Number Of Ingredients 14

4 1/2 to 5 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 pkg instant dry yeast
1/3 cup softened butter
4 eggs
1 cup warm water

Cinnamon sugar (1/2 tsp cinnamon & 1/2 cup sugar)
AMISH BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix 1¼ cups flour, salt and instant yeast. Add butter and mix for one minute. Gradually add water. Stir vigorously. 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. Add raisins and 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar at this time. Reserve extra cinnamon sugar for other use. 3. Knead dough on a generously floured surface for 8-10 minutes. Place in oiled bowl, turn to coat with oil, cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Place in a warm, draft free place to rise for 1 to 1½ hours. 4. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Punch down dough and press flat to a 12″ x 8″ rectangle. Fold short ends in and roll up loaf starting on long side. Place seam side down on greased baking sheet. Return to warm place to rise for 1 hour. 5. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. When cool, frost top of loaf with white buttercream icing. Directions For Icing 1. In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix until well blended. 2. Add vanilla and cream and continue to stir, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

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.

Conclusion:

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.
