Preparation
Step 1
Place the sugar, malt extract, treacle and butter in a pan and heat gently until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool.
Step 2
Mix the flours, salt, yeast and sultanas in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Pour in the cooled malt syrup mixture and the warm water. Mix thoroughly, the mixture will be soft and sticky.
Step 4
Turn the mixture on to a floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes to bring the mixture together.
Step 5
Grease two 1lb loaf tins and divide the mixture among them. Smooth the mixture with the back of a spoon so that the top is smooth and level. Cover each tin with a plastic bag so that it is loose and not touching the top of the tin. Leave for a couple of hours, or until the dough has risen to the top of the tins.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 190c. Remove the plastic bags and bake for 30-40 minutes. If the top of the loaf starts to brown too quickly, cover with a sheet of foil and continue baking.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with warm honey to glaze. Slice and eat with butter.
