Jircitano Easter Raisin Bread Bread Machine Manual Style Recipes

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients in order given except the raisins.
• Add raisins in on the "add in" beep.
• Bake on "sweet bread" setting.

Steps:

• Add in order given above to bread machine. Process for dough cycle. Roll and shape into braided rings. Let rise. Bake at 340 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes.
• This bread can also have colored raw eggs put in the braids before baking. They will cook to hard boiled egg stage. After baking, cool and frost with 2 cups powdered sugar mixed with approximately 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, then sprinkle with non-pareils.

Steps:

• Combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl.
• Combine next 3 ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Put them together, knead the bugger out of it (about 20 minutes).
• Let it rest, and go rest yerself. Let it double in a warm place.
• Add the raisins. Knead a little, mixing in the raisins, then shape into loaves. (The full recipe makes 8 large or 16 small braided loaves).
• Let the loaves rise, covered, until doubled.
• Bake at 325F for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Firstly, mix the flour, milk powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon together thoroughly in a mixing bowl making sure there are no lumps.
• Now add the luke warm water and butter into the bread machine. (I divide the butter into four pieces and put one in each corner of the pan for easier mixing).
• Then add the dry mixed ingredients into the pan. Make a small well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the yeast.
• Set the Bread Maker / Machine to 'Sweet Bread' setting and wait for it to 'BEEP' (approx 15 minutes) before adding the raisins.
• Wait until cooked and enjoy fresh or toasted with butter -- YUM !
• ** If the mixture is too dry while mixing you can add a tablespoon of water. Alternatively if its too moist, a tablespoon of flour should sort it out nicely. **.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients, except raisins, in the order given above, or as directed in your bread machine manual. Set the bread maker on Sweet Dough setting.
• Add the raisins at the signal, or about 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished.

Steps:

• Mix according to your manufactures instructions.
• Adding the anise seeds after first kneading and signal.
• Add flour if needed or drop of milk if needed upon mixture, to form a nice soft ball of dough.
• Place on sweet bread setting dark crust.

Steps:

• Place ingredients into bread pan in the order suggested by your bread machine manufacturer. I put the raisins in after the beep or after the first knead to avoid the bread machine going all HULK SMASH! on them, but it is up to you.
• Oh yeah, bake on white.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except raisins to breadmaker in a way that works for you and your particular breadmaker. I like to add all the liquids first then the dry ingredients on top.
• Set breadmaker to do a manual/dough cycle (sweet bread).
• Check after 5 minutes of kneading. If dough is very sticky, add a small handful of flour. If it's very dry, add a little water. Check again after a few minutes and adjust until you get a nice dough texture.
• When cycle completes, remove dough from machine and place on a kneading surface.
• Add the raisins. Knead a little, mixing in the raisins.
• Shape into loaves. This recipe makes 2 large or 4 small braided loaves.
• Place loaves on baking sheets, allowing enough room for loaves to double in size.
• Let the loaves rise, covered, until doubled.
• Bake at 325F for 30 minutes.
