A seriously fruity loaf, packed with succulent raisins, currants and sultanas held in a soft, slightly sweetened crumb. So rich that it barely needs a scrape of butter to bring a luxurious burst of flavour to breakfasts, picnics or daytime snacks. In discussion at a recent market Alan heard that the Dutch have a saying for a sparsely fruited loaf: they say that they need to cycle from one raisin to the next. Dutchmen of the world; put your bikes away! |
