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.

    Many years ago long before the advent of the internet and KZread I taught myself to make bread using Elizabeth David's book English bread and yeast cookery and subsequently her recipe for bara brith among other treasures of regional yeast based baking such as lardy cake. She uses butter as does the long departed Michael Smith who uses a mixture of lard and butter and what is good enough for Mrs David and Mr Smith is good enough for me. Such bakes were meant as a treat and for using up any leftover dough after the weekly bread making.

    I’m Canadian with Irish, English and Welsh heritage and absolutely love making this loaf. I have on occasion added my own homemade peel of oranges and lemon which adds an additional aromatic depth of citrus to the loaf. I do enjoy it made both ways. However way it’s made, it doesn’t stay long enough to ever get stale in my house.❤

Five years ago I would bake late at nite to help heat the house, quite a cold winter then. Made many a loaf along with orange cake and beer bread. I like to put a slice in an iron skillet and toast it slightly and then slather on the butter. Great breakfast and afternoon snack. Thank you so much for the recipe. I'll be baking tonite.

    A beautiful, Florida morning for doing house chores. Instead of music or bad news, I get me some BACKYARD CHEF to start my day 🥖🥐🍞 Across the pond, when we have things like a not so 'perfect look' to them, we call it 'rustic'. In savory recipes, I use sweet onions (Vidalia) and I give them a 'rustic cut' because I like chunks of onion, rather than have it cook down completely. I would call this a perfectly rustic bread ❤

    Rik, there are so many versions of bara brith (and your pronunciation was da iawn - very good). Thank you for sharing, as this recipe looks lovely, certainly not as sweet and dry as some bara brith I've seen in shops. The original dough with yeast recipe originates from when households didn't have ovens and women used to take their bread dough to the village bakeries to be baked and would ask for a little bit of dried fruit to be added to that left-over bit before baking, hence, bara brith (speckled bread). The cake version is a more modern version of bara brith, which I believe originated in south Wales (though I'd be grateful to learn from my southern-based compatriots whether that's true or not). It does seem that some people like the cake version, a tea loaf basically. Others - like me - prefer the old north Wales 'bread' version. Anyway, I do have an old family recipe (dough with yeast version), which has been modified over the years; it comes from a recipe that is over 150 years old and is fabulous. I'd share it with you, but if I did that, there's a chance that the family curse would strike for sharing it with outsiders, and it would be our loss because there'd be no more videos. So, with your continuing good health being of paramount importance to subscribers here and abroad, I'm going to keep it to myself 🤐 😉 Take care and Hwyl fawr!

    Thank you for this wonderful tea bread. I had to make one change as my daughter isn’t too fond of the tea flavour, so I soaked the fruit overnight in a weaker solution of tea. I then substituted fresh orange juice instead of the extra tea to mix the ingredients and was delighted with the end result.

    I've made this a few times now, splitting your mix between two one pound loaf tins. I've also experimented with steeping liquids. Pepsi Max works well (other colas are available), as does strong black coffee, always assuming that you like other types of coffee cake. Next up will be rum & cola, and some cheap 'cooking wine'.

    You can do it! It's a straight forward Tea Bread. Just mix and pour in. Most people don't make Tea Breads, because of steeping the fruit in Tea. They forget it needs to soak and plump up. However it is no work its pour in and leave it over night. Hope you have chance to make it. Best, Rik
