Equipment

  • oven

Ingredients

  • 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup water warm
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup milk warm
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup Broken walnut

Instructions

  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
  • In a large bowl, combine the raisins, Broken walnut, butter, sugar, salt, and warm milk; stir to dissolve the sugar. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
  • Stir 1 1/2 cups of the flour into the milk mixture and beat until smooth.
  • Add the yeast mixture and the beaten eggs to the milk mixture and mix to blend well.
  • Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft but stiff dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Butter or oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the greased bowl. Turn it over to grease the entire surface of the dough.
  • Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it stand in a warm, draft-free place until it has doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Punch the dough down and divide it into two equal portions. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into two loaves and place them in two greased 8-by-4-inch loaf pans.
  • Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and let the loaves rise for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until the dough has almost doubled in bulk.
  • Bake at 375 F for 25 minutes. Place foil over the loaves for the last 10 minutes if they look overly brown.
  • Turn the bread out of the pan and onto a wire and let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
