Ingredients
- 5 cups about 5 cups flour (625 gr.)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (6 gr.)
- 1 1/3 cups milk (1/3 liter)
- 1 active dry yeast (30 gr. )
- 1/2 cup butter (100 gr. )
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar (100 gr.)
- 3 egg
- 1/4 of a lemon rind , grated
- 1/2 cup golden raisins (50gr.)
- 8 10 walnut halves
Instructions
- Take butter out of refrigerator and let it get to room temperature.
- Grease and flour Bundt Cake pan.
- Arrange walnut halves in bottom of pan, cut half of the walnut should face up.
- Measure 4 cups of the flour into large mixing bowl, add salt. Set aside.
- Mix the butter, 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 of the eggs. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Place milk on very low burner, in a small saucepan. Milk MUST be warm, between 100 and 110°F! If the milk is too hot, the yeast may be killed; if the milk is too cold, it won't activate.
- Grate lemon rind and measure raisins, set aside.
- After the butter mixture has rested 5 minutes, add the 1/2 cup sugar, the other cup of flour and the other two eggs.
- Check milk temperature,when it's at the proper temperature stir in yeast .
- Add the milk and yeast to the 4 cups of flour and salt and mix well with wooden spoon.
- Add the butter mixture to the yeast mixture and mix well (this bread dough is very moist so unlike other breads, it is not kneaded!)
- Mix in lemon rind and raisins.
- Spoon into prepared pan, as evenly as possible. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until almost to the top of the pan. With original yeast, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. With Rapid rise yeast, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 350 about one hour until golden brown (cover with foil if it gets too brown). I rap the bread with my knuckle, if the bread sounds hollow, it's done.

Notes
- Store at room temperature. Can be frozen to keep fresher.
- Tips for yeast breads:
- You can "bloom" yeast in water or milk and sugar to see if it is still active. Liquid should be very warm.
- Always check package of yeast for recommended temperature of liquid, different types and brands bloom best at different temps.
- Don't rush the rising process. Dough should be doubled in the pan.
- Rise dough in a warm spot, covered with a clean kitchen towel. I usually turn the oven on low and place the rising dough near the exhaust of the oven. Not directly under the exhaust, but on top of the stove.
- General Baking Tips:
- Always measure dry ingredients with a dry measuring cup. Measure with dry measuring cups or weigh dry ingredients.
- Always measure liquid ingredients with liquid measuring cup
- Never break eggs directly into recipe ingredients. Break eggs into a separate bowl, in case you get any shells, so that you can pull them out.
- Make sure that you know what temperature your oven is set at. Buy an oven thermometer and check oven temperature regularly.
- Always check baked goods, like cakes or quick breads with cake tester, placed in center. If the tester comes out clean, it’s done.
