Raisin Bread
1 cup (250 mL) warm water
1 tablespoon active yeast
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups strong white flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
Combine the warm water and yeast. Leave it for five minutes, until the surface is frothy.
Mix the remaining ingredients together in a big bowl. Slowly add the liquid to this and mix it gently until it is all incorporated.
Coat a clean bench with lots of flour, tip the mixture out, coat your hands in even more flour and begin kneading. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. It should be a little sticky, sort of tacky, but able to be handled without leaving bits of mixture all over your fingers.
Return the dough to the mixing bowl and cover. Let it rise until it is double in size. Turn the dough out onto the bench and knead it for 5 minutes. Shape it into a loaf, or place in a greased loaf tin.
Let it rise again until it is double in size. Heat the oven to 220 degrees celsius. and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes.
