Original Receipt from Birmingham Daily Gazette - Thursday 06 September 1934 Here is a good recipe for nut bread which is not too rich. Brown flour is suggested, but white may be used. Put one pound of wholemeal into a bowl, add one small teaspoonful suit. three ounces butter, two ounces brown sugar. Make into dough as you would for bread, using one ounce yeast creamed and about half a pint tepid milk, or milk and water. knead well until it leaves the sides of the bowl and the fingers quite clean. Then add six or eight ounces prepared fruit, either currants, sultanas, chopped dates, or a mixture and two ounces or three ounces of coarsely chopped walnuts. An egg may be used, but this is not necessary. Let the dough rise until it is double its size, mould into loaves, and put into greased tins. Prove for 15 minutes and bake in a hot oven. Time according to size, roughly one hour for a two pound loaf. For a change, you may add a little spice, chopped candied peel, or about one tablespoonful of treacle.
