Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 500 g flour, type 550
  • 250 g milk
  • 80 g sugar
  • 30 g yeast, fresh
  • 1 m.-sized egg(s)
  • 5 g salt
  • 50 g butter
  • 100 g raisins
  • Oil, for the mold
  • Breadcrumbs , for the form
  • Butter, for spreading

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 3 hours

Stir the yeast into a quarter of the milk until smooth. Dissolve 50g of butter in the remaining milk. Do not allow to get too hot. Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Mix the egg and sugar in it. Lightly coat the raisins in flour in a small bowl. Add the yeast dissolved in the milk, the milk with butter, the salt, and the raisins, then knead well. Knead by hand for 5 minutes. The dough should now be about body temperature from the warm milk and the kneading. Close or cover the bowl and wrap it in a towel and let it rise at room temperature for about an hour, until it has doubled in size. Knead the dough again and shape it into a loaf pan approximately 30x10cm. Grease the pan with oil and dust with breadcrumbs. Depending on the height of the pan, cover with a damp tea towel or a roof of aluminum foil and let it rise for another hour. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes. Brush with butter immediately after removing it from the oven. After a short wait, let it cool completely on a wire rack. Tastes great spread with quark and jam.
