This way lies Schism.

There is one malt loaf though it may come in many forms.

'tis indeed. It's been sat in a box in my kitchen for about 4 months, maybe more. I got spured into action by seeing a 2-for-1 offer from a 'super'market on Soreen. Very odd the way my brain works.

Sorry Silas, I mis read your previous post, and thought you said without malt extract. I do beg your forgiveness. Joke is on me!

The taste is awfully good and exactly what you remember as "malt loaf" (well, what I remember, I don't have some sinister insight in to other people's memories. Yet). But it does fall down on texture, being not so squidgy and chewy. In the bread machine I have improved it a bit by adding some of the fruit earlier, so it gets pulverised, and I wonder if other fruits would work too.

Haven't been able to make the malt-extract ones work yet.

This is my bread machine recipe that is very moist and scrummy

Malt Loaf

1 cup water
1 tsp salt
2 tblesp sunflower oil
1 1/2 tblesp black treacle
2 tblesp malt extract
3 cups plain flour (I use bread flour)
1tsp fast yeast
1/2 cup sultanas (I use 1 cup)

Put in machine in this order and use the basic setting.


I'm going to give this a try at the weekend. Do you put the sultanas in the main bread tin with the other ingredients? Our machine has a little flappy bit on the top for seeds, fruit etc but I don't think it would take a full cup.

Yes, so has ours, but I chuck it all in, like Bugs said, as it squiches the fruit more, and gets the squidgy thing going

Is this why you've been away? Perfecting your brain robbing rays?

Well, I thought I would try Google before looking on here for what to do with this bag of Wessex Mill Malt Loaf flour, and where do you think my searches led me?

He posted about it in 2007, if he's got any left it's probably a bit stale.
