This one is made to the recipe and method I listed in post #167 plus:
50g chopped walnuts.
50g glacé cherry halves.
100g dried mixed fruit.
It's very tasty indeed and is going down very well under a clear blue sky accompanied by a cup of decent coffee.

Have made soda bread several times now using Suisse recipe. Butter milk is not always available or a large carton is substituted. Had excess left at use by date so froze and used this week. Seems to have worked ok.
How do people store their soda bread ? On the first day my bread is crusty/crunchy on top which is great. If I then store in airtight Tupperware, the next day the bread is soft and leathery to chew, whilst perfectly edible.
I know an answer maybe to eat it all on the day, whilst nice it’s not good for the waistline!

Morrison’s supermarket where we are in Letchworth is selling wholewheat and self-raising flour in 16kg bags at £9. They have also split them into paper bags for sale in 1kg weight. I suppose you could ask at the bakery department in other stored just incase they will do it too
We got the same from our Morrisons in Tiverton, plain flour 16kg for £9Morrison’s supermarket where we are in Letchworth is selling wholewheat and self-raising flour in 16kg bags at £9.

We have struggled to get bread flour so we (royal we, just Maggy to be honest) have been making lighter bread but I bit the bullet and bought 16kg of bread flour from Amazon, £16.99 with free delivery so they are not ripping anyone off, I wanted to try it before posting a link but it is excellent, the only ratings lower than 5 stars are because it arrived with the flour bag damaged, no complaints about the quality and I recommend it

ok , 2nd attempt at the japanese milk loaf . got the flour from the asian shop, they're bagging their own , looked a bit yellow and the consistency was different , but very tasty. 3 tbsp sugar made it a bit sweet, so i'll cut that down next time . be lovely with sultanas in it toasted as a tea bread !

She has been experimenting with all kinds of bread and rolls, we have a sourdough starter on the go, we like fougasse and because we have been busy it has been easy to make but we are going to try some of the recipes on this thread, photos will followWhat kind of bread does Maggy make? Some photos would be appreciated if she"s OK with that.
cheers Colin , re- sultana bread, i'm looking forward to eating it !That looks better than good, Nigel!
Judging from the photo it looks as if you've really cracked the shaping and texture. Most impressive.
Could it be that a Japanese milk loaf benefits from flour bought in an Asian shop?
I'm looking forward to seeing the version with sultanas.
