How to make whole wheat raisin bread

If you don't cook at home, the house will inevitably feel a little lonely. If a couple doesn't even eat together every day, their relationship is more likely to have problems. Therefore, even if you are busy at work, it is best to cook at home. Whole wheat raisin bread is simple to make and will not take up too much of the cook's time.

1. Mix all the ingredients except raisins and knead until the dough can be stretched into a thin film. When the weather is cold, you can first take half of the water in the recipe (warm water around 40 degrees is best), dissolve the yeast, and let it stand for 20 minutes. I knead the dough by hand and it takes about 40 minutes to form a film. After kneading, add raisins and knead for two minutes until combined.

2. Place the kneaded dough in a warm place and let it ferment until it is 2-2.5 times larger.

3. Take out the fermented dough, deflate it, and relax it for 15 minutes. Use a rolling pin to roll it into an oval shape, roll it into an olive shape from top to bottom, put it into a baking tray, and put it in the oven to ferment until it is twice as large. Usually about an hour. Without turning on the oven, place a large bowl of hot water in it. (If the weather is particularly cold, you can turn on the oven fermentation function)

4. Use a sharp knife to cut three 0.5 cm deep slits on the fermented dough. Sift a small amount of flour for decoration. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 30 minutes until brown.

5. The baked bread has a crispy crust, soft inside and a strong wheat flavor. If you can’t finish it, keep it sealed. Do not refrigerate.

Even if not for ourselves, we should still cook for the sake of our family's health. Whole wheat raisin bread is simple to make and is also good for health.
