MALT loaf classic BRITISH sweet bread

- Опубліковано 10 січ 2024
- Malt loaf is a classic British sweet bread known for its rich, sticky texture and malty flavor. The history of malt loaf dates back to the early 20th century in the United Kingdom. The recipe was popularized in the 1930s by a company called Soreen and is now synonymous with malt loaf in the UK.
The key ingredient in malt loaf is malt extract derived from barley. Malt extract provides the loaf's distinctive flavor and contributes to its moist, dense texture. Making malt involves soaking barley grains in water to start germination and then drying them to stop the process. This process develops enzymes that convert the grains' starches into sugars extracted as malt.
Malt loaf is often made with dried fruits like sultanas, raisins, or dates, which add sweetness and texture. The inclusion of black tea in the recipe helps to plump up the dried fruits and add a subtle depth of flavor. Other ingredients like black treacle or molasses and dark brown sugar enhance the rich, caramel-like taste of the loaf.
Traditionally, malt loaf is served sliced, with a spread of butter, often as a tea-time snack. Over the years, it has remained a beloved treat in the UK, with its recipe passed down through generations. It's known for being a filling, energy-packed snack, sometimes enjoyed by athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.
The popularity of malt loaf has spread beyond the UK, with recipe variations appearing in other countries. However, with its distinctive stickiness and malty flavour, the classic British version remains the most iconic.

I made this yesterday 26th Jan. OMG not tasted this loaf since I left UK it was fantastic! absolutely wonderful. Better than Soreen you should be proud as I was when I saw and tasted my cake.👍🇦🇺🇬🇧
This recipe warms my heart... I stopped buying factory made malt loaf as it just isn't the same recipe, or taste to what i remember and i ate enough to know how delicious it was back when i was younger, rich, malty, fruity, deliciousness... i could eat a whole loaf without butter on my way back from running errands. It cost 12p.
Thank you
Hope you enjoy this one - its really good! Best, Rik
There are several companies out there supplying malt syrup. My family loves it!
I made this this morning for my daughter to take to an afternoon tea gathering. The children went bonkers for it. Including a 9 month old baby who was virtually pulling the loaf off the table to get at it after eating a small piece, ended up enjoying a whole slice! One adult had some and said it was absolutely delicious. Perhaps some of the magic is in the malt?
Fantastic! Sounds like you nailed it - good on you. Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh my goodness.....my childhood right there.....soaking the fruit in black tea.....I'd forgotten my Mother did that......thank you. ❤
My Pleasure, thank you for sharing. Hope you have chance to make it. Best, Rik
Lovely with butter and Wensleydale cheese
Agreed there Fred. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
Well Rik, you have definitely made a friend for life in me as this is my all time favourite from my childhood days to now.
My mums name was Doreen and we used to always say to her "where's the Soreen Doreen" good old memories
Thank you so much for this video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice to have you as a friend, Diane. Great memories! Hope you have chance to make it - I love it! Best, Rik
That is very similar to my Boston Brown Bread recipe! Just no malt extract because we don't typically have that ingredient. We would have it along side Boston baked beans for a meatless Friday supper. Ours is cooked in cans for a cylinder type loaf. Live mine with butter or cream cheese is fantastic too. Have the leftover for Saturday breakfast with tea or coffee And it freezes beautifully so you can have it on hand or to gift. I'm drooling over it and those loaf pan papers as well. 🎉
Thanks for sharing, Annette. I love to hear to hear about other recipes and what folks are eating. It inspires me to look up recipes and improves my knowledge of cooking. Best, Rik
You should try making it with malt extract and black treacle. Have a look for home brew supply stores as they tend to carry both of those ingredients.
Boston baked beans usually have a bit of salt pork. Not Meatless Catholic Friday meal.
How would you make it - if you have time to share. It sounds amazing! Best, Rik@@buffybrown1619
@@buffybrown1619 There's confession on Saturday! Substitute butter. Then there's the technicality of using it for flavor not actually eating the flesh meat part. There's always a way. Being poor you use what you have . Salt pork was a luxury item.
Rik, this is my Son's all time favourite. I love your cooking and baking as they are all original. There are none of the additives that are put in supermarket foods. Just good home traditional cooking.
Hope you enjoy it - yes simple recipes on here that everyone can make. Best, Rik
I haven't thought about this treat in YEARS. Now I must bake.
This is incredible. Best, Rik
I love malt loaf, and only get it when I visit the UK. I live in Canada. Now I’m going to try and make it at home! Not sure where I can get malt extract. Thank you, Rik.
Do you have home brew shops? They have it or health food, other than that its online. Thank you. Best, Rik
Gods man, this looks gorgeous. I have to make it!
It is! Thank you. Best, Rik
the fruit is steeping in tea right now so I'm back for another check on your video before I start the baking. Fingers crossed 😀
You got this! You know what you are doing! Thank you. Best, Rik

Hello Rick!!! 😊 I made this beautiful bake yesterday. It was the most outstanding loaf we've tried ever!!! I am Celiac, and had to use GF flour and rice malt...but I'm happy to report it bakes up beautifully!!! Just so grateful to you for keeping these beautiful old recipes alive!!! Nothing in the world like true home cook recipes! Love your channel and will be attempting the Grasmere Ginger recipe from dear Mrs Nelson 💓😢💓. Thank you for keeping these recipes current!!! It is a wonderful thing to see and experience!!! ❤❤❤
Wow! Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh wow, I am also Coeliac and had not thought of using rice malt. Thanks for your comment I will give this a go now. I think you are a life saver for me. xx
Once again you've outdone yourself! I am salivating!
Thank you. Best, Rik
One of my all time favourites, not made it in years...
Hope you have a chance, Neil. I love the stuff. Best, Rik
I compared recipes and this is very much like the American Boston Brown Bread recipe. The American version uses less sugar and adds buttermilk. I look forward to making your version!
Thank you. Best, Rik
This looks great - must give it a try. Love British fruit loaves. When I used to live close to N. Wales, I used to enjoy bara brith. No malt in that one!
Hope you enjoy! Best, Rik
I love barley and malt. This looks delicious. I have dried black figs and dates but need to buy Sultanas. I guess we can add any dried fruits we like. Adding this to my recipe box. 👍🏼
Yes, any dried fruits, what you have already is amazing! Best, Rik
I just love your enthusiasm 😂❤
Especially when stuffing my mush! Thank you. Best, Rik
Hailing from Manchester originally, that is a childhood favourite, where the Soreen malt loaf came in two sizes. Here in Australia we are only able to get the smaller loaf and it’s quite expensive.
I can honestly tell you - this loaf if you can keep it two days is really fantastic with some butter on. I had half a loaf in a tub. I finished it with a cuppa. Had it for breakfast whilst prepping ingredients. Amazing. Hope you can make it. Best, Rik
It’s a great recipe, fondly remembered, for afternoon tea on a wintry day. Thanks, great job!
My pleasure 😊Hope you have chance to enjoy again. Best, Rik
love it, also love malted granary bread
Brilliant 👏
Thanks, Richard. Hope you get chance to make. Best, Rik
Yum!
Stunning, will be making this very soon indeed
Hope you enjoy it! I love it. Best, Rik
Looks great will be making this Rick thanks.
Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
Thank you, thank you. I lived in London after I finished school and loved malt loaf. I’ve been looking for a recipe ever since but none of them have the gooey texture.
This is an amazing recipe. I use this all the time. Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
Like Annette below, I am reminded of our local favorite, Boston Brown Bread. It is made from a mix of flours, raisins, and molasses, and steamed in tall tins. It's a delicious hearty bread, traditionally eaten with baked beans.
Thanks for sharing!! I have already looked up a recipe for Boston Baked Beans. I will now look up a recipe for Bread in tins both sound amazing! I would probably get slated by the folks over there - a Brit making - and I will admit to having NEVER made before. Best, Rik
my mouth is watering, this looks delicious
Audrey, it certainly is mouth-watering! Smothered in butter, it's amazing. Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow, yummm! Can't wait to make this, I just ordered some malt extract, very excited to try it! Thanks Rik👍😋
Hope you enjoy. It is fantastic cold with butter on and a cuppa! Best, Rik
This is beautiful , so easy make thank you for teaching us 😊
Thank you! Cheers! Best, Rik
delish !!
Thank you! Best, Rik
Loved it in NZ when I was a child.
Good memories. Best, Rik
I love that you dove right in with butter dripping all over, couldn’t wait for it to cool.
Thank you. Oh yeah! When my mouth is watering I want it! Best, Rik
OMG Rik. Got t try this. Malt Loaf is 1 of my favourites. 👍
Make it; I know you can. It will be a regular. Best, Rik
I made this today. Very easy to make and absolutely delicious! I shall definitely be making this malt loaf regularly.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Best, Rik
Got to try this one , shared with my daughter in North Carolina ,when she visits us we have to get malt loaf Soreen ,dot forget the Soreen Doreen being my name .Thank you so much Rick great teacher .

Great, I love this stuff, Made one of my own last year. Glazed it with golden syrup.
Yes a good way! Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
So! I will make and eat this loaf, and thus become an Athlete! Can't wait!!!
Greetings from San Francisco. Keep up the GREAT work!
Hope you like it! I'm Athletically challenged after eaten this - however loved it. All t he very best to San Francisco! Best, Rik
Wow. That looks so delicious. I have loved malt loaf since I was very young. It was the only cake that my mum never made, so I guess she didn't have a recipe. She used to buy it. As an adult, I've always put butter on it. Yours is really packed with fruit and I like that it has a crunch to the top.
Thank you. This malt loaf is ridiculously good! I used to eat soreen all the time. Making it is the icing on the cake. Best, Rik
Hi Rick, I made this yesterday. I used 2x1 lb loaf cases. My husband and I had some later in the evening and I had a second slice with butter this morning. Yummy! Thanks for the very easy recipe. I most certainly will add it to my repertoire. I’ll add that I had to add extra minutes as well
Brilliant! Well done, Karen. I'm over the moon. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
😮😮😮😮😮 MAN ALIVE 😲😲😲😲
RIK 😲😲. THAT IS SURELY AMAZING.😲 If only i could catch an airplane ✈️ to eat that malt loaf 🍞
I was salvaiting as the butter melted and dripped of your slice😮 My air fryer will be on tomorrow making this for sure. I can't wait 😘😘😘😘😘😘
Its a cracker! I Love it! Hope you enjoy. Any tips for Belfast or Northern Ireland Veggie rolls - I'm making them. Best, Rik
Man Alive Rik....I only know that my mother made stew 🍲 with vegetable roll.... There was 5 children and our 2 parents...My father was the only bread winner,,,he also had a second job which was the B Specials,,,,they were part of the police service of Northern Ireland...
Not great wages in those days...My mother bought the cheapest meat around,,and turned it into 🍲 stew..
Nowadays,,, vegetable roll doesn't taste the same.😮😮
I'm looking forward to what you will make with it.... Have a great day my friend.😘😘😘. Henrietta..
Thanks for sharing. Parents did everything they could to support the family. I know that firsthand. I have already made and eaten one version of the veg roll. Now I'm changing to a second version; however, I will include both shortened versions in the upload. Best, Rik @@henriettagoldsmith5056
I just made this and it delicious! Took nearly an hour to cook though.
Great job! Thanks for sharing - others may have the same cooking time. Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks delicious! It reminds me of Harvo more than Soreen, which I remember as being a bit lighter and not as moist. Did you ever try toasting malt bread? It's delicious with butter and maybe a bit of Caerphilly or Wensleydale. Thanks for the recipe.
Toasting malt bread with just butter on it is delicious! Best, Rik
Love malt bread. Cant get it in South Africa whete I have lived for years. Tried many recipes but were pale this picture is how I want it

We have two different types of Molasses here in the USA. Black-Strap Molasses is stronger flavored and very slightly bitter. Which would be more appropriate?
Black strap is fine. Might have a slightly different taste but no problems. Best, Rik
I just found your site and enjoy it. I am expat but fly into Manchester every time anymore , even though I am from Cambridge area. First thing off a flight I find a malt load, and they’re every where anymore in the mini size: train stations, airports and always shop.
Why do you not mention the amount of flour , sugar etc in your videos as then I can write it down? Love your passion for what you bake and enjoy!
All the best, M.

Back in the 70's I used to do van sales for Sunblest. I well remember the Soreen malt loaf it was one of my favourites, so it was one less item I had to sell.😄
Thank you. Best, Rik
I so wanted to love this ..but it didn`t taste anything like the malt loaf I remember...but I am still following your recipes :)
Sorry to hear that. Did you follow the recipe? Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you very much for that; I love Soreen ... it's too easy to eat a whole loaf of it with butter! I'll be making my own soon! Could you tell me where to get that lovely long serrated knife, please? I find an ordinary bread knife is a little too short to cut some of my homemade round loaves.
Peter, I just stumbled over it in a baking shop. I buy things when I see them. Sorry I cant help further. Best, Rik
Rik, I hate you! (only joking). I used to have this often when we lived in Yorkshire and I love it. Unfortunately 20 years ago I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and can no longer have anything with normal flour or malt. You make my mouth water watching you enjoying this and I am green with envy. It looks so good. Enjoy! N.

I've read that malt wasn't really used as a sweetener until Prohibition in America, which forced breweries to branch out into such things as malt shoppes.

This bread reminds me of B & B Brown Bread that comes in a tal can. My dad would buy it all the time back in the 70's when I was a teen. My sister and I would sneak and open up a can anx eat it with franks..and beans. We loved it. I hadn't eaten for years more recently because we couldn't find it in the grocery stores. I.found online.and ordered some and boy was i excited. It brought back so many good memories . Now this bread was from a can mind you. Yours looks absolutely fabulous. More delicious looking than from a can for sure. I would like to try making some one day. Now was the fruit raisins? That's what they used in the can version. And the malt. Is that some type of baking malt? I've never used it before so I'm not even sure where to find it here in the U.S.....thanks again Chef Rik for yet another winning recipe. 😊❤
Thank you. There is a full recipe list in the description. Malt you can buy online or from a home brew shop. Its used in beer making. Best, Rik
Yup, made this last week and it came out perfect! Question, what do you do with the optional baking powder? Not that it really matters.
Wonderful! Just chuck it in with the dry - some use it some don't. Best, Rik
I have mine in the oven right now and I have never made it before I’m so nervous!
You got this. Thank you. Best, Rik
It's donkey's years since I ate that 🙂
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hmm! looks so delicious, I did buy malt extract at Holland and Barrett, unfortunately it is out of at the moment. The tin you are baking the loaf in, is it a 1lb tin?
You can get malt extract and black treacle from most home brew supply stores, assuming you are in the US?
Yes a standard (standard here) 22cm x 10cm x 7.5cm. Best, Rik
Got the amount of ingredients from another recipe which was identical many thanks
Thank you. Identical?? Best, Rik
I have never heard of this. It looks absolutely delicious. Did you drain that tea out of those raisins, or leave it in? I will be making this. Thanks for the vid Rik :)
I didn't. Leave it in - use the tea that the fruit hasn't absorbed. Best, Rik
Is there any substitute for the malt? Never heard of it & doubt I could find it. That loaf looks ‘to die for’!
Have you tried home brew shops, they will have it or get it - its used in making of beer. Best, Rik
Looks amazing, i love this but its so expensive now. I may make some and see how much it costs to make. Apart from it not lasting more than 2 days, it should be ok. 😂
I've no idea about the price. I just make it here. I had a Soreen malt loaf in the UK a year ago when I was there. Best, Rik
I can’t believe that if you turn a malt loaf 45 degrees you can cut it without turning it into a squidgy mess 😂
You must try it works. Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I will 😀 but on another note, Soreen used to make an incredible toastie malt loaf but have discontinued it. Do you know of a recipe for it?
Lovely recipe but how much roughly of each ingredient do we use to make this lovely loaf. 🤗
Can you not fine the ingredient list in the description, let me know. Thank you. Best, Rik
I used to make this using the recipe on the jar of malt extract. Then, they stopped putting the recipe on it & guess who hadn't written it down😂
Don't think I soaked the fruit in tea either, so I'll definitely have to try it.
I got put off buying the ready made version when I saw a loaf with an added bonus. I won't share😱. Suffice to say, not a normal ingredient
Ouch! This recipe makes a fantastic malt loaf - hope you give it a try. Best, Rik
Hi Rik, nice one again, Was wondering, can malt extract powder be used instead of liquid. I assume you got the malt at Makro? Cheers.
Yes, absolutely! Water it down. No mate the Malt extract came from a company called Bakermart in ChiangMai. I can give you the link www.cmbakermart.biz/en/home This is the ENG bit - type in the search box on their page. The malt extract is quality - Austrian. They do deliver - however I do not know the details of that - I've seen them on Lazada too! Good Luck. Best, Rik

Will do. Thanks. Best, Rik@@paulrogers5691
rik i wonder if this isnt like our brown bread you get in the U.S.A with the brand B& M ... they also have baked beans also to go with it...ours is steamed canned in a tin...you buy at th grocery store...
Hi Patty, I think it is very similar. Having had a couple of comments about Boston Baked beans and steamed bread in a can - I looked up the recipes. The bread is very similar indeed! Best, Rik
Do you do a cook book and how much
I haven't, David. Might do though I have many note books full. Best, Rik
Rik thank you for this recipe l heard you say add the baking soda to the fruit to soften it but when you mixed the flour and salt together you said once again to add the baking soda ....did you mean baking powder as the printed recipe said ....here in the UK they are two different things .... baking soda being bicarbonate of soda and the other the raising agent baking powder..... thank you for the hard work you put into these helpful videos all the best
Hi there, I used Baking soda in the fruit and the flour - Baking powder can be added too to help lift, not needed to be really honest. I amended the description to say optional. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you. Best, Rik
That would be very like a Belfast Veda ❤only without the fruit
Help me out here - I thought the Veda was more like bread. Do you know a recipe? Best, Rik
all ingredients already on the worktop so I'm back for another wee look at the procedure. Last time I made this it came out great, so I'm away copying you once again. 😀
You got this! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef it's come out great. It's a grand recipe, this. 😀
I made this today. Here is my input. FYI - I am in the US.
1. Like other folks said, this came out a lot like Boston Brown Bread. Except, Boston Brown Bread is steamed, not baked. As I was pouring the batter, I was thinking…this looks like it would come out good if it was steamed. I may try that next time!
2. Oven directions of 300F for 30 minutes is no where near enough time/temp to cook this in a conventional oven. Maybe 300F convection? Or, 350F conventional? I don’t know as I started with the 300f but had to crank it up at 30 minutes to 350f as it was not even half done. Took me one hour at that.
Definitely resulted in a good product in the end! Worth a try.
Thank you for the feedback very much appreciate that. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
Never heard of it here in the USA
You have now, Ronald. It's delicious! Best, Rik
What is the difference between Trickle and Molasses?
One pours just a little and the other quite a lot! Sorry! Treacle and molasses are very much the same - basically sugar boiled down until black and then more sugar added and cooked slow - Best, Rik

Do you have Homebrew shops? Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Yes we do. I didn't realize the stuff you used was the same thing.
Nice one - hope you can get it - I also have powder. The liquid I use is from Austria. Good luck! Best, Rik@@minuteman4199
It is almost impossible to find malt extract - I have tried for over a year. Even your link to it on amazon - out of stock and they have zero idea when it will be available. Have you any sources for it then. I have wanted to make similar loaves but cannot for the life of me find malt extract. Are you using a jar you have had for sometime and haven't had to try and buy it recently? Perhaps Soreen has cornered the market and all that is produced they get. Otherwise, loved the idea of this loaf.
Home brew stores carry it.
Home Brew shops. They will carry it. Not sure where you are located? I have powder and liquid - liquid for this recipe - Good Luck! Best, Rik
None of the Home Brew Shops here in eastern Idaho have Maple extract😢. Next I'm going to the local Budwieser barley processing plant and ask. I'm a serious sweet bread baker and I have to make this one.
@@cindystinson1296 why are you looking for maple extract? The recipe uses malt extract, not maple.
Ouch! Good Luck - best, Rik@@cindystinson1296
Leave that mix to sit overnight and it will ferment
Yes, very well! Don't add the flour stuff stick it in a tub with 1o gallons of water and you are on your way for a homebrew. Best, Rik
Baking and Brewing go hand in hand
@@BackyardChef you could leave the flour in , the wild yeast on the raisins will convert the starch to ethanol, interesting variation on sourdough starter
Great tip! Best, Rik@@seankane8628
what can i use if i do not or cannot get malt? can i use marmite?
Sorry no. Best, Rik
Hi Rick maybe you are too young to remember Harvo the original malt loaf! Far better than Soreen. Lovely recipe
I'm only a baby. Thank you. Best, Rik
Is malt syrup the same as malt extract?
Malt syrup and malt extract are related products, both derived from malted grains, typically barley, but they are not exactly the same. Malt extract comes in two forms: liquid (often referred to as liquid malt extract or LME) and dry (dry malt extract or DME). Malt syrup is a type of liquid malt extract, which is a thick syrup used in brewing, baking, and other food applications for its sweet, rich flavour. Both malt syrup and malt extract are made by soaking malted barley in water to extract the malt sugars and then concentrating the liquid by evaporation.
Malt syrup or liquid malt extract is used primarily in brewing beer as a sugar source for yeast fermentation. It is also used in the food industry as a sweetener or flavour enhancer in products like bread, bagels, and confections. Malt extract, whether in liquid or dry form, can be used interchangeably in many recipes, although the dry form has a longer shelf life and is easier to store and measure accurately.
In summary, while malt syrup is a form of malt extract, not all malt extracts are malt syrups. The main difference lies in the physical form and the specific application for which each product is best suited. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Thank you!… so for the malt bread recipe I’d be better off getting dry malt extract, mixing it with water for a liquid rather than using malt syrup?
Yes, I agree with you. Best, Rik@@brianeaton3734
ON THE DESCRIPTION, IT SAYS ADD 1 TSP OF BAKING POWDER, AS WELL AS 1/2 TSP OF BAKING SODA BUT ON THE VIDEO, YOU'VE ONLY MENTIONED, ADDING THE BAKING SODA BUT NOT THE BAKING POWDER, TO THE FLOUR. DO YOU ADD THE BAKING POWDER, AS WELL ? OR JUST THE BAKING SODA ?
