Belgian Raisin Bread Rosynenbrood For Abm Recipes

RAISIN BREAD I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
• In large bowl measure flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, and raisins. Stir thoroughly. Make a well in center.
• In small bowl beat egg until frothy. Mix in melted butter and milk. Pour into well. Stir just enough to moisten. Scrape into greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
• Bake in 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 1 hour. Serve plain or toasted with butter.

CINNAMON RAISIN AND APPLE BREAD (ABM / MACHINE)

Steps:

• Remove pan from bread machine and place on electronic scales and zero them.
• Pour in the water (240ml water weighs 240 grams) and weigh in the rest of the dough ingredients in order.
• Replace the pan in the bread machine and start machine on a raisin or equivalent 'speciality' setting. I prefer 'normal' crust for this.
• In small bowl weigh the raisins and dried mixed citrus peel. Add the spices and mix together.
• Into a second small bowl, peel about 1/3 of an average size eating apple (I usually have Braeburn apples handy but pretty much any apple is fine except the tasteless ones like Golden Delicious and Gala). Chop into small chunks somewhere between roughly 1/4 and 1/3 inch in size. Once in the bowl, sprinkle with another teaspoon of ground cinnamon and stir with spoon to cover the bits well (to take the moistness off the sides of apple bits so they mix in better).
• Add dried fruit & spice mix at 4 minutes before end of final kneading or at the beep if you trust your machine not to mash the fruit like mine always does. (My LG machine beeps nine minutes before end of final kneading which is far too soon - it can reduce dried fruit to the size of grains of sugar during that time!).
• If you trust your machine not to mash the apple then you could maybe add it a minute or so before kneading finishes. I don't trust mine in the slightest so here's what I do --
• Wash hands in very cold water and dry well just before the final kneading completes then --.
• -- when kneading has completed, quickly add the chopped apple and quickly mix it well by hand. (Shouldn't need to remove pan from bread machine to do this (unless it's in an awkward place! :).
• Slightly more stuff to do for this loaf than usual, but it's absolutely worth it!

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.

KRENTENBROOD VAN BAKKER VEERMAN (CURRANT AND RAISIN BREAD)

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.

BANANA NUT RAISIN BREAD FOR ABM

Steps:

• Place milk, butter, bananas (no need to mash, the machine will do it for you!), flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and yeast in the AMB, in the order the manufacturer recommends (I did it in the order listed).
• Select basic setting, press start. If your bread machine has a fruit/ nut setting add the raisins and nuts at the signal, or around 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished.

VANILLA RAISIN BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Select basic or SWEET setting.
• Special Notes: The recipe calls for 2 tsp of yeast, but I find this way too much yeast- blows the top off the machine!
• This makes a 1 1/2 lb loaf which basically fills my 2 lb machine.
• DO use pure vanilla extract for best results.
• If you don't have the time to soak the raisins ahead of time (I never do) just microwave the raisins and vanilla for 1 minute on high or med-high in a micro-safe bowl.

• Beat in the raisins on the lowest speed (if necessary, plump the raisins in hot water to soften, drain, pat dry and add).
• Scrape the dough into a buttereed bowl and turn the dough over so that the top is buttered.
• Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise til doubled, about an hour.
• Meanwhile butter a loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment.
• After the dough is risen, scrape it onto a floured board.
• Press the dough into a rectangle brush off any excess flour; stretch th dough into a rectangle and then fold like a business letter about the length of your loaf pan.
