Servings 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 200 ml water
- 340 g strong white bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 20 g butter
- 2.5 tsp S&P even-rise dried yeast
- 15 g S&P flour booster
- 50 g S&P currant bun mix
- 150 g raisins or currants
- optional for glaze:
- 25 g butter melted
Instructions
- Pour the water into the bread machine pan. Add fresh yeast and sugar. Sprinkle in the flour, covering the water. Add the salt, butter, flour booster and currant bun mix.
- Set the bread machine to the basic/normal setting. Add raisins when machine beeps. Remove bread at the end of the baking cycle and turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
- OR: Set the bread machine to the dough setting and press start. Add the raisins when the machine beeps. If your machine doesn’t have this facility, add them 5 minutes before the end of the kneading period. When the cycle has finished, remove dough, place on a lightly floured surface and shape into a loaf or rolls and place into/onto baking tin.
- Leave in a warm place to rise for an hour or until almost doubled in size (this bread rises slower than normal bread). Preheat oven to 160˚C and bake for 25 minutes, or 20 minutes for rolls. Option: brush the melted butter over the loaf/rolls as soon as they come out of the oven, for a shiny glaze.Turn onto wire rack to cool. Serve sliced with butter.
