Bara brith is a traditional Welsh fruit loaf, often enjoyed with butter. Its name translates to "speckled bread," which refers to the mix of dried fruits, such as raisins and currants, that are folded into the dough. The loaf is typically flavored with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and sometimes includes a hint of tea for added richness. This sweet bread is commonly served during special occasions, including Christmas and Easter, but can be enjoyed year-round. It is often sliced and served with a cup of tea, making it a popular choice for afternoon snacks in Wales.
