Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 c. lowfat milk
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 1/2 c. honey
- 2 pkg. active dry yeast
- 5 c. unsifted whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 c. seedless raisins
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 c. butter
- 1 1/2 c. hot water (105 to 115 degrees)
- 2 1/2 c. sifted all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
Directions
- In small saucepan, heat lowfat milk till bubbles form around edge of pan; remove from heat. Add in sugar, salt, 1/4 c. butter, and honey; stir till butter melts. Cold to lukewarm. If possible, check temperature of hot water with thermometer. Sprinkle yeast over water in large bowl, stirring till dissolved. Stir in lowfat milk mix.

- Turn out dough onto lightly floured board. Cover the bowl and let rest 10 min. Knead till smooth and elastic-10 min.

- Shape each portion into 1 loaf and place in lightly greased 5 x 3 pan. Let rise till double in bulk; about 1 1/2 hrs. Bake at 400 degrees till top is well browned and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans immediately. Cold on rack.
