Questions about Dried fruit bread
How do you toast dried fruit bread without burning the fruit?
Slice it thickly and toast on a medium setting, keeping an eye on it: the fruit can catch before the bread is properly browned. A grill works too; turn the slices once.
How should you store dried fruit bread, and can you freeze it?
Keep it wrapped in a cool, dry place or an airtight tin so it does not dry out. Freeze it sliced, with the slices separated, so you can toast one straight from frozen.
What goes well with dried fruit bread?
Butter on a warm, toasted slice is the classic choice with a cup of tea. For a sweet-savoury pairing, try it with mature Cheddar.
Is dried fruit bread the same as malt loaf?
No. Fruit bread is usually a bread dough with dried fruit, while malt loaf is typically stickier and gets its distinctive malt flavour from malt extract.
Can you use dried fruit bread for bread and butter pudding?
Yes. Butter the slices and layer them in the dish before adding the custard; because the bread is already fruity and sweet, you can use less added sugar than you would with plain bread.
Why is tea loaf called tea loaf?
In a traditional tea loaf, dried fruit is soaked in strong tea before baking, which plumps it up and adds flavour. It is also commonly served sliced with tea.
