How to Make Bishop’s Bread
The creation of this recipe is halfway between a cake and a loaf of bread. The bishop’s bread is soft and luxuriant enough to be termed a cake. The smell of it baking is strong enough to arouse everyone from bed in the morning with hopes of a slice. And the incentive of getting bishop bread as a dessert is compelling enough for the children to finish all their vegetables. It is that appealing of a treat. It looks rich and it tastes richer. The bread can also be given as a gift to friends and family because it can be stored for long. With additions of walnuts, cherries, raisins, and chips, who can doubt its taste.
