Ingredients
Method
1.In a medium jug, combine milk, water, cream, yeast, sugar and salt. Cover and set aside in a warm place 8-10 minutes, until frothy.
2.Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, honey, zest and vanilla seeds together until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sultanas and peel to sifted flour. Fold through yeast mixture and flour alternatively, beginning and ending with flour.
3.Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and set aside in a warm place, 1 hour, until doubled in size.
4.Preheat oven to very hot, 220°C. Lightly grease and line 8 x 9cm-round, 8cm-deep pans with baking paper, allowing paper to extend 2cm above edge.
5.Punch dough down once to release gas. Knead lightly. Divide into 8 equal balls. Place into pans. Prove a further 20 minutes.
6.Brush tops with extra cream. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven to moderate, 180°C, and continue baking a further 15-20 minutes, until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Serve with brandy butter.
