Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the bread flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and dry milk powder. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Melt the butter or margarine and combine it with the warm water. Pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients.
  3. Stir the mixture until it forms a sticky dough.
  4. Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, mixing until a soft, manageable dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat the top with grease. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
  7. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  8. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles.
  9. Knead in the raisins, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon until evenly distributed.
  10. Return the dough to the greased bowl, cover, and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  11. Punch down the dough again and shape it into a loaf.
  12. Place the loaf into a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch bread pan.
  13. Cover and let rise for a final 30 minutes, until the dough crowns the top of the pan.
  14. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  15. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
