The process of bread making is always rewarding whenever a fresh hot loaf is out from the oven. The preparation and hours of waiting became so worthwhile when you finally may take a bite on a slice of fresh loaf.
This time, i have a great little helper making this bread together with me. It is fun making bread, especially doing it together with kids.

This follows the same recipe of the whole-wheat bread i made earlier, just added raisins into it.
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg active dry yeast
- 1 1/8 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 tsp salt
Steps:
- Soak the raisins in a bowl with hot boil water for at least 10-20mins, drain well b4 used
- Dissolve yeast in the water, add the honey and let sit 5min, until starts to foam/bubbling
- Add the rest of the ingredients in warmed mixer bowl, stir and start mixing on speed 2 with an electrical mixer/stand mixer until dough starts to clean sides of bowl
- Continue kneading on speed 2 for about 2 min longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch
- Scrape it onto a lightly floured surface and knead to form into a ball
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top
- Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temp, to double, about 1 hour
- Punch, re-shape and rise again to double, about 45 min
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a loaf
- Place it in greased loaf pan, cover and let rise to double, about 45 min
- Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 400F/204C and bake for 30-40min
- Remove from pan immediately and cool on a wire rack
