- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (105 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian

Ingredients
- 40 g Flour, all-purpose
- 10 g Sugar
- 8 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 17 g Milk, whole
- 1 g Yeast, active dry
- 8 g Raisins
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract
- 0.3 g Salt
- 0.3 g Lemon zest

Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply by 12 for a whole loaf. Warm most of the milk and dissolve the yeast and a pinch of the sugar in it; leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Beat the butter with the remaining sugar, egg, vanilla, salt and lemon zest, then mix in the yeast mixture and flour to a soft dough; knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

- Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 35-40 minutes until deep golden and it sounds hollow when tapped; cover loosely with foil if it browns too fast.
- Cool completely on a rack.
- Whisk the powdered sugar with the remaining milk to a thin glaze and drizzle over the top before slicing to serve.
