Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 50 mins Ready Time: 4 hrs


• put raisins in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover; set aside until raisins begin to plump, at least 15 minutes.
• dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• heat milk and 1/2 cup butter together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until milk is heated just below boiling, about 5 minutes. remove saucepan from heat and cool scalded milk to lukewarm temperature.
• beat 1 cup sugar, eggs, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; add milk mixture and yeast mixture and stir until just combined. drain raisins and stir into sugar mixture. beat flour, 2 cups at a time, into sugar mixture, beating well after each addition until dough is well mixed. set bowl in a warm area of the kitchen, cover with a clean towel, and allow dough to double in size, about 2 hours.
• grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• beat dough down to release air and pour into the prepared loaf pans.
• mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, and 1 tablespoon butter together in a bowl using 2 knives in a scissor-like fashion until crumbly; sprinkle over dough. allow dough to double in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
• preheat oven to 310 degrees f (154 degrees c).
• bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean, about 45 minutes. remove loaves from pans and cool on a wire rack.
