Quick Bread

By jeenikeen

This quick bread goes really well with a bowl of hot soup or long-simmered stew.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups Milk
• 1/2 cup plain Yogurt
• 4 cups unbleached bread flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup raisins

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, milk and yogurt.Set aside at room temperature.

In a second bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients into it. Mix with a wooden spoon.

Add raisins and mix well.

Turn the dough out on a work surface and knead 1 minute.

Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Using a serrated knife, cut a deep X in the top of each loaf.

Bake in the middle of the oven for about 50 minutes or until a paring knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Transfer to a rack and cool 15 minutes before serving.
