Ingredients
- 1/2 cup warm whole milk
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 3 1/4 cups bread flour plus extra
- 4 TBSP plus 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- Stir together the warm milk and yeast in a large mixing bowl then let sit for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the 3 1/4 cups flour, the 4 TBSP oil, the 2 eggs, orange juice, raisins, and salt until thoroughly combined and a dough is formed.
- Knead the dough by hand while in the bowl for about 5 minutes, adding a little bit more flour if dough is too sticky.
- Form the dough into a ball then drizzle the dough ball with 1 tsp olive oil and flip the dough a few times to cover in the oil. Loosely cover the bowl and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Separate the dough into 2 equal size pieces then roll each piece of dough into a ball.
- Roll each dough ball into a rope roughly 12-inches long and place on the lined baking sheet.
- Twist the dough ropes together then pinch the ends and form into a loaf shape.
- Beat the remaining egg then brush the top of the bread with some of the beaten egg until well coated, dicarding any remaining beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
