SWEET YELLOW RAISINS BREAD RECIPE

Makes: 1 loaf (approx. 12 slices)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 Tbsp sugar

  • 1 Tbsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)

  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted into warm milk (~240 ml)

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¾–1 cup golden raisins (soaked in rum or water, optional but classic)

Adapted from a vintage “yellow raisin bread” method used in Europe Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 160 °C (320 °F). Grease & flour a loaf pan.

  2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and vanilla sugar.

  3. Warm milk and melt the butter in it; cool slightly. Whisk in eggs.

  4. Combine wet with dry ingredients, stir just until moistened.

  5. Fold in drained raisins.

  6. Pour into pan; bake ~1 hour. Insert a skewer—if it comes out clean, it’s done. Let cool before slicing

(Comparable to common cinnamon‑raisin breads) .

📌 Highlights & Health Notes

  • Natural sweetness: Raisins provide ~8 g natural sugar per slice, offering fiber (~1.5 g) and micronutrients like potassium, iron, and antioxidants

  • Moderate fat: Each slice has ~7 g fat, mostly from butter—if you prefer, you can substitute with oil or reduce the amount.

  • Whole‑food boost: Raisins are nutrient-dense and add fiber—2 g per ¼‑cup

  • Customizable: You can lighten the loaf by using low‑fat milk and reducing butter, or boost nutrition using whole wheat flour and additional spices like cinnamon.

✅ Tips

  • Rinse & soak raisins (plain water or rum) to prevent them from drying the loaf.

  • Don’t overmix—overworking gluten will make the bread dense.

  • Test for doneness after 50 minutes; if too brown, tent with foil and bake until a toothpick comes out clean.

TL;DR:

This lightly sweetened yellow raisin bread clocks in at ~180 kcal per slice with a balanced mix of carbs, fat, and protein, plus fiber and antioxidants from raisins. Perfect toasted with butter or as a breakfast treat!
