Ingredients:




-------------------------------1
1/2 LB LOAF-------------------------------


 1 1/8 c  Water


     3 c  Bread flour


     3 ts Gluten


 1 1/2 ts Salt


     3 tb Sugar


   3/4 ts Dried lemon peel


   3/4 ts Ground allspice


 1 1/2 tb Butter


     2 tb Dry milk


     2 ts Red Star Active Dry Yeast


   3/4 c  Raisins






 Put all ingredients in bread pan in order of manufacturer directions.


 


 This makes a dense medium size loaf (6-7 inches tall). For a fluffier


 taller loaf, increase yeast to 2 1/2 teaspoons.


 


 Have ingredients at room temperature.  If necessary, warm water and butter


 in microwave for 50-60 seconds on high.


 


 For my Hitachi 101 add 1/4 cup raisins 4 minutes into first cycle. Add


 remaining raisins just after resting period and as second kneading begins.


 


 Crust color: medium Bread Cycle: Bread or Mix Bread


 


 This has been a successful loaf in my Hitachi B101. Other makes of bread


 machines will have to make some changes according to their own machines.


 


 According to a close Irish friend, this does taste and look like the bread


 that she grew up with in Ireland.
