The Bath Bun is one of Britain’s Top Ten Bread choices. TasteAtlas reports, “Bath bun is a traditional English sweet bread roll originating from the town of bath, where “the rich and famous indulged in a Bath Bun after taking the waters,” explained Jane Eastoe in the National Trust Book of Bread
The buns are generally rounded and topped with nib sugar and currants on their highly glazed exterior. The texture is dense and close, while the flavor is lightly spiced and sweetened, with lump sugar underneath.
The Taste Atlas reports, “the dough for Bath buns is usually based on plain brioche dough or rich egg and butter dough with caraway seeds. Although there are disputes about the origins of these buns, the ones made from a recipe dating back to 1679 are still available in the town of Bath.”
This is a fun glimpse into the British version of sourdough baking from Jane Eastoe’s “National Trust Book of Bread,” including a recipe for a starter. We have included both metric and imperial measurements for your baking convenience.
