Ready for a Treat?

How about some homemade raisin bread? (If you are gluten free, keep checking back. I’ve got some great stuff planned for you :).)

Whole grain raisin bread is a healthy and inexpensive breakfast or snack.

The Fresh Loaf, has the perfect post! It is complete with step by step pictures and directions.  I tested this recipe for you with 100% whole grain hard white wheat flour and it was great. (I weighed everything and used the same weight, not necessarily the same per cup.) The recipe calls for an unusually long second rise and I jumped the gun and baked it too early. It didn’t rise much after I put it in the oven. So my advice is to follow the directions exactly :).  One thing:  I had a hard time kneading in the raisins at the end.  They were flying out everywhere.  I wonder if it’s possible to add them when the dough is more wet?  I’ll try it next time.

    This raisin bread looks absolutely scrumptious! I just love raisin bread.
    For those who are on the go and cannot make their own, Monk’s bread has a great raisin bread. It may only be sold in stores in central & western New York State but well worth ordering on line. https://monksbread.com

    We’re spoiled here in Rochester NY. We can buy it in almost any grocery store.
