Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for currants
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 3/4 cups cold buttermilk, shaken
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup dried currants

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is mixed into the flour.
  • With a fork, lightly beat the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest together in a measuring cup. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Combine the currants with 1 tablespoon of flour and mix into the dough. It will be very wet.
  • Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and knead it a few times into a round loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared sheet pan and lightly cut an X into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will have a hollow sound.
  • Cool on a baking rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

VEDA BREAD



Veda bread image

Veda is a Northern Irish bread made from malted flour. It can only be bought in Northern Ireland (usually) so this recipe is a lifesaver if you love it but don't live there! The bread is fairly soft, dark and chewy. Best eaten toasted with butter (and maybe cheese) for me but I've heard lots of different ways of eating it.

Steps:

  • This recipe works perfectly in a bread maker following a standard white loaf programme (small size if you have the option). For a bread maker, add ingredients in the following order: Water, salt, oil, barley malt extract, flours, yeast
  • It has also been used to make bread the old fashioned, manual way - essentially, follow the usual bread making process to combine all the ingredients, knead, prove, etc, cooking for a similar amount of time to a white loaf.

HOVIS (MALTED BROWN BREAD)



Hovis (Malted Brown Bread) image

Ahhhh... high school memories! One certain Mr. Brown was my maths teacher and had a great sense of humour. Which was just as well. You see, it was during his tenure at Lanark Grammar School that a British baking company (sorry, I've forgotten their name) introduced their delicious malty brown bread which they marketed under the brand name "Hovis" and they launched the product with TV commercials that proclaimed, simply, "Don't say brown - say 'Hovis'". Yep, you guessed it. From that day forth, our beloved teacher was known and addressed as Hovis. So here's a copycat recipe, in his memory.
