VARIATIONS & TIPS:

  • Any berries work well, such as raspberries or even a mix of your favourite berries.

  • This loaf is not very sweet, add 1/2 cup of sugar if you feel the need in step 2.

  • Try this loaf toasted with a cup of tea it's delicious.

  • This bread is a great breakfast on the run or lunchbox snack.

  • Try some different toppings, mascarpone cheese with a little honey is my favourite.
