Rasin Bread
- 2 pkgs active dry yeast
- 3 eggs
- 7 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 cup lukewarm milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnimon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- Disolve the yeast into the warm water and add the sugar. Let sit for
- five minutes. Add to this the warm milk, shortening, salt, cinnamon,
- nutmeg, eggs, and one half of the flour. Mix until smooth. Then add
- raisins and more flour, but only enough to make the dough easy to handle.
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured board and kneed until smooth
- and elastic (approximately five minutes). Put the dough into a greased
- bowl. Then turn it over to place the greased side of the dough up. Cover
- and let it rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size roughly
- one to one and a half hours.
- When the dough has risen to double its size, punch it down. Divide it
- into two parts. Take each of the parts and roll it into the size of a
- nine inch loaf pan. Fold under each end to seal it and place the sealed
- side down in the loaf pan. Cover both loaves and let them rise until
- doubled. (Approximately one hour).
- Bake until golden brown. Immediately remove from pans and cover with
- a cloth while they cool.
