3000-6500 Feet
PREP TIME:
2 hours 30 minutes
COOK TIME:
45-55 minutes
SERVINGS:
2 bread loaves
Ingredients
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F / 40-46°C)
5 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup butter or shortening, softened
1 3/4 cups milk
6 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup raisins sprinkled with 1 Tablespoon of flour
Directions
In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a stand mixer bowl, add the sugar, salt and butter. Pour in milk and quickly mix the wet ingredients together. Add 3 cups of the flour and mix well. Add the yeast mixture and mix until smooth.
Beat in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time along with the raisins, until the dough is moderately stiff and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Knead about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double - about 1 hour.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, punch it down and let rise again until doubled - about 1/2 hour. Knead gently and let rest for 5 minutes. Divide dough in half and shape into loaves. Place loaves in 2 greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled in size; about 1/2 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C) and bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190°F (87°C) in the center.
