Enjoy your delicious and fresh Sultana bread!

Here are a few tips for making delicious Sultana bread:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Make sure to use fresh ingredients, such as yeast, milk, sugar, and butter, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can lead to tough and dense bread. Knead gently until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: Place the dough in a warm and draft-free place to rise. A good tip is to preheat the oven for a minute and then turn it off and place the dough inside.
  • Add sultanas at the right time: Add the sultanas when the dough has doubled in size and before shaping it into a loaf. This way, the sultanas will be evenly distributed throughout the bread.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Bake the bread at a temperature of around 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let it cool completely: Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure that the crumb remains soft and tender.
