IRISH BARMBRACK RECIPE
A yeast free Irish tea bread (barmbrack), studded with dried fruit that was soaked in tea overnight or at least 4 hours.
A popular Irish bread normally baked using yeast. Today I tried a yeast free version. Used dried cranberries, apricot and sultana that have been soaked for 4 hours.
This Irish Barmbrack is uncomplicated to make if you plan properly. It requires you to soak the dried fruit in black tea overnight in a refrigerator, the rest was just mix and stir.
You can soak the fruits in any type of tea you like other than black tea. Also this bread does not require extra brown/white sugar either as it is naturally sweetened by the dried fruits.
Irish Barmbrack is easily adapted to be a vegan recipe if you replace some of the ingredients :
whole milk ------> non dairy milk
1 egg ------> 60 g mashed banana or mashed potato
Barmbrack is also eaten year round as a delicious treat at teatime when it is served with salty butter, a few days old brack is also lovely toasted.
