  • 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

  1. Cover the raisins with hot water and leave them for 15 minutes to plump up, then drain and pat them dry.
  2. Stir the yeast and a pinch of the sugar into the lukewarm milk and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
  3. 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.
  4. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour 15 minutes, until doubled.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Turn out and cool on a rack before slicing. Eat for breakfast in thick slices, plain or spread with butter.
