Currant cranberry bread stuffed with currants, raisins and cranberries. Airy, full of flavor and lots of fruits. A tasty treat especially with a good smear of butter.
Coen, our youngest, is fond of raisin bread. He prefers to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If I buy raisin bread, then it's gone. And there's so much difference in quality. Sometimes I have bread with only a few raisins. A sort of I want to be a raisin bread but ain't. At our local bakery on the other hand we have a delicious filled raisin bread. That is so tasteful.
It seemed like a fun challenge to bake a rich currant bread. With lots of currants, raisins and... cranberries.
No Bigarreau cherries or sugared
lemon
In many recipes you see sugared lemon added to the bread. In one way or another, I don't like it. Just as I don't like Bigarreau cherries, though I digress from the subject. But one of my most favorite snacks when I need something to eat are cranberries. Sounds delicious?
The recipe paid off! The slightly sour taste of cranberries delicious stuck against the sweet raisins. Coen had many slices of this bread with a delicious layer of butter. He accepted the bread as a great choice, my connoisseur.
Because ...
- you drain the fruit, you don't add too much extra moisture to the dough. Otherwise the proportions are not right.
- you prefer a lactose-free bread, replace the milk with water. Brush the bread afterwards with vegetable butter
- you see that the crust of the bread darkens to fast, you cover it with aluminum foil. That way it bakes, but won't burn.
It's a good taste!
