Orange and Raisin Plait Bread

Hey guys,

I love making bread and I found this recipe, which I have never tried before and I thought it could be quite a good recipe to have a go at. I hope you like it and thank you for all the views.

Ingredients: 
Inline image 1
250g of plain flour                                                    
25g of caster sugar
5 tsps of orange peel
2 packs of active dry yeast
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp of cinnamon or ground ginger
50ml of milk
5g of butter
12g of water
2 eggs
50g of raisins

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190C. In a bowl combine two cups of the flour, sugar, orange peel, yeast, salt and cinnamon or ginger.

2. In a small saucepan heat up the butter, milk and water until it is all combined and melted. Then take off the heat and combine with dry ingredient. When the mixture is cool enough to touch with your pinky finger so that when you add in the two eggs it doesn't curdle. Once you have added both of the eggs, stir in the raisins and then turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 mins.

3. Once you have kneaded the bread put it in a bowl and cover with cling film. Leave for an hour and a half  to prove at room temperature.

4. Punch the dough onto a floured work surface and knead for a minute. Split the dough into three equal balls and then roll it out into three sausage shapes. Then plait the three strands to make a plaited loaf and leave to rest for 30 mins covered in clingfilm.

5. Put on a baking tray and put in the oven for 45 mins so that when you tap it on the bottom it sounds hollow.

6. Leave to cool and if you want you can glaze with apricot jam.
