Currant-Orange Spice Bread
From jo_jo_ba 16 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups whole milk shopping list
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom shopping list
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root shopping list
- 2 3/4 cups honey shopping list
- 9 cups unbleached all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup red currant jelly shopping list
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade shopping list
- 2 teaspoons baking powder shopping list
- 2 tablespoons warm water shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 325°F, and grease and flour two loaf pans.
- Combine the milk through ginger in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and whisk gently.
- As soon as bubbles have formed around the edges of the milk, remove it from the heat, cover, and let sit 10 minutes.
- Heat the honey in a large bowl until it is runny.
- Add the spiced milk and mix well.
- Add 2 cups of the flour and mix, then add the marmalade.
- Slowly add the rest of the flour, stirring until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- In a small bowl mix together the baking soda and the warm water.
- Pour into the batter and continue mixing (at medium speed if using a mixer) until the dough is satiny, at least 10 minutes.
- Divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans (the batter will come very close to the top of the pans).
- Bake 1 hour and 20 - 1 hour and 40 minutes.
- Remove the pans from the oven, let cool 10 minutes and remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool completely on wire racks.
- When cool, wrap the loaves in waxed paper, then aluminium foil, and wait at least 24 hours before tasting, as the flavours need a chance to mature.
- These will keep well, wrapped and stored in an airtight container in a cool spot for at least 2 weeks. They can also be refrigerated for up to 1 month or frozen as mentioned before.
