Oh cookie you must, it is soooooo delicious.

I just watched the programme on iplayer and I must say my loaves are much taller than those shown! I am well chuffed but did use  *: and did and extra rise. DH is also very impressed. Now if I Can do the seeded one as well....

There will be 5 more programmes and they are interesting. I want to try the beer crust on a rustic loaf.

malt loaf bread and butter pudding will be fab too.

I await your baking news with a big grin on my face as you will love it.

I have just started this. At the moment I have the sugar, treacle, malt and butter melting in the  *:  I am using a slightly different conversion to you DJ as you said it was very sticky. Hopefully it will be as nice as yours.

The dough is sure sticky. When the butter etc was cool I added all the other ingredients and kneaded it for 4 minutes. I should have added the fruit in the last minute or so as it has broken up quite a lot. Ill put it in the tins in a bit and then let it rise and cook it. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe DJ.

I even remembered that the UK tablespoon is only 15 ml whereas ours is 20 ml.

I still have one in freezer then will do again.

It's a two bread scraper job, well it was for me!

And my loaves looked far better than on the TV programme.

I am sure you will love it. Happy Easter

DJ it has a lovely taste. Mine darkened a lot but that is because of the sweetness in it. Even before we cut it I could smell it. I cooked it as one loaf and added dried blueberries and cranberries to the few sultanas I had.

I didn't put a glaze on it either as I knew I would be freezing some and it tends to stick with glaze. I love a slice with my cuppa DJ. Thanks   :-* :-*

I put the honey top and yikes it was sticky.
Froze one loaf whole.
I see up have an electric knife for slicing, do you do all your bread that way?

Yes DJ we find that the best and easiest. DH likes to take charge of that part. For some reason he seems to think I will chop my finger off.
