As promised i have here the second recipe for the unique bread that i was talking about in my last post. It is great to enjoy the smell of freshly baked bread. Being a raisn bread it has a sweet fragnance when you bake these breads.

Ingredients

Bread flour 6.2lb

Rye four 2.4lb

Rye sour dough 7.5oz

Sugar 10oz

Salt 2.5oz

Milk 5pint

Yeast 5oz

Butter 18oz

Raisin 2lb

Pecan/Walnuts 2lb

Method

• Pass the flour dough, rye flour though a fine mesh
• Add the sugar salt and yeast to the flour and mix it thoroughly (make sure that the salt goes in first and mix it to the flour before adding yeast, as yeast will not raise if salt is added over the yeast. As salt can kill the yeast)
• Place in the mixing bowl and add the butter let bind and then add the milk and the rye sour dough.
• Once it is mixed throughly add in the raisin and the nuts and mix it.
• Devide into 1lb torpedo shapes and bake it in the oven at 350*F
