Irish Barmbrack Bread

Ingredients & Directions


1 1/2 LB LOAF
1 1/8 c Water 3/4 ts Ground allspice
3 c Bread flour 1 1/2 tb Butter
3 ts Gluten 2 tb Dry milk
1 1/2 ts Salt 2 ts Red Star Active Dry Yeast
3 tb Sugar 3/4 c Raisins
3/4 ts Dried lemon peel

Put all ingredients in bread pan in order of manufacturer directions.

This makes a dense medium size loaf (6-7 inches tall). For a fluffier
taller loaf, increase yeast to 2 1/2 teaspoons.

Have ingredients at room temperature. If necessary, warm water and
butter in microwave for 50-60 seconds on high.

For my Hitachi 101 add 1/4 cup raisins 4 minutes into first cycle.
Add remaining raisins just after resting period and as second
kneading begins.

Crust color: medium Bread Cycle: Bread or Mix Bread

This has been a successful loaf in my Hitachi B101. Other makes of
bread machines will have to make some changes according to their own
machines.

According to a close Irish friend, this does taste and look like the
bread that she grew up with in Ireland.
