1 pkg instant dry yeast
1/3 cup softened butter
4 eggs
1 cup warm water

Scrape bowl and add 3 whole eggs, 1 egg white, ½ cup flour and ¼ cup sugar. Stir vigorously some more. 2. Stir in about 4 cups flour by hand (just enough to make a soft dough). Dough will be sticky.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh raisins, buttermilk, and eggs will give your iced raisin bread the best flavor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the bread rise in a warm place: This will help the bread to rise properly and give it a light and fluffy texture.
Bake the bread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Let the bread cool completely before icing it: This will help the icing to set properly.

Iced raisin bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and tangy icing, iced raisin bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
