RUM RAISIN BREAD



Rum Raisin Bread image

I absolutely love fresh homemade bread. And I love using my bread machine to knead the dough. However, I've never had much luck baking bread in it, that is until this bread. This bread is soft, tender and fresh, just the way I love it. I love thrift store shopping and I found a "new" bread machine baking cookbook for $1. It...

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 to 1 c raisins
2 Tbsp dark rum (i used myers's rum dark original)
1 large egg, room temperature
1 1/4 c milk (80 degrees f/27 degrees c)
4 1/2 c unbleached white bread flour
3 Tbsp sugar
1/4 c butter, softened
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 1/2 tsp rapid-rise active dry yeast

Steps:

  • 1. Here is a link for "How to Make Bread Machine Recipes by Hand". Hope it helps: http://dontwastethecrumbs.com/2012/10/simple-conversion-how-to-make-bread-machine-recipes-by-hand/#.UOxBXs2t2Zs.pinterest
  • 2. Soak raisins at least 2 hours in rum to plump the raisins (soak longer if you have time).
  • 3. Add egg and milk to bread pan; cover liquid completely with flour.
  • 4. To each corner of pan and on top of the flour, start adding sugar in one corner, salt in another corner, butter and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the flour and add yeast.
  • 5. I used the 2 lb loaf setting, selected fruit and nuts and started the machine. Add raisins when prompted or after the 1st kneading. My machine does not prompt for adding raisins or nuts so I had to listen for that 1st kneading.
  • 6. This bread rose to the very top of my machine. So, the last 10 minutes of baking time I lifted the top/lid slightly and placed a spoon under the lid to keep it up above the bread so the top would dry and brown. Honestly this is the best bread I've ever made by baking it in the bread machine.
  • 7. Pat Duran has tested this bread by making by hand. So if you don't have a bread machine check out Pat's version of this wonderful bread: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/bread-sweet-bread/raisin-rum-bread.html?cpage=2#comment1486672

RUM RAISIN BREAD



Rum Raisin Bread image

This bread is a little richer and sweeter than the usual raisin bread. For best results, soak the raisins in rum overnight and measure the raisins after soaking.

Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h30m

Yield 1 1pound loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons rum
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup water
2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon powdered milk
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, pour rum over raisins, let stand 30 minutes, drain.
  • Place ingredients in the order recommended by manufacturer.
  • Use the regular setting for a 1 pound loaf.
  • If your machine has a fruit setting, add the raisins at the signal, or 5 minutes before kneading cyle has finished.

Tips:

  • To achieve a rich, indulgent rum flavor, opt for dark or spiced rum. Light rum can be used, but it will impart a milder flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a softer, more moist bread, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which helps create a stronger gluten structure, resulting in a chewier texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Soak the raisins in rum for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the batter. This will help plump up the raisins and prevent them from becoming dry and hard in the bread.
  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking to create a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Rum raisin bread is a delicious, classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its boozy rum flavor, plump raisins, and soft, tender texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield a delicious loaf of bread that you'll be proud to share. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy the sweet, intoxicating aroma of rum raisin bread baking in your kitchen.
