Fat Free Malt Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Line the base and ends of two greased 450g/1lb non-stick loaf tins with strips of baking parchment.
• Pour the hot tea into a mixing bowl with the malt, sugar and dried fruit. Stir well, then add the eggs.
• Tip in the flour, then quickly stir in the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and pour into the prepared tins. Bake for 50 mins until firm and well risen. While still warm, brush with a little more malt to glaze and leave to cool.
• Remove from the tins. If you can bear not to eat it straight away, it gets more sticky after wrapping and keeping for 2-5 days. Serve sliced and buttered, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 C or 350°F
• Line the base of a 1lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper, cut to fit.
• Sieve flour and ground ginger into a bowl.
• Stir through bicarbonate of soda and sultanas, then bind ingredients with golden syrup and water - enough to make a fairly soft consistency.
• Turn the mixture into the tin and level off.
• Bake the loaf for about 55 minutes, or until risen and firm to the touch.
• Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn on to a wire tray to cool completely.
• Serve sliced with tea.

Steps:

• Grease and line your loaf tin, and preheat the oven to 170C/fan 150C/gas 5.
• Use a cup to measure the ingredients (I use my small measuring jug featured in the photograph.)
• Pour the All bran and milk into a bowl. Leave the All Bran to soak up the milk (about 5-10 mins.)
• Add the self raising flour and sugar to your mixture and stir.
• Cut up your dried fruit (if using prunes and apricots) and dust with some of the self raising flour. Add the fruit to your mixture and stir.
• The mixture should be thick and gloopy, if it isn't you may wish to add a bit more milk. Transfer the mixture to your loaf tin and put in the oven for 1 hr -1 hr 30 mins. Check on the loaf after 1 hr by putting a knife through the middle, if it comes out clean the loaf is cooked, if not leave it in a little longer.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients (except the milk) into the bread machine pan in the above order, or as directed by the manufacturer. Select the Basic Bread setting; press Start.
• After the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread from the pan and brush the just baked bread with milk. This will give it a soft and shiny crust.
