EASY BERRY BREAD

Ingredients......375gm of self raising flour, 1 and 1/2 tsp of ground mixed spice, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 and 1/2 tbs of castor sugar, 30gm of butter/ marg, 170ml of water, 125ml of milk, 200gm of fresh raspberries, 1 extra tbs of castor sugar, 1 tbs of milk. Preheat your oven to 220 deg C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Mix together the flour, mixed spice and baking powder into a bowl. Now add the sugar and use your fingertips to rub in the butter/marg until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre of the mixture, then use a round ended knife to mix in the water and milk to form a soft dough. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into two portions and flatten each round into two portions 7"/ 18cm round. Scatter the raspberries and the 1 tbs of castor sugar over the surface of one round, leaving 1"/ 2.5 cm edge. Brush the edge with a little of the milk and place the remaining dough round on top. Secure the edges using your fingertips to seal the rounds together. Place the dough on the prepared oven tray. Brush the surface of the loaf with the remaining milk. Place in the preheated oven on 220 deg C and bake for 10 minutes before reducing the oven temperature to 180 deg C and bake for a further 25 minutes or until golden and cooked.
