Lincolnshire Plum Malted Loaf

A GRAND TOUR OF THE UK – baked goods from region to region

One pleasure of travelling the UK is discovering local and traditional products. This month, we remember the Lincolnshire Plum Malted Loaf using IREKS DONKER BREAD MIX and VOLTEX. The first thing to note about the traditional bread is that – other than its name suggests – it does not include plums. Instead, it contains a great deal of mixed dried fruit which is sometimes soaked in black tea for extra moistness. Although it remains unclear exactly when this regional speciality made its first appearance, it is thought to date back many centuries.

Lincolnshire

The county of Lincolnshire is rich in history and one of its famous landmarks is Lincoln Cathedral, the construction of which started in 1072. Following multiple fires and an earthquake in 1185, the cathedral was rebuilt and extended several times. When completed, the central spire was widely accepted as succeeding the Great Pyramids of Egypt as the tallest man-made building in the world, until the spire collapsed in 1548 and was not rebuilt.
