- Preparation: 170 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (71.7 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 12 g Raisins
- 30 g Flour, plain
- 12 g Milk, whole, lukewarm
- 0.4 g Yeast, dried
- 3 g Sugar
- 0.3 g Salt
- 6 g Egg
- 6 g Butter, soft
- 2 g Egg yolk, to glaze
Method
- Cover the raisins with hot water and leave them for 15 minutes to plump up, then drain and pat them dry.
- Stir the yeast and a pinch of the sugar into the lukewarm milk and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the flour with the rest of the sugar and the salt, add the yeasty milk and the beaten egg and knead for 5 minutes. Add the soft butter a little at a time and knead for 10 minutes more, until the dough is smooth, shiny and elastic.
- Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour 15 minutes, until doubled.
- Knock back the dough on a floured surface and knead in the raisins gently, just until they are evenly spread. Shape it into a loaf and lay it in a buttered loaf tin. Cover and leave to rise for 45 minutes, until it domes above the tin.
- Heat the oven to 180 °C. Brush the top with the egg yolk, beaten with a few drops of water, and bake for 35-40 minutes, until deep golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped underneath. Cover loosely with foil if it browns too fast.
- Turn out and cool on a rack before slicing. Eat for breakfast in thick slices, plain or spread with butter.
