Ingredients

  • 7 cups bread flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 1/2 cups water (110-115°F)
  • 2 (0.25oz each) packages (14g) or 4 1/2 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 6 tablespoons shortening (or room temperature butter)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten (room temperature)
  • 1 cup raisins

Instructions

  • Add flour, sugar, salt and ginger to a large bowl; whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Add warm water and yeast to a stand mixer bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Add the shortening, eggs, and 1/2 of the flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, beat 2 minutes on medium speed until smooth. Add the remaining flour mixture and raisins; mix on low speed until smooth, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Scrape down batter from sides of bowl. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes.
    (NOTE: For hand mixing- following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk.)
  • Meanwhile grease two 9×5-inch OR 8½x4½-inch loaf pans.
  • Beat down raised batter in about 25 strokes using a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Note that this is a thick, somewhat sticky batter. Spread evenly in the prepared pans. Tap pans on table to settle the batter. Cover; let rise only until edges of batter come to within 1-inch of top of large pans or reach top of smaller pans; about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until well browned on sides and top. Remove from pan and cool on rack. Brush with butter for softer crust, if desired.

I’m looking for a raisiny (lots of raisins) bread recipe with out spices. Or can you just leave out spices? I like plain raisin toast. The spices can go in my rolls.
