- Flatten the dough and gently knead in the crystallised stem ginger. Form into a loaf shape, place in a lightly greased 23x12cm (9x5 in) loaf tin. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5.
- Just before baking, slash top with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar if desired.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove bread to a wire rack to cool before serving.

Nice looking, moist loaf. However, ginger a little overbearing. Probably wouldn't make again. - 14 Oct 2014
This was just gorgeous..everyone loved it and it was easy to make. - 22 Aug 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I just enjoyed one of the most delicious pieces of toast I've ever had. The ginger and lemon were subtle but really added something special. I heeded the comment of another reviewer who wanted more lemon flavor, so I added a few drops of lemon oil. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, using the dough setting on my bread machine, and adding the crystallized ginger early in the first kneading process. Can't wait to try a PB&J on this yummy bread. - 29 May 2014 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
