Ingredients

• 1 package yeast
  
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  
• 2 cups bread flour
  
• 1 cup wheat flour
  
• 1 cup rye flour
  
• ¼ cup instant dry milk
  
• 1½ teaspoons salt
  
• 1¼ cups warm water
  
• 2¾ tablespoons vegetable oil
  
• 2 tablespoons honey
  
• 2 tablespoons raisins
  
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  

Steps

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
   
2. Combine the warm water, vegetable oil, honey, raisins and brown sugar into a blender. Blend until smooth.
   
3. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
   
4. Knead dough until smooth and satiny. Do this by using a mixer, with the dough hook attached. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
   
   • Finish kneading the dough on a baker's mat, if necessary.
     
5. Grease a large bowl and place the kneaded dough in the greased mixing bowl. Round up the dough to grease the top. Cover the bowl with plastic cook wrap. Let dough rise until it reaches about double the size.
   
6. Grease or spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
   
7. Punch down the risen dough and place on the baking sheet. Shape into a round loaf and place on baking sheet. Let rise again until almost double.
   
8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F approximately 15 minutes before baking the bread.
   
9. Bake the bread until golden brown. This should take about 45 minutes. The bread will sound hollow when thumped. The temperature of the bread will read 200ºF on an instant read thermometer when it is finished.
   
10. Cool bread on a wire cooling rack. Makes 1 round loaf of bread.
    
11. Slice bread when cool.
    

Tips

• For a soft crust, brush the bread with melted butter immediately after taking the baked loaf from the oven.
