This homemade raisin batter bread recipe is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. It yields a soft and moist bread with a touch of sweetness from the raisins. With simple ingredients and easy steps, you'll have a fresh loaf of bread in no time. Enjoy it on its own or with your favorite spread.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Fold in the raisins and knead for another minute to distribute them evenly.
  6. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and transfer the dough into it. Cover again and let it rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
