DUTCH-OVEN RAISIN WALNUT BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk 6 cups flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon and salt. Stir in raisins and walnuts; add water and enough remaining flour to form a moist, shaggy dough. Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a cool place until doubled, 7-8 hours., Preheat oven to 450°; place a Dutch oven with lid onto center rack and heat for at least 30 minutes. Once Dutch oven is heated, turn dough onto a generously floured surface. Using a metal scraper or spatula, quickly shape into a round loaf. Gently place on top of a piece of parchment., Using a sharp knife, make a slash (1/4 in. deep) across top of loaf. Using the parchment, immediately lower bread into heated Dutch oven. Cover; bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until loaf is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, 20-30 minutes longer, partially covering if browning too much. Remove loaf from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

RAISIN WALNUT ROSEMARY BREAD

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.

RAISIN WALNUT BREAD FAST2EAT

Steps:

• Attach the kneading blade to the Bread Maker pan.
• Place ingredients into the bread pan following the recipe order (or following the order and method specified in your Bread Maker manual - mine is: FIRST, liquid ingredients; SECOND, dry ingredients; LAST, yeast). Note: With a finger or a knife, make a small indentation in the middle of the flour. Add yeast to indentation, making sure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients. If you are using the delay timer, add walnuts and raisins after the flour.
• Carefully insert bread pan into Bread Maker and gently close the lid.
• Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. Select the "Sweet" bread setting. If available, choose crust colour (I usually set Medium, but if you prefer, set Light or Dark) and loaf size (1.5LB) and Press the Start button.
• Caution: Do not use Delay Timer* for recipes with ingredients that can spoil, like eggs or milk. More information at: "Using the Delay Timer".
• Open the lid, and while using Oven Mitt, firmly grasp the bread pan handle and gently pull the pan straight up and out of the machine. CAUTION: The Bread Maker and pan may be very hot! Always handle with care.
• Use non-stick Spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
• Turn the bread pan upside down onto a Wire Cooling Rack or clean cooking surface and gently shake until bread falls out onto the rack.
• Cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
• To make perfect slices every time use a Bread Slicer.

MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
• *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!

RAISIN WALNUT WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl or mixer bowl, add the whole wheat flour and the non-flour dry ingredients.
• Pour in the hot water and add the shortening.
• Beat with a wooden spoon 150 strokes or with the mixer flat blade for 2 minutes.
• Stir in the fruit and nuts.
• Add the flour slowly, mixing with a wooden spoon and then by hand until a rough, soft mass is formed. If using a mixer, use dough hook and add flour until dough forms a soft ball around the hook and moves with it.
• Knead for 10 minutes, adding flour if too wet and a little water if too dry.
• Place dough in a clean, oiled bowl and let it rise until doubled in volume. Another test is when a finger poked into it leaves a dent that remains.
• Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and gently roll into 3 strands, 20 inches long. If the dough resists stretching, cover and wait 10 minutes until the dough relaxes. The strands should be tapered at the ends.
• Braid the strands loosely and seal the ends, tucking them under.
• Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in volume at room temperature. I place the loaf in the fridge overnight and the next day I let it warm and rise for about and hour and a half.
• Heat oven to 375F about 20 minutes before baking.
• Bake on a baking stone or baking sheet for about 30 minutes or until 200F internal temperature and remove and cool on a wire rack.
• Mix the topping ingredients and spread or drizzle on the loaf while the loaf is still slightly warm.
