Ingredients
3g Loose Leaf Earl Grey Tea
100g raisins
70g dried cranberries
175g sultanas
1 orange, zested
275g self-raising flour
170g light brown muscovado sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
Method
1. Make 300ml of Earl Grey tea.
2. Put the dried fruits and orange zest in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Stir, cover and leave to soak for two-three hours or overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 3½. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin.
4. Put the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and egg in the bowl with the fruit mixture and mix thoroughly (you don’t need to drain the fruit).
5. Spoon into the tin. Bake for 1¼ - 1 ½ hours, then check to see how it’s doing. A skewer inserted into the centre of the cake should come out clean. Put it back in for another 15 mins if it’s not quite cooked.
6. Leave to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
7. To serve, cut into thick slices and spread with butter.
Bara Brith - Welsh Tea Loaf.
Bara Brith is a traditional Welsh fruit loaf. With dried fruits soaked in tea and with mixed spice as well this is a very tasty loaf. It is ideal for tea time, maybe smeared with some butter, or just as it is. One slice is just not enough

Bara Brith TRADITIONAL WELSH Tea Bread
Bara Brith, which translates to speckled bread in Welsh, is a traditional Welsh tea bread known for its rich and fruity composition. This delightful treat has deep roots in Welsh culture and history, symbolising the country's culinary heritage.
The origins of Bara Brith date back to the 19th century, although variations of this fruit-laden bread were likely made in Wales long before then. It's a product of humble beginnings, created from leftover dough at the end of a baking day, with dried fruits soaked in tea added to it. This ingenious use of ingredients prevented waste and resulted in a delicious, moist bread that could be kept for several days.
The traditional Bara Brith recipe involves mixing dried fruits such as raisins, currants, and sometimes candied peel with strong black tea, allowing the mixture to soak overnight to plump the fruits. This mixture is then combined with flour, sugar, spices (typically mixed spice), and an egg to create a dense, moist loaf baked to perfection. Historically, using yeast as the leavening agent was common, but modern versions often incorporate self-raising flour or baking powder as a more convenient alternative.
Bara Brith is more than just a tea bread; it symbolises Welsh hospitality and is traditionally served sliced with butter alongside a cup of tea. It's also a staple during celebrations such as St. David's Day (Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant), the patron saint of Wales. It has found its place in various regional and familial recipes across the country, with each version claiming its unique twist on the classic.
Over time, Bara Brith has gained popularity beyond the Welsh borders, representing a cherished part of Welsh culinary tradition in the global culinary scene. Its enduring appeal lies in its taste and ability to evoke a sense of Welsh identity and tradition, making it a beloved treat among locals and visitors alike.
This historical and cultural significance of Bara Brith is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Wales, showcasing the creativity and resourcefulness of Welsh cooks in creating a dish that is both delicious and emblematic of Welsh culture.
