yeast or 1 tsp of dried yeast
Zest of 1 orange
1 tsp cinnamon
50g diced butter
300g dried fruit
25ml whiskey
100ml of earl grey tea

(You can use a mix of sultanas, raisins, cranberries and currents as well as some mixed peel Allow to marinade at least overnight)

Whiskey glaze1;
15ml water
30g caster sugar
30ml whiskey



METHOD:
(This dough can be made by hand you may however find the dough a little wetter than what you may be use to. If you have a food mixer feel free to use it using the dough hook attachment!)


1). Mix together the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of the mixer. Add the orange zest and cinnamon to the flour

2). Crumble the yeast into the flour and pour the milk along with the egg into the flour. Begin to mix the dough on a slow medium speed. This is quite a soft, supple dough. If it feels a little wet and stinky don't panic, just stay with it and be persistent the dough will come together.

3). Avoid the temptation to add extra flour. Continue to mix for 3 to 4 mins. As the dough develops slowly add the diced butter into the dough. Increase the speed of the mixer slightly. Continue to mix until all the butter has been incorporated. The dough should start to come away from the bowl

4). Add the dried fruit to the dough and gently knead for 1 to 2 minutes to distribute the fruit evenly. We simply want the fruit to be evenly distributed without having it all broken up. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to prove for about 2 hours

5). Once the dough has doubled in size turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knock back.

6). Prepare three 1 ld loaf tins by brushing with melted butter and dusting lightly with flour.

7). Cut the dough into 3 equal portions approximately 455g each. Roll each piece of dough round allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. Finally shape each loaf and place into the prepared loaf tin. Cover loosely with cling film. Leave to prove again for 60 to 80 minutes or until doubled in size.

8). Preheat the oven to 200°C/375°F/gas mark 5. Brush the surface of each dough with a little beaten egg.

9). Bake the loafs at 200c for 25 minutes, until rich golden in colour.

10). While the loaves are baking prepare the whiskey glaze. Dissolve 30g of sugar in a saucepan with 30ml of water. Place of a low heat to warm gently stirring occasionally. To the sugar syrup add 30 ml of whiskey. Set aside until required.

11). Once the loaves have baked Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Brush the loaves repeatedly with the whiskey glaze.

Traditional Irish tea bread/ Irish Barmbrack
#irishcoking #irishbaking #barmbrack


Hi guys welcome to Marks Irish Kitchen where i make family friendly recipes that everyone can enjoy. Todays video is for a traditional Irish tea bread also know as tea brack. Brack our traditional tea bread has been a festive dish since ancient times. It was usually eaten at “Lughnasa” the first day of autumn and “Samhain” the first day of winter. This traditional homemade bread comes in two versions the traditional Barm Brack or this version the Tea Brack. The difference between them is that a traditional Barm Brack uses yeast to help it rise whereas this version uses baking powder. As you can guess this is great with a nice cup of tea either on its own or buttered. The traditional irish name for the brack is “bairgain breac” bread that is speckled.

INGREDIENTS
500g mixed fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas and cranberries)
75g chopped glace cherries
225g brown sugar
500mls strong hot black tea
350g plain white flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
2 medium sized eggs (beaten)
A little honey for glaze
2x8in bread tins, lined or greased with butter

METHOD
Place the fruit, cherries and sugar in a bowl and pour the hot tea over them. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved, cover and leave to stand overnight.
Sift the flour, baking powder and spice and add a little egg and mix. Then add some fruit, mixing alternately until all the fruit and eggs are combined.
Turn the mixture into two lined loaf tins and bake at 160c/325f/gas 3 for about 1.5 hours. About 10 minutes before the brack is read, brush the top with some runny honey. Return to the oven until fully cooked.
