Author's Notes

For extra plump raisins, soak them in hot water for 10-15 minutes and drain well prior to adding to the dough.

Makes 1 loaf.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook stir together Water (1/2 cup), Brown Sugar (1/3 cup) and Active Dry Yeast (2 tsp). Allow to proof for 7-8 minutes.
step 2
Stir in Raisins (1 cup), Vegetable Oil (4 Tbsp), Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (2) and yolks of the other Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (2) to the proofed mixture.
step 3
To this mixture add 2 cups of the All-Purpose Flour (2 1/4 cups), Salt (1 tsp), Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1 Tbsp), and Ground Cardamom (as needed). Begin kneading, allowing all the flour to be absorbed.
step 4
Add remaining 1/2 cup of Flour gradually until dough begins to pull away from the sides and is smooth, about 7-8 minutes. The dough will be a little sticky but you should be able to handle it without additional flour.
step 5
Lightly oil a large bowl and turn out dough into bowl flipping to coat sides. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise in a draft-free area for 90 minutes. (It will not appear to be double in size).

step 6
Remove dough and knead a few times to punch out the air. Divide dough into 3 equal portions of approximately 300g each. Allow dough to rest for about 5 minutes. This helps relax the dough and will make it easier to roll into logs.
step 7
Line a large baking tray with parchment.
step 8
Roll each third into a 14-inch long log. Lay the 3 logs parallel to each other on the baking tray.

step 10
Cover loaf with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise in a draft free area for 45 minutes.
step 11
Before the dough is done rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 12
In a small bowl whisk together the final whole Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Egg (1) and Cream (1 Tbsp). Brush generously on the loaf and sprinkle with Coarse Sugar (to taste).
step 13
Bake for approximately 32 minutes until golden and an internal temperature of 195 degrees F (90 degrees C) is reached.
step 14
Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack. Allow to cool prior to slicing.
