A dark, sweet, moist loaf made with malt extract, black treacle, and dried vine fruits such as raisins and sultanas. Malt bread, exemplified by the Yorkshire-born Soreen brand, has a dense, sticky crumb and a distinctive malty sweetness. It is traditionally sliced and spread with butter, making a popular snack and lunchbox item. The malt extract contributes B vitamins and minerals along with flavour, though the loaf remains high in sugar. Its keeping quality is good, staying moist for days. Malt bread occupies a unique place between bread and cake in British baking tradition.
