If you didn't already know, this week (23rd-29th March 2015) is Meat Free Week in the UK and Australia. Cutting down on meat and eating responsibly sourced meat, fish and dairy is something I feel is really important. So, I thought I'd make this week's recipe a simple vegetarian treat (you can find more meat-free dishes on the blog here) to support the campaign.

Most bread making involves kneading until you break into a sweat, but not this lovely sweet apple and nut bread. It would make a lovely weekend treat - perfect for breakfast, toasted with a pot of tea (or coffee).

Watch the video to see how it's done!

This bread keeps very well for several days and is very good toasted.
