Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Roll each into a 12-in. rope. Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid. Pinch ends to seal; tuck under. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. , Preheat oven to 375°. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Add the raisins to the scalded milk. Cover and cool for about 30 minutes, until lukewarm. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 81/2 by 4 1/2 inch pans, four 5 by 31/2 inch pans, or six 15- ounce cans. In a large bowl, beat the sugar with the butter. Add the cooled raisin mixture, the egg, and vanilla Mix well. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, rosemary, and nuts until well combined. Spoon the butter mixture all at once and stir just until combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans. If using cans, spoon the batter into them so that they are just over half full. Bake 8 1/2 inch loaves for 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours, 5-inch loaves for 35 to 40 minutes, or 15-ounce cans for 25 to 30 minutes or until well browned (the internal temperature should reach 190 degrees.) Cool 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and place loaves on a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• By Hand: Stir the yeast into the water in a large mixing bowl; let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the milk and oil. Combine the rosemary, salt, and flour and stir into the yeast mixture in 3 or 4 additions. Stir until the dough comes together. Knead on a floured surface until velvety, elastic, and smooth, 8 to 10 minutes. It should be somewhat moist and blistered.
• By Mixer: This recipe is slightly large for the mixer, so that you'll have to stop and push the dough down frequently while the mixer is kneading it. Stir the yeast into the water in a mixer bowl; let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the milk and oil with the paddle. Combine the rosemary, salt, and flour and add to the yeast mixture. Mix until the flour is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Change to the dough hook and knead on medium speed until velvety, elastic, smooth, and somewhat moist, about 3 minutes. Finish kneading briefly by hand on a lightly floured surface.
• First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Shaping and Second Rise: Gently punch the dough down on a lightly floured surface, but don't knead it. Cut the dough in half and shape each half into a round ball. Place the loaves on a lightly floured peel or lightly oiled baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let rise 45 to 55 minutes (but not until truly doubled).
• Heat oven to 450 degrees F. If you are using a baking stone, turn the oven on 30 minutes before baking and sprinkle the stone with cornmeal just before sliding the loaves onto it. Just before you put the loaves in the oven, slash the top of each loaf in an asterisk with a razor blade and sprinkle half the sea salt into the cuts of each loaf. Bake 10 minutes, spraying 3 times with water. Reduce the heat to 400 degrees F and bake 30 to 35 minutes longer. Cool completely on racks.
