The first day of the rest of my loaf

Contains sultanas.

Last night, hiding from the bleak evening sunshine, I made another fruit loaf. It was going to be a normal loaf until I accidentally added two tablespoons of sugar to the mix instead of two teaspoons. But then, I thought, if I make it a fruit loaf then I know I'll eat it rather than normal bread, which I might not. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a good thing or not, as it means that I'll eat more bread, but as this bread is going to be replacing other higher-sugar things I'll try it for a while and see.

This is a cinnamon-free loaf, which means it's much paler, something also affected by the fact that I set it to 'light' rather than 'medium'. I definitely prefer this one to the first version, of which there is still some remaining (it seems to keep very well; I've probably got some folks coming over this evening so I'm considering serving up some of both). Oh, come to think of it I haven't tried it toasted yet; I must give that a go later.
