Raisin-Almond Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
-
Mix and Activate:
In a bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with the active dry yeast. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, gently stir together water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt over low heat until the butter melts. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. -
-
Create the Dough Base:
Add the flour and yeast mixture to the saucepan. Gradually incorporate the remaining flour, along with the raisins, almonds, and eggs. Be prepared for the dough to become delightfully stiff. -
Knead to Perfection:
Transfer the dough onto a floured board and knead until it reaches a smooth and elastic consistency, ensuring that the raisins are evenly distributed throughout. -
Prepare the Baking Vessels:
Coat the inside of two 1-pound coffee cans with a small amount of oil. You can use a non-stick spray like Pam for added convenience. -
Divide and Conquer:
Divide the dough in half and place each portion into its designated coffee can. Cover the cans with plastic tops and let them rise in a warm place until the dough reaches about 1″ from the top. -
Unveil the Rising Glory:
Remove the plastic tops and behold the beautifully risen dough, eagerly awaiting its transformation in the oven. -
Bake to Golden Splendor:
Preheat your oven to a toasty 375°F. Place the cans inside and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until the top of the bread sounds hollow when gently tapped. -
Indulge in Freshly Baked Bliss:
Once baked to perfection, let the loaves cool for a bit before slicing into thick, irresistible pieces. Your Raisin-Almond Bread is now ready to steal the spotlight at any gathering or family breakfast! 🌟🍞
