Dissolve the yeast in a cup of lukewarm water with the sugar. Sift the flour into a baking bowl. Pour the dissolved yeast into a well and mix it with the flour. Gradually knead in the milk, butter, sugar, salt, and raisins. Dust with a little flour and cover. Let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. When the dough has doubled in size, knead briefly and place it in a greased loaf pan, cutting it lengthwise. Let it rest for another 10-15 minutes. Brush with a little milk and place it in the preheated oven on the bottom rack. Add half a cup of water. Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. Brush with another layer of milk after removing from the oven. Almonds can also be used instead of raisins. E: 200°C: Gas Mark 3-4
