Everything about The Bath Bun totally explained
The
Bath bun is a rich, sweet
yeast dough shaped round that has a lump of sugar baked in the bottom and more crushed sugar sprinkled on top after baking. Variations in ingredients include candied fruit peel,
currants or larger
raisins or
sultanas.
The Bath bun is possibly descended from the 18th century 'Bath cake'. References to Bath buns date from 1763, and they're still produced in the
Bath area of
England. The original 18th century recipe used a
brioche or rich egg and butter dough which was then covered with
caraway seeds coated in several layers of
sugar similar to
French dragée. It is said to have been devised by Dr.
William Oliver who was a doctor treating visitors who came to Bath for the
spa waters. He later invented the biscuit, when Bath buns proved to be too fattening for his patients with
rheumatism.
It isn't to be confused with the
Sally Lunn bun which also comes from Bath.
