Steps:

In a bowl add together your bran, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, strawberrys and sultanas. Give a light mix. Then leave overnight or until the bran has lost original form
Once the bran has absorbed the milk, and has gone like a mushy texture, you can the add your self raising flour and sugar. Mix altogether until all combined with other ingredients
Put the mixture into buttered, medium sized loaf tin or something similar to this
Place into a pre heated oven ( 160 degrees c) for 25-30 minutes. Keep testing the minture though!!! You will know it is cooked if you insert a knike blade and when pulled out it is clean.
Allow to cool then slice and enjoy with butter, or its even yummy on its own
