BELGIAN RAISIN BREAD (ROSYNENBROOD) FOR ABM

Steps:

• Try to use very moist raisins. If they are dried out, place them in a colander, pour about 1 quart of boiling water over them, and let them drain at least 30 minutes. (Hmm, I wonder if you soaked the raisins in rum overnight, drained the raisins, reserving the rum to substitute for some or all of the water -- Might not be Belgian, but would be good!).
• Add all ingredients except the raisins in the order recommended by your bread machine manual and process on the bread cycle according to the manufacturer's directions.
• At the beeper (or at the end of the first kneading in the Panasonic, Sanyo and National brands), add the raisins.
• Let cool completely before slicing.

HOMEMADE CINNAMON-RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour, rice flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in the yeast mixture. With the machine running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until a ball of dough forms. Remove the paddle attachment and attach a dough hook. (If a dough hook attachment isn't available, the dough can also be kneaded by hand for 15 minutes on a lightly floured work surface.) Mix on medium-low speed for 10 minutes (scraping the sides of the bowl, if necessary). Add the walnuts and raisins and continue to mix until the dough is smooth and springs back when pushed with a finger, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a draft-free area at room temperature (about 85 degrees F) until the dough has puffed slightly, about 2 hours.
• Butter and flour the inside and outer rim of an 8 1/4 by 4 1/2-inch nonstick loaf pan. Punch the center of the dough to deflate it. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for 3 minutes. Form the dough into an 8 by 4-inch rectangle and place in the prepared loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a draft-free area at room temperature until the dough rises about 2 inches above the top of the pan, about 2 hours.
• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap and bake the loaf until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Wrap well in plastic and store at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Soak currants and raisins in a bowl of warm water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels; stir in candied peel.
• Sift flour and cinnamon into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour. Add yeast and sugar to the well; pour in 1/4 cup lukewarm water. Let stand until yeast begins to foam, about 5 minutes.
• Stir remaining 3/4 cup lukewarm water, milk, eggs, and salt into the flour mixture until dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Add currant mixture; knead until evenly incorporated and dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans lightly with butter. Flatten dough gently and shape into 2 loaves. Place 1 loaf in each pan and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until puffy, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake loaves in the preheated oven until firm and dark brown, about 45 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing, about 1 hour.

SOURDOUGH RAISIN WALNUT BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except raisins and walnuts, into bread machine pan, in order that they are listed. Process on dough setting. When the machine beeps for additions, add the raisins and walnuts (or around 3-5 minutes before the end of the kneading cycle.).
• When cycle is complete, remove dough to lightly floured surface and shape into 2 round loaves (or one large loaf, your choice.).
• Place round loaves on cornmeal coated cookie sheet, cover and let rise until bread has doubled in size. Be patient, sourdough without the addition of commercial yeast can take up to several hours to rise - mine typically takes three hours.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes (30-40 if making one loaf.) Cool on wire rack.
• NOTE: To proof your starter, feed it with equal parts of flour and lukewarm water, then let it sit overnight or up to 12 hours, covered. This is what develops the characteristic sour flavor and the longer the proof, the sourer it will be. If you start with 1 cup of starter and feed it 1 cup each of water and flour, you should have enough to make your bread and save the rest to start your next batch.
