A delicious homemade raisin bread.

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 package active dry yeast
* 1/4 cup warm water
* 1 cup raisins
* 1/4 cup soft butter
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 cup scalded milk
* 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 eggs, beaten

PREPARATION:
Dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine raisins, butter,
sugar, salt, and hot milk; stir to dissolve the sugar. Let mixture cool
to lukewarm. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the flour; beat well. Add yeast
mixture and the beaten eggs; mix to blend well. Add enough of the
remaining flour to make a soft but stiff dough. Turn out onto a lightly
floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until dough is smooth
and elastic. Place dough in a lightly buttered bowl, turning once to
grease the surface. Cover with a clean dish cloth; let stand in a warm
place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down and
divide into 2 portions. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into 2
loaves; place in 2 greased 8x4x3-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise
again for about 45 to 60 minutes, until almost double. Bake at 375=B0
for 25 minutes, placing foil over loaves the last 10 minutes, if loaves
are getting too brown. Remove loaves from pans and let cool on racks.
