Fruit and Nut Soda Bread

Lisa Marley
This delicious fruit and nut soda bread is the perfect blend of hearty grains and natural sweetness. Made with a mix of plain and spelt flours, it's packed with dried fruit and enriched with the deep flavor of black treacle. The result is a soft, slightly sweet, and nutty bread with a beautifully tender crumb.
Quick to make and easy to bake, this soda bread is the ideal accompaniment to any meal or a perfect snack on its own. Enjoy it fresh from the oven with a pat of plant-based butter, or toasted with your favorite spread. Simple, nourishing, and utterly delicious – a must-try for any bread lover!
